The Border is a brand new studio album out May 31 that captures 10 newly recorded Willie Nelson studio performances including four new Willie Nelson/Buddy Cannon compositions. The Border will be available digitally, on CD and black vinyl. Meanwhile Barnes & Noble will be offering an exclusive LP edition of The Border, pressed on orange vinyl and there will be an exclusive vinyl version offered on Willie’s D2C store that includes a 12” x 12” designed lyric book featuring the gorgeous album artwork with extensive listening notes by noted writer Mikal Gilmore and photos by Pamela Springsteen.
The title track and first single was co-written by Rodney Crowell and Allen Shamblin and appeared on Crowell's 2019 Texas album and describes the inner life and outer reality of a border guard ("I work on the border, I see what I see") with Crowell's composition described in Rolling Stone as "more humanist than political, but no less tragic because of it." Willie's wise worldly take on the provocative song taps into an urgent universal relevancy that defines the album.

From a retired Border Patrol Agent, this is beautiful. Thanks!
-
My father toured with Willie for years as his live sound technician. Willie was the best man at my dad's wedding. In fact, Willie and his band were the only people who atteneded since my parents got married while Willie was touring in Key West. I admire this man because of how much my dad admires him. Excited to send this song to him today.

If you listen to the lyrics it talks about both struggles of the immigrant and border patrol. That is the beauty of art to be able to see both sides and FEEL!

I a 71 year ol Aussie been listening to Willie since I was 9 years young. I got to meet him Brisbane Australia I think it was mid 1990s I wore a red bandanna to the concert he threw all his bandannas into the audience he gave the one he was wearing to a child sitting in the front row they were beside me . A song or two later I took my bandanna off walked a few steps and handed it to Willie he got down on his knee we shook hands and he put my Bandanna on . Life is full of surprises and events I would not have dreamed that would happen when I was 9 years old. To the greatest Country Singer of all time

A national treasure! The good don't always die young...

I have met Willie one time and seen him in concert 3 times. My father got me hooked on Willie Nelson in the 70s. He had many of his 8 tracks but Stardust was his favorites. Willie is older than my father and my father is gone now😢 and Willie continues to crank out outstanding hits! He is one amazing man!
-
Our government tried to crush him. He's still here. A true American Outlaw.❤

I am a 74 year old woman, a native Texan, I love my state , my country and the Lord Jesus Christ. This song broke my heart. ❤️ Thank you Willie for having eyes to see.
