Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Celebration

Matt Roush says...

High on life and music for 90 years, America’s favorite troubadour Willie Nelson marks his 90^th year with an all-star celebration filmed over two nights in April at the equally legendary Hollywood Bowl. Even the show’s hosts are wonderfully varied: Jennifer Garner, Chelsea Handler, Woody Harrelson, Ethan Hawke, Helen Mirren and Owen Wilson. And then there’s the musical talent, some 45 stars collaborating with Wilson or paying tribute in song. Highlights include Sheryl Crow’s duet with Willie on “Far Away Places,” CMA Male Vocalist of the Year Chris Stapleton’s rendition of “Always on My Mind,” a crowd sing-along with Miranda Lambert on “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” and appearances by Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews, Beck, Gray Clark Jr., Norah Jones, George Strait, Keith Richards and his sons Lukas and Micah Nelson.
