Rodney Crowell and Willie Nelson have come together again for Nelson's new album, Oh What A Beautiful World. Coming out on April 25th, the album highlights twelve Crowell songs including "Oh What A Beautiful World," released earlier this week as a duet between Crowell and Nelson.
This album will reimagine a variety of Crowell favorites with Nelson's own twist on them. Each track was written or co-written by Crowell, pulling songs from throughout his songwriting career. From early hits such as "Banks Of The Old Bandera" (1976) to more recent releases like "Oh What A Beautiful World" (2014), this set showcases many eras of Crowell's work.
This is not the first time these two Texas icons have crossed paths. Crowell was first introduced to Nelson's work in the 1960s, and they have since collaborated on multiple projects. Nelson first recorded one of his songs in 1983 and did so again on his 2024 album, The Border.
