Willie Nelson曾在美国空军服役,空军裁员后Willie Nelson一家从得克萨斯州搬到了田纳西州的纳什维尔。60年代早期,Willie Nelson初成为一名歌手,但纳什维尔不接受他的反传统的说唱风格。1970年,Willie Nelson返回得克萨斯,他留起长发,举办个人演唱会,凭借嘶哑的独特嗓音赢得了自己的歌迷。
Willie Nelson曾两次和著名乡村音乐歌手Bob Dylan合作,在全国巡回演出。在舞台上,Willie Nelson和Bob Dylan的风格形成鲜明对照。Willie Nelson笑着登上舞台,手里挥动着乐谱;Bob Dylan则坐在一边,偶尔弹奏几首受欢迎的曲子,并负责每次演出节目的安排。
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dyin' ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no partin'
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain
