AUDIO: Willie Nelson (1998)
Chris Smith, Rock's Backpages Audio, 8 September 1998
The outlaw-country icon talks about what makes Texas such fertile ground for songwriters and musicians; about his discovery of the Austin scene; his early years as a writer in Nashville, and pitching 'Crazy' to Patsy Cline; the struggle to break through as an artist, and at some length about songwriting.
