The country legend's 70th solo studio album was originally due to be released on April 24, but will now be held until July 3.
Fans can still pre-order the Buddy Cannon-produced project, which will be available on CD, vinyl and digital formats when it finally debuts. Those who have already pre-ordered the album will receive their copies on the new release date, rather than next month.
Nelson has already shared his Chris Stapleton cover of "Our Song" and the title track, "First Rose of Spring." This will mark the legend's first release following his 2020 Grammy win for Best Country Solo Performance for the title track from his 2019 album, "Ride Me Back Home."
While not specifically outlined in a press release announcing the delay, Nelson's album has likely been pushed back due to the unforseen circumstances, which has postponed nearly all concert tours in North America to allow for fans, artists, producers, engineers and others involved the opportunity to isolate and lessen the spread of the virus.
Artists have innovated, however, taking to social media to perform concerts via livestream — Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Hunter Hayes and more have opened their social platforms to entertain fans in isolation. In addition to all major tours, the 2020 ACM Awards have been pushed back to September. They normally take place in April in Las Vegas.

DeleteWillie helped me down many dirt roads and out of the grey and into the clear blue skys
ReplyDeleteHOLD ON NOW I don't think Willie has gone any were yet. (?) We all need a break from time to time. Even Willie. And so do you and I. And beside Merle isn't ready for him to come for a visit yet. Merle is still making plains on how they are going to spend their money and i'm pretty sure some mean green will be involved. A star that went form spinning record as a DJ on the radio
ReplyDeleteto breaking records as county star.He has always been a hero of my and always will
I feel exactly the same as You AND I Love listening to his music and songs as well as I like hearing Trigger played. So keep on keeping on WILLY
DeleteWillie, I have listened to your songs and gone to your concerts with you performing for many years. I will continue listening to your songs forever. Will you be having another concert near Madison, Wisconsin? Louise Lambert
ReplyDeleteI can wait for the new release! Thanks Willie for all your great music!
ReplyDeleteRepent and be baptized and vote for Trump. Come on willie, you can still make it to heaven. Your hourglass is almost empty. For the love God Willie DON'T SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE.
ReplyDeletescotty...you got to stop drinkin’ that Kool Aid.
DeleteWilly don't go with the dark side you are a true child of Yahwah God you must follow him in what ever you do. The others are the children of Satan .
ReplyDeleteYou Are Always On My Mind, Willie. Love to the Moon and Back.
ReplyDeleteyeah!
DeleteI saw a short video of Willie and the boys. He needs to harness that media and share his intimate personable way. even a pay per view You Tube platform if there is such a thing. I would gladly pay to see him do about anything. The videos are close an personal. We do not “need” the bright lights and hoopla. A Chance to just watch him play a while is priceless. We are in a kinder gentler phase of time. Willie glows!
ReplyDeleteWho ever posted this rant is sure out in left field. Willie is still the Willie of the sixties and seventies. Live and let live? Just listen to the music.
ReplyDeleteI Like! I like!
ReplyDeleteWe need another just like this one!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, old granny.
ReplyDeleteWilly,You are and will always be my great love! I brought my son Gabe to see your concert at Santa Monica civic in 1976. He was about 4. He ran up to you and said "Oh Willy, I wish you were my real father!, you looked at me and winked and said, "I do too, son." you stopped my heart.
ReplyDeleteyou are as stupid as trump drink some more lies and die
ReplyDeleteLove your music. New here but wanted you to know my father listened to you all the time. He looked you. Stay Safe
ReplyDeleteWillie is my favorite country singer. I am 88 and hope to make it to 100,I think but I haven't had as much fun as he has.
ReplyDeleteWillie when I meet My Husband You brought out Angel's Flying Too Close The Ground! He had all your albums and You become Our Favorite Singer and song writer!!!!!! We Love You Willie!!!
ReplyDeleteIt will not be the same without Willy Nelson! He is a ledge and a permanent icon of C & W!!!
ReplyDeleteA bit strong, don't ya think? But for each his own!!! But jyst foe the record I am pushing for TRUMP and GANG😝
ReplyDeleteas far as i'M CONCERNED country died today
ReplyDeleteyou are showing your absolute ignorance and i am sure willie is glad to be rid of you as a fan.....good ridance
ReplyDeletelike his music .
ReplyDeleteThat's not a fan, she's a fanatic. Crazy about her president, or just plain crazy. It's all the same. I love Willie. I went to one of his picnics one July 4th, and he was a most gracious host.
ReplyDeleteYou mean drink the Lysol?
ReplyDeleteI have lost a few friends for not liking Trump. I can't believe people go so nuts over him. Hitler was the same, and we thought he was the antichrist!
ReplyDeleteWho died????
