Howdy Buckaroos! John Wesley Karson’s Icons of Outlaw Country is servin’ up a double dose of Willie Nelson on this week’s show! We’re kickin’ things off in the second hour with his brand new song, “The Border.”
Then, to celebrate the Red Headed Stranger’s incredible career, we’re dedicating the rest of the hour to the legend himself. That includes a rare gem – the very first song Willie ever recorded back in 1955! Don’t miss this outlaw extravaganza, right here on Icons of Outlaw Country!
