Willie Nelson – Hit Medley
An evening pause: Performed live in 1965. This Willie Nelson performance shows him in his early days, before the beard and long hair and cowboy persona. His voice has also not mellowed into what would later become a truly unique sound.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.

Willie Nelson – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
An evening pause: Performed live in 1980, around the time that Nelson, who had been working in relative obscurity for years, had suddenly been “noticed”.
Hat tip t-dub for reminding me that Nelson deserved more notice, again.
