Last Leaf on the Tree

Nov 1, 2024

Lovingly curated and produced by his son Micah Nelson, LAST LEAF ON THE TREE finds Willie covering songs from moody indie rock (Beck), psych alt-pop (The Flaming Lips – “Do You Realize??” at radio now!) and punk-informed folk (Sunny War, Micah’s Particle Kid) to thought-provoking soul jazz (Nina Simone) and lesser-known gems from legends like Tom Waits, Neil Young, Keith Richards, and Warren Zevon.
