To All the Songs I’ve Loved Before….



So, the Dorf household is a divided household. I love Willie Nelson's music--rather his singing AND his guitar playing. Malinda only likes his guitar playing. Thus, out of respect for her, I rarely play Willie out loud.  
For Christmas, I received an expansive Willie Nelson biography by Andrew Vaughn titled Willie Nelson: American Icon. Willie’s had quite the life, and this retrospective up to mid-2017 was filled with incredible photos and an entertaining look back through not only his career, but his life in general. There are a few hiccups in the writing a few times, namely the amount of times his singing style is described as being “sycophantic.” There are also a few repeat anecdotes, but I can look past those. I learned a lot about Shotgun Willie, and the photographs are truly amazing. If you are a Willie Nelson fan, this book is for you. After reading it, it truly made me want to go back and re-discover Nelson all over again.
