Mamas shouldn’t let their babies grow up to be cowboys, but they should never deny those kids a Willie Nelson concert.
The legendary singer, songwriter and guitarist, known nearly as much for his marijuana consumption as his music, packed the Coffee Butler Amphitheater on Feb. 12 and played the crowd favorites that span four generations of fans.
With songs like “Whiskey River,” “Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain,” “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before” and “Pancho and Lefty,” Nelson knows what his crowds like and never fails to deliver.
Nelson performed with his longtime band, The Family, which often features one of his sons, Micah Nelson. The rest of the band includes Mickey Raphael, Billy English, Kevin Smith and occasionally Waylon Payne.
Still touring and performing at age 90, Willie Nelson may be living proof of marijuana’s healing benefits.
