Here’s a more in‑depth look at that uplifting piece about Willie Nelson:
—
At **92 years old**, Willie Nelson is far from slowing down—“the life he loves,” as he calls it, is still his full-time passion ([apnews.com][1]).
**🎸 Still Touring with Outlaw Vibes**
Nelson is currently on tour with the Outlaw Music Festival’s 10th-anniversary leg, sharing the stage with long-time friend Bob Dylan. The tour resumed on June 20 in Clarkston, Michigan, and keeps rolling nationwide ([apnews.com][1]). He’s enthusiastic about the camaraderie: “Bob’s a good friend. And I’ll be glad to let him headline.” He also laughed off any notions of retirement, stating, “I’m not through with it yet.” ([apnews.com][1])
**📀 New Music: Album #77 Out Now**
This spring saw the release of his 77th studio album, *Oh What a Beautiful World*—12 songs by Rodney Crowell, with Crowell even sharing vocals on the title track ([apnews.com][1]). The album not only celebrates the 50th anniversary of *Red Headed Stranger* but also highlights Willie’s affinity for his fellow songwriters. He’s already at work on album number 78—though he’s keeping the details under wraps ([apnews.com][1]).
**👨👦 Family on Stage, No Set Lists**
Many original members of his “Family Band” have passed, but the legacy continues with a new, deeply familial ensemble—his sons Lukas and Micah, plus other legacy members ([apnews.com][1]). One defining trait: no set list. Willie improvises each show: “I’d rather play it off the top of my head… I can read the crowd pretty good. They jump in there” ([houstonchronicle.com][2]).
**🌱 Enduring Passions & Projects**
Beyond music, he remains engaged with Farm Aid—this year marks its 40th anniversary in Minneapolis this September ([apnews.com][1]). And in the cannabis world, he’s launched *Willie’s Remedy+*, a THC tonic that aligns with his shift to edibles for health reasons ([apnews.com][1]).

**In short**, Willie Nelson continues at full throttle—touring, recording, improvising onstage, supporting farmers, and expanding his cannabis brand. As he puts it, he’s certainly “not through” writing his story yet. That determination truly captures the spirit of a living legend.
