Willie Nelson's Tops The Charts with 'God's Problem Child'

(Press Release) God's Problem Child, Willie Nelson's new studio album (and 9th for Sony/Legacy Recordings) has entered the Billboard Country chart at #1, making it the artist's second US country chart-topper in less than two years. Nelson's 6th Legacy release, Django and Jimmie, an unforgettable musical collaboration with Merle Haggard, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country chart in June 2015.  God's Problem Child   is Willie's first album to debut all-new songs since Band of Brothers (his 4th Legacy release) reached #1 on the Billboard Country chart (and #5 on the Billboard 200) in June 2014.  Willie's new album has also entered the Billboard 200 at #10 and is his third Legacy release to break into the Top 10 pop charts.
 
God's Problem Child is being lauded in both the mainstream and underground press as an essential addition to the Willie Nelson catalog with The Wall Street Journal naming it one of "This Spring's Best Country Albums."
 
Willie has lensed several music videos for songs from God's Problem Child.  These include "Still Not Dead", which pokes fun at the many exaggerated reports of his demise he's heard over the years, and the album's closer,  "He Won't Ever Be Gone,"  a song written by Gary Nicholson which pays tribute to Willie's outlaw country comrade, Merle Haggard. (Haggard's last album was 2015's  Django and Jimmie, his musical  collaboration  with Willie Nelson.)
 
An album that reflects on mortality while marveling at the beauty and absurdity of it all, God's Problem Child finds Willie Nelson at one of the creative peaks of his career, writing and singing with the seasoned wit and wisdom that can only come from the kind of life he's living.
 
Nelson continues making music every day. When he's not in the studio, Willie's on the road and performed more than 100 live shows in the past year. Coming up on his calendar are a number of tour dates in June and July including the Outlaw Music Festival and Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic in Austin.  For details on Willie's upcoming performances.
