Willie Nelson Tickets - Willie Nelson Is Still At It Posted By: Brent Warnken

Don't let Willie Nelson's age fool you, even after 50 years on the road he manages to keep his audience-and his band-guessing. Nelson's backing band is comprised of Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Joe Sample (piano), Christian McBride (bass) and Lewis Nash (drums), all of whom played on his latest album, American Classic. Nelson's longtime harmonica player Mickey Raphael recently told ToledoBlade online, "There is no set list. He'll start off with 'Whiskey River,' then we have no idea where he is going after that. We don't know from one night to the next what to expect. That's what keeps it interesting and fresh. He is playing more guitar than ever before. If you're at all a fan of guitar playing, it's worth it if he never sang a note." But he does sing quite a few notes on his current tour, which sees fans clamoring for Willie Nelson tickets to see him live.Willie Nelson emerged as one of the original outlaws of country music in the 1960s, penning hit songs for artists like Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Billy Walker ("Funny How Times Slips Away"), Ray Price ("Night Life") and others.
