Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor and activist. The critical success of his album "Shotgun Willie" (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of his albums "Red Headed Stranger" (1975) and "Stardust" (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in more than 30 films, co-authored several books, and advocated for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
