      The second single from Willie’s new studio album (his 152nd!) is “Made In Texas.” Penned by Shawn Camp and Monty Holmes, “Made In Texas” fits Nelson like a glove. It’s two and a half minutes of Western swing-infused fun, which states “In Lone Star beer and Stetson hats? And Ernest Tubb we trust,” adding the Willie-friendly line “You can always tell a Texan / Oh, but you can’t tell him much.” The song’s release offers a great way to celebrate Willie’s birthday, as he was also made in Texas in 1933, with April 29th marking his 91st birthday.

      Willie Nelson – “The Border” Radio Tracks

      Click play to check out new Willie Nelson radio tracks from The Border, released May 31, 2024 on Columbia / Legacy.

      Formats: AAA, Americana, Country, Bluegrass. Folk, Noncomm

      Cowritten by Rodney Crowell and Allen Shamblin for Crowell's 2019 Texas album (a thematic tribute to the Lone Star State which featured guest artist Willie Nelson), "The Border" describes the inner life and outer reality of a border guard ("I work on the border, I see what I see") with Crowell's composition described in Rolling Stone as "more humanist than political, but no less tragic because of it." Willie's wise worldly take on the provocative song taps into an urgent universal relevancy that defines The Border.
