Relax this 4/20 with a stream of Willie Nelson’s latest album
Willie Nelson’s public persona is a fascinating paradox: He’s both one of the elder statesmen of classic country, still capable of tossing out lively, instantly listenable anthems, apparently on a whim, and also one of America’s top-tier pot-smoking weed men. Given that it’s 4/20, the national holiday for medicinally blissed-out tokers, you might expect Nelson’s new offering, God’s Problem Child, to indulge in that hazier side of his soul. Instead, it’s pure country, although that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Nelson’s legacy by streaming the album today via NPR.
