Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf On The Tree, celebrates his 91st year with a soulful collection of covers spanning rock, indie, alt-pop, and folk, alongside new and revisited originals. Produced and curated by his son Micah Nelson, the album features songs by artists like Beck, The Flaming Lips, Nina Simone, Tom Waits, and Neil Young. With sparse, haunting production, it explores themes of loss, love, and hope. The record includes contributions from Daniel Lanois, John Densmore, and longtime collaborator Mickey Raphael.
