Outlaw country legend Willie Nelson has announced a new album called A Beautiful Time. It's due to arrive on April 29 through Legacy Recordings to celebrate Nelson's 89th birthday. Along with the announcement, Nelson has also shared the record's lead single, "I'll Love You Till the Day I Die."
Most of the songs on A Beautiful Time were co-written by Nelson and Buddy Cannon, but "I'll Love You Till the Day I Die" is technically a Rodney Crowell and Chris Stapleton original. The new album also includes covers of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" and Leonard Cohen's 1988 song "Tower of Song."
Nelson released two albums in 2021, sharing the Frank Sinatra tribute record That's Life and the collaborative full-length The Willie Nelson Family. That same year, he appeared on Sturgill Simpson's The Ballad of Dood & Juanita on the track "Juanita." He also covered David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" with Karen O.
