Fresh from receiving BMI's prestigious Icon Award, Willie Nelson will release his new album, Moment of Forever, on Jan. 29, 2008.
Produced by Music Row veteran Buddy Cannon and Kenny Chesney, the album was recorded in a series of sessions earlier this year in Nashville. The album is introduced by the title song and first single, which was written by Kris Kristofferson and Danny Timms, and has already become a concert favorite with fans during Willie's 2007 tours.
Kenny duets with Willie on the swinging honky-tonk tune "Worry B Gone," written by Guy Clark, Gary Nicholson and Lee Roy Parnell, and he also co-wrote the track "I'm Alive." Other songs include Randy Newman's "Louisiana," Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody," Dave Matthews' "Gravedigger" and "The Bob Song" written by Big Kenny of Big & Rich. The album also features two new songs written by Willie and one from his sons Lukas and Micah of the rising band 40 Point.
Nelson will jumps back on the road again in 2008 with a tour schedule that includes an appearance at the Super Bowl XLII Tailgate Party in Phoenix/Glendale on Feb. 3 and a two-night appearance with the Dallas Symphony on March 5 and 6.
