Willie Nelson released his 70th album, “First Rose of Spring” on Thursday. It was originally scheduled to come out in April but was postponed because of COVID-19.
It’s a mix of new songs and covers, including his take on Chris Stapleton’s “Our Song” and Toby Keith’s “Don’t Let the Old Man In”.
Track List:
1. “First Rose of Spring” (Randy Houser, Allen Shamblin & Mark Beeson)
2. “Blue Star” (Willie Nelson & Buddy Cannon)
3. “I’ll Break Out Again Tonight” (Sanger “Whitey” Shafer & Doodle Owens)
4. “Don’t Let the Old Man In” (Toby Keith)
5. “Just Bummin’ Around” (Pete Graves)
6. “Our Song” (Chris Stapleton)
7. “We Are the Cowboys” (Billy Joe Shaver)
8. “Stealing Home” (Marla Cannon-Goodman, Casey Beathard & Don Sampson)

10. “Love Just Laughed” (Willie Nelson & Buddy Cannon)
11. “Yesterday When I Was Young (Hier Encore)” (Charles Aznavour & Herbert Kretzmer)
It’s pretty incredible to release 70 albums in your lifetime. His first album, “And Then I Wrote,” came out in 1960.
