{"title":"Willie Nelson","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, a Nashville bar near the Grand Ole Opry, Willie Nelson played Patsy Cline's husband a demo of 'Crazy'. She chose to record it, and while he toured as bassist in Ray Price's band, his songs became hits for Roy Orbison and Billy Walker too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose tunes grew from a wide-open ear. Raised by grandparents who taught singing, he performed gospel in church and worked Texas honky-tonks from 13, soaking up Hank Williams and Bob Wills alongside Django Reinhardt, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing weary of the industry's corporate side, he moved to Austin in 1972, where a hippie scene revived him. There his sound loosened into a blend laced with folk and jazz, making him a leading outlaw country figure on \u003cem\u003eShotgun Willie\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRed Headed Stranger\u003c\/em\u003e.
