Nelson's career has spanned six decades


Nelson's career has spanned six decades and more than 200 albums, and he has written such chart-toppers as "Crazy," "Hello Walls," "Red Headed Stranger" and "Stardust." He is also an actor known for his activism, especially as president and founding member of Farm Aid, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on their land.

His latest album, "Country Music," will be released April 20 on Rounder Records. Produced by T Bone Burnett, the CD features old-time banjo master Riley Baugus, double bassist Dennis Crouch and Burnett himself, all musicians featured on the acclaimed Robert Plant/Alison Krauss album "Raising Sand."

At age 76, Nelson performs more than 200 shows a year. He is expected to perform some songs from "Country Music" while on tour.

People planning to attend either of the Willie Nelson concerts at Mystic Lake Casino this weekend will have to change their plans. The two shows have been postponed until October.

Willie Nelson and Family were originally scheduled to perform March 26-27. Tickets for the Friday, March 26 show will be honored Friday, October 8 and tickets for the Saturday, March 27 show will be honored Saturday, October 9. You can return tickets for a refund through July 31.

In addition to the Minnesota reschedule, Willie Nelson Tickets has had to reschedule four other planned stops in the Midwest. The dreaded scheduling conflicts has been cited Sold Out Ticket Market as as to why the last-minute date changes were necessary.
