Willie Nelson's Letters to America

By: Willie Nelson, Turk Pipkin - contributor

Narrated by: Turk Pipkin

Following his bestselling memoir, It's a Long Story, Willie Nelson now delivers his most intimate thoughts and stories in Willie Nelson's Letters to America.

From his opening letter "Dear America" to his "Dear Willie" epilogue, Willie digs deep into his heart and soul—and his music catalog—to lift us up in difficult times, and to remind us of the endless promise and continuous obligations of all Americans—to themselves, to one another, and to their nation.

In a series of letters straight from the heart, Willie sends his thanks and his thoughts to:

• Americans past, present, and future,
• his closest family members, and his parents, sister, and children,
• his other family members
• his guitar "Trigger",
• his hero Gene Autry,
• and the US founding fathers.

He also pens notes to his personal heroes, from our founding fathers to the leaders of future generations and to young songwriters as well as leaders of our future generations.

Willie's letters are rounded out with the moving lyrics to some of his most famous and insightful songs, including "Let Me Be a Man," "Family Bible," "Summer of Roses," "Me and Paul," "A Horse called Music," "Healing Hands of Time," and "Yesterday's Wine."

Critic reviews

"Partly autobiographical, often funny, and entirely insightful from a cannabis-loving man who's fully experienced every one of his 88 years, Willie Nelson's Letters to America is a beautiful read for all." (New York Journal of Books)

Here is the headline so I could submit my review

Willie Nelson would be cool to just kick it with...Whether it be asses or faces....Just kick it....And get high AF!

Listen and learn

Great perspective on life. we need more people like Willie in our lives.. Live by the golden rule, please

new knowledge

enjoyed these stories, don't agree with all of Willie's outlook. some misinformation but overall entertaining.

Very good story

This is a very good story and I found a lot of what he says is funny I just love Willie Nelson it would’ve been better if it would’ve been read by Willie Nelson himself but it is still wonderful He tells it like it is and how it should be.

Simply the best.

Quintessential Willie. So much of his philosophy on love and life. I loved it. His best yet.

I’ve always liked Willie

I Wish Willie had read it himself, but it was still a very good listen.

Country Etc.

Ok...what can I say.. .....Willie is my all time favorite performer! He is the best.

Common sense

Few of us can see our world through music… Our world is cluttered and avoids, the delight, the enjoyment enthusiasm and the philosophy, wonderful music! Thank you, Willie

Just Listen

loved it from the first word to the last. Willie Nelson is an American treasure. I can't wait to listen again and again. He and I don't know each other, but we sure agree on much. Listen with an open mind. Let the words and opinions ferment for a bit. See if you can agree as well.

This book could save America

Every single American should read this book. Willie Nelson and American hero, and if we can’t learn how to Live peacefully together as Americans after reading Willie‘s amazing common sense words of wisdom, then there is no hope for us. Willie says there is indeed help for us and I believe him
