From his earliest work in the 1950s to today, Willie looks back at the songs that have defined his career, from his days of earning $50 each to his biggest hits, from his less well-known songs (but incredibly meaningful to him) to his concept albums. Along the way, he also shares the stories of his guitar Trigger, his family and "family," as well as the artists he collaborated with, including Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, and many others.

The first ever children's book by music legend Willie Nelson and his sister and bandmate Bobbie Nelson! "We had so little money, but so much love." He was a boy with a guitar. She was a girl with a piano. Raised by loving grandparents in Depression-era rural Texas, their humble beginnings playing local shows to put food on the table started Willie and Bobbie Nelson on a remarkable path to global stardom. In a story filled with details of a childhood in rural Texas—with church socials, general stores, and town dances—Willie and Bobbie weave together an inspiring story of a long-ago time. With triumphs and tragedies, hard work and determination, here is a deeply personal, gorgeously-written, and profoundly moving tale of hope.

Abandoned by their parents as toddlers, Willie and Bobbie Nelson discovered their passion for music through their grandparents in a small Texas town. Their enduring bond, the longest in their lives, is explored in this heartfelt dual memoir. Alternating chapters reveal their intertwined experiences, from childhood memories and early public performances to the challenges they faced in adulthood. Willie pursued a songwriting career while Bobbie navigated difficult relationships and eventually found success in music as societal attitudes towards women evolved in Texas. As a longtime member of Willie's band, Bobbie shares her story for the first time, detailing her personal life and her skills as a musician, which Willie acknowledges as exceptional. Together, they supported each other through unimaginable tragedies and celebrated each other's successes. Their journey encompasses both the highs and lows, including abusive relationships, the loss of children, and the peaks of their musical careers. Ultimately, their story is a poignant testament to the enduring strength of family and the unbreakable bond they share.

V knize Až umřu, ubalte si mě a zakuřte si vypráví Willie Nelson o věcech, které ho nejvíce ovlivnily a které jsou pro něj nejdůležitější, a oslavuje svou rodinu, přátele a kolegy, kteří požehnali jeho pozoruhodnou cestu. Willie vypráví o všem: o hudbě, svých manželkách, o Texasu, politice, koních, náboženství, marihuaně, dětech, životním prostředí, pokeru, koních, Nashvillu, karmě a dalších tématech. Dělí se o svoji moudrost psance, kterou nabyl za osm desetiletí, spolu se svými oblíbenými vtipy a názory přátel a jiných blízkých lidí. Půvabné a dojemné vzpomínky doplňují vzácné rodinné obrázky, krásné ilustrace jeho syna Micaha Nelsona a texty klasických písní.

"If you had to give America a voice, it's been said more than once, that voice would be Willie Nelson's. For more than fifty years, he's taken the stuff of his life - the good and the bad - and made from it a body of work that has become a permanent part of our musical heritage and kept us company through the good and the bad of our own lives. Long before he became famous as a performer. Willie Nelson was known as a songwriter, keeping his young family afloat by writing songs - like "Crazy" - that other people turned into hits.". "So it's fitting, and cause for celebration, that he has finally set down in his own words a book that does justice to his great gifts as a storyteller. In The Facts of Life, Willie Nelson reflects on what has mattered to him in life and what hasn't. He also tells some great dirty jokes. The result is a book as wise and hilarious as its author. It's not meant to be taken seriously as an instruction manual for living, but you could do a lot worse."--BOOK JACKET.
