Willie Nelson celebrated his 90th birthday by doing the same thing he's done for most of those years: making music with his friends.
blazed through 1970's “Bloody Mary Morning” at the same break-neck pace that Willie and his Family Band played it live in their prime.
Another surviving member of the Family Band, harmonica master Mickey Raphael, was part of the weekend's house band, led by Don Was, which backed almost everyone. Leon Bridges' “Night Life” showed off Nelson's affinity for the blues, as did Jones' jazzy trip through “Funny How Time Slips Away” from 1961, when Nelson was known primarily as a songwriter of hits for others.
Young first took the stage with his early collaborator Stephen Stills. The pair played a revved up version of “For What It's Worth,” swapping guitar solos on the classic hit they made as members of Buffalo Springfield in 1966. But the 90-year-old wasn't ready to stop. He interrupted and broke into Mac Davis' “It’s Hard to Be Humble,” which Nelson and his sons recorded in 2019.
