    He has written so many songs that were hits for other people before he started recoding them himself..He's been doing it from the 50's. There are videos of him from that time. You should listen to "blue eyes crying in the rain", you'll love it.

    When we lose Willy, it is going to be a sad, sad day. Thanks for reacting to Willy. One of the greatest country and western singer/songwriters and probably the biggest proponent of weed in history. It was always headline news when Willy's tour bus would get stopped by the cops on the highway (no pun intended) and he'd get busted for possession. (This was before laws had loosened up over weed) News stations would be filming when Willy was released from the cop shop and Willy always walked out with a big ole grin on his face basically saying, "Til next time, guys."....and there were a lot of next times. lol Take care and be well, guys. Peace.

    Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in 1972. Brenda Lee also released a version in 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories.
    AllMusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.[1] While Lee's version stalled at number 45 on the US country chart in 1972, other performers reached the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions: Elvis Presley in 1972; John Wesley Ryles in 1979; Willie Nelson's Grammy Award-winning version in 1982; and Pet Shop Boys in 1987.

    Willie is without a doubt a true inspiration. It's different, but this song reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" - it's very emotional (especially if you know the background which is tragic) and heartfelt. A wonderful piece by Eric - highly recommended.

    One of the things that really sets Willie apart is his phrasing. Listen to his tests, the time that he holds notes for, the changes in pitch. He does all these without upsetting the time signature or the key of a song. I do not know of any other singer who does all those things. Put all that together with his unique voice and you get magic. Something else that is often unnoticed is his range. He makes everything sound so easy and effortless that you don't even realize how wide a range he's covered. I didn't notice it until I was singing along one day and found that I had bottomed out on my range. Willie still sounded like he'd never dropped below a deep tenor, yet unnoticed he'd eased down to bass.

    I had the privilege of watching Willie Nelson perform live in concert in 2009, at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio. It was a short time after his 76th birthday. Willie Nelson hooked up a microphone on the bottom end of his acoustic guitar, and proceeded to give the guitar performance of a lifetime. He played all of his hit songs, and he sang and performed about a half-dozen Blues songs that night, Nelson's electrified acoustic guitar growled like a grizzly bear, and his guitar playing BLEW ME AWAY! I just wish that there was a videotaped performance of Willie Nelson during that tour. It was clearly some of the best performances of his career.

    Thank you for this reaction. My parents loved Willie and he was one of the first artists I saw live with my dad. Tomorrow would've been my dad's 75th birthday. Whenever I hear this song I picture the two of them slow dancing.
    Willie is actually the one who turned me on to country music and I still love that Outlaw country.
    Thanks again. I feel like I've gotten a gift from my dad on his birthday. Keep up the great work.

    One of the most beautiful and surreal moments in my life came when I was hiking in the mountains in Thailand outside Chang Mai. I was solo with my guide, Lek, and we passed another group whose Thai guide looked to be about 70 years old. Lek and I stopped to chat for a moment then went on. A few minutes later I heard the most beautiful tenor voice echoing through the mountains -- that elderly tour guide singing "You Were Always On My Mind"!

    Whiskey River is one of his signature songs from the album Shotgun Willie, 1973. Saw him 3x in the 70s. Once in concert, once at a dance he headlined and at his 1978 4th of July Picnic near Dripping Springs, TX. He started with Whiskey River every time. I saw his harmonic player, Mickey Raphael, who’s played with Willie for 40 years, performing with Chris Stapleton in concert earlier this year. Amazing man, amazing story and relationships, amazing career. He’s 88 now. May he be well.

And if we all live and love long enough we'll experience these kinds of moments when we know that when we look back on a former love, former relationship or even in a present relationship, we could've done better. And we want the chance to do better and make it up to our loved one. This song is so powerful even as the lyrics seem so simple.
