What The Reviewers Say

Dave Shiflett,
Wall Street Journal
Willie Nelson’s Letters to America, is a mix of mash notes, fond memories, a hill-country homily or two, and some world-class examples of filler material, including this gem, one of a series of gag-worthy jokes.
Edith G. Tolchin,
New York Journal of Books
Partly autobiographical, often funny, and entirely insightful from a cannabis-loving man who’s fully experienced every one of his 88 years, Willie Nelson’s Letters to America is a beautiful read for all..

Kirkus
An epistolary grab bag of memories, lyrics, jokes, and homespun philosophy from the legendary musician.
