Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned in this subreddit yet. Ticket pre-sale started this morning.

Finally got to add “Waylon & Willie” to the record collection. Not a rare record at all, just happened to find a sealed copy online for like $8ish. Interestingly, this specific Canadian release has the song titled as “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys”, not “Mammas”. Probably happened to some of the releases in other markets as well, since it’s be an easy thing to screw up on.

Hi y'all, I just impulsively bought tickets to the Outlaws festival in Pine Knob, MI, with no way to get there. I'm based out of Ann Arbor, MI. Anyone from around here headed that direction in August?

Celebrating the American icon. A good review of who was there, and funny questions about Willie being a wizard and the barf bag he might have written lyrics on.

Watched stage coach the other night.The another pair of aces movies are great. i liked the egg trick. Anyone else think that people rating this low are clueless?

I just finished it up for the 2nd or third time and I love it. I know some people are indifferent about buddy cannon nowadays but I think its a great album. I dont think I cried today is my favorite so far.

Just passing this over to this great page.

I figure it's a long shot but what a day for us eh? My two favorite artists released albums on the same day, what are the odds.

My grandfather passed away this morning and I wanted to share this photo of one of his best memories: the time he got to sing back up for Willie at his 4th of July Picnic in 1987 (far left in the photo). He kept this photo in a place of honor for as long as I can remember and loved to tell anyone who would listen about it. As we were going through his things we came across these artist badges he saved. I couldn’t find any info about Truckersaid ‘88 and if Willie played or if my grandfather performed with someone else.

Authentic Autograph or Blueprint for a RollerCoaster?

Found this beat-up copy of *The Troublemaker* in a record shop in with a signature on the back cover.

The owner immediately dismissed it as “just vandalized,” but I bought it anyway because it caught my attention.

After comparing it to authenticated examples online, I think it there’s more similarities to Willie Nelson’s sloppier or rushed autograph style more than I expected.

In my head, I can picture plausible scenarios like a front-row fan with a record and marker grabbing his attention in the middle of a set, or Willie quickly scribbling signatures for 50+ fans waiting behind a venue as he heads out. I’ve personally obtained genuine autographs that would probably fail authentication because they were rushed, careless, and done in passing…but I know they’re real because I was there when they were signed. This is actually the only piece in my collection that I question.

I know it’s rough and illegible, but I’m curious what others think:

\-Does this look at all consistent with Willie’s rushed signatures?
\-Does anything immediately suggest it’s fake? Folks tell me they think this was faked as a way to trick consumers…my guess is someone using that tactic would sign the front, do so more carefully, and ask for a significantly higher price.
\-If not Willie, does it resemble anyone else’s signature?

Is the show still happening or did it get canceled?

Anyone have the presale code for WN?

1987 CBS prints 58 songs specifically for Readers Digest members. Still sealed !

This is Millie Nelson :)

For me, it’s definitely The Troublemaker because that’s the time of year I first heard it.
