Willie Nelson Celebrates Birthday With Box Set, Tour

To celebrate his 75th birthday on April 30, country legend Willie Nelson is piling on the presents...for us. Legacy has a whole year of releases planned, starting with a four-CD, 100-song box set called One Hell of a Ride.

Featuring tunes from across Nelson's five-decade-spanning catalog, One Hell of a Ride will come out on April 1 with liner notes from Joe Nick Patoski. Patoski's biography of Nelson, Willie Nelson: An Epic Life, will also come out this spring via Little, Brown.

Then on April 29, Legacy will release #1s, a single-disc collection of Nelson's country and pop chart-toppers.

Even more Willie Nelson releases on Legacy have yet to be announced, but for now, we have this: a big long tour starting in February.
