Willie Nelson has been putting his stories to music (with his guitar, Trigger) for more than 60 years—and now he’s put his stories to the page, in his just-released memoir It’s a Long Story. We sat down for a few minutes with the country-music legend before he signed copies before an excited audience of fans at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in New York City.
You’ve been telling stories for years through song, and now a book. What’s your best advice for telling a good story?
I would be the last one to give advice on anything.
But you’re a gifted storyteller! How do you do it?
Well it’s different selling a big, heavy book like this one, than writing a song.
How is it different?
With the book, I had a lot of good help. David (my co-writer) would ask me questions and did a good job taking what I said and making it sound half right.
You walk into a big, beautiful Barnes & Noble like this one. Which section do you head to first?
I like adventure and action books.
If we started a Willie Nelson book club, which book would you choose to make everyone read?
God’s Little Acre, by Erskine Caldwell.
