Nelson's Outlaw Tour returns

"What an amazing lineup to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour. I can't wait to join friends and family in bringing this celebration to the fans we love," said Nelson.
Last year's tour did not quite as planned because Nelson was sick and had to bow out of about two weeks of shows. The concerts continued with his son Lukas Nelson replacing him.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Feb. 7, at 10 a.m. local time via OulawMusicFestival.com and ticketmaster.com.

Willie Nelson has released more than 150 albums in his career, including four in the past two years. All this while approaching and surpassing the age of 90. Of all his many solo recordings, "The Border" ranks as one of his best.
