Dream Chaser

Willie Nelson is back with what’s being billed as his 156th (!) studio album. Dream Chaser, arriving from Legacy Recordings in all of the expected formats, precedes the soon-to-be-93-year old legend’s latest go-round headlining the Outlaw Music Festival this summer. Dream Chaser features new tunes co-written with frequent collaborators Buddy Cannon and Mickey Raphael as well as “I Can’t Read Your Mind,” on which Nelson and Cannon share credit with none other than Bob Dylan. (Though he joined the last two Outlaw Festivals, Dylan won’t be performing on this summer’s jaunt.) Though Dylan and Nelson have sung together before, including on the 1993 duet “Heartland,” this marks their first co-composition. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
