In this episode, Jimmy takes you on a winding ride through the life and legend of Willie Nelson — from his humble beginnings in Abbott, Texas, to his reign as the red-braided outlaw poet of country music.

Packed with wild backstories, behind-the-scenes tales, and the songs that changed the genre forever, this episode explores Willie’s rise as a songwriter, his Outlaw Country revolution, his Hollywood adventures, IRS battles, cannabis crusades, and his enduring legacy.

Equal parts funny, heartfelt, and downright unbelievable, this is the definitive story of a man who never just played the game — he rewrote the rules.
