TWO NEW ONE-HOUR RADIO SPECIALS FOR WILLIE NELSON'S 75TH BIRTHDAY!

** MY OWN PECULIAR WAY - THE SONGS OF WILLIE NELSON

** TRUE OUTLAW STORIES - ON THE ROAD WITH WILLIE NELSON

** Third bonus piece in this series includes both the newest and oldest Willie Nelson tracks available for airplay - "When I've Sung My Last Hillbilly Song" revisits the first song he ever recorded in 1954 during his airshift at KBOP in Pleasanton, TX.

------------------------------------------------

Brand-new exclusive interviews with Willie Nelson and his extended musical family (Paul English, Mickey Raphael, Jody Payne, Bobbie Nelson +, Poodie Locke) tell rich, colorful stories that take you deep inside Willie's heart, soul and mind.

MY OWN PECULIAR WAY focuses mostly on Willie's life story, his best known songs, and how the two are often intertwined.

TRUE OUTLAW STORIES features many of the hilarious episodes from the "band of gypsies" going down the highway, on tour with Willie over the last 40 years.

Between these stories, each program is packed with a unique playlist of Willie's best-known songs.

Both hours are hosted by Rodney Crowell and also feature comments by country legend Charlie Louvin, singer/songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard, and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline.

You can flexibly schedule them as a two-part series, one two-hour block or your choice of two great one-hour specials.
