American singer songwriter Willie Nelson will release a new album called Last Man Standing. It will be Nelson’s 73rd solo album.
It’s due on April 27, two days before his 85th birthday.
The album’s title track is an upbeat country song.
“I don’t want to be the last man standing,” he sings. “Wait a minute, maybe I do / If you don’t mind, I’ll start a new line / Decide after thinking it through.”
Nelson reunites with Buddy Canyon, who co-wrote seven songs on last year’s God’s Problem Child.
Canyon and Nelson are listed as co-songwriters on all 11 tracks.
