Willie's Last Bio, Until He's 80
Joe Nick Patoski's Willie Nelson (Little, Brown) may be the last bio we'll need on him for a while. Willie turned 75 in 2008, so look for another view of him when he's 80. Patoski is definitely a fan, but he's also critical and cuts Willie no slack with his womanizing and drinking. But I do have a bone to pick. How could he run through Nelson's last 10 years of so-so albums and not give a sentence or two to 1999's all instrumental Jazz/Country Night and Day? What's weird is that he mentions it in his Discography section on his 40 favorite Nelson albums. It's a forgotten gem in Nelson's catalog. But when you have a catalog as big as his there's bound to be some that even a nearly 500 page bio will miss.
