As previously reported, Willie Nelson is rallying behind the Occupy Wall Street protests. While many country artists have kept mum about their thoughts on the movement, Nelson posted a video in October of him and his wife reciting a poem they wrote in favor of Occupy.
Now, hes joining forces with other famous musicians who share his stance on the topic by contributing to the album Occupy This Album: A Compilation of Music By, For and Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the 99%. The album is expected to release in the spring.

I’ve been a Willie fan forever and loved his outlaw stance......that being said I think the weed has gone to his head.
ROTFL! Poor Willie. The ONLY thing he has in common with the OWieS is that he smokes marijuana. This is proof that he has probably smoked one too many joints. Willie. I’ve always been a big country music fan. YOU are overrated.
Will the album be given away free? If we have to pay for it, it’s just more exploitative corporate jive for the 1%, man.
Occupy This Album: A Compilation of Music By, For and Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the 99%.
Soon to be available in Thrift stores across the nation.
Willie Nelson is proof that drugs really do destroy brain cells
I’m not all that big of a Willie fan, but I’m sure Willie can still hit the road in his tour bus and fill Luckenbach, or any venue in that nation and will still be welcome by his fans.
By the way, are you a resident of Luckenbach?
Your right but his song “on the road again” is still one of my favorites.....
Willie Nelson sucks, his music sucks and his politics suck.
OWS has the best weed.
Willie has written some of the greatest Country songs of all time; “Hello Walls,” “Crazy,” “Funny How Time Slips Away,” etc., but I think all of the pot has gone to his head.
also can be found in the Dollar stores across the country...after they don’t sell there, its the dumpster. I think they may make good scare a crows blowing in the wind...:O)
Willie had a gig in a Western town a few years back. He went on stage so drunk or stoned, and senile he could not remember his own songs.
I cut him a break.
Dude? It's not going to be free?
Bummer!
Yeah whatever. Willie, go spike a tree or smoke a joint for your drug buddies.
Turn out the lights.
Just about the time that big city libtards in places like Oakland have had enough of the noise, smell and vandalism, tax evader Willy Nelson crawls onto the OWS bandwagon. Apparently, he is too stoned to understand that OWS wants to come down HARD on rich people who don’t pay enough taxes. That would include him. You just can’t make this crap up.
