Willie Nelson’s 78th album, Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle, comes out this week, and to celebrate, we’re listening back to our 2020 interview with Willie, around the released of his album First Rose of Spring. Willie shares about following his instincts when choosing songs to record, the advice he gives his kids Lukas and Micah as musicians, and how he feels about growing older in country music. That’s on the next World Cafe.
