Lyrics.

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

Ray Charles- Leon Russell- Willie Nelson - A Song For You


From the DVD "Willie Nelson and Friends - Live & Kickin", it was Willie Nelson's 70th birthday party at New York City's famed Beacon Theatre on April 9, 2003. Leon and Willie take a verse, of this Leon Russell original, and let Ray finish it up, as only Ray (one-take) could. He died not long after this. Thanks Ray

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain lyrics

In the twilight glow I seen her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Willie Nelson - Things to remember-TEXAS - USA


Willie Nelson - Things to remember / Willie Nelson (1933- ), cantante country, guitarrista y compositor estadounidense. Nació en Abbott, Texas, y estudió en la universidad de Baylor. Hasta finales de la década de 1950 Nelson se limitó a vender sus canciones a otros intérpretes, pero en 1962 comenzó a interpretarlas en Nashville, Tennessee. Su álbum Shotgun Willie (1973) le proporcionó gran popularidad en Estados Unidos. Otros álbumes suyos son The Troublemaker (1976), City of New Orleans (1984) y The Promised Land (1986). Nelson ha actuado en varias películas y series televisivas; entre las primeras, El jinete eléctrico (1979, Sydney Pollack) y Ladrón (1981, Michael Mann).

A principios de la década de 1990 grabó el álbum doble Who'll Buy My Memories?: The IRS Tapes (1991) y Waylon and Willie: If I Can Find a Clean Shirt (1991), en colaboración con Waylon Jennings, con el que también ha grabado Old Friends (1991) y Outlaw Reunion (1993). Su siguiente álbum, Across the borderline, volvió a situar su nombre en las listas de éxitos. Durante la segunda mitad de la década de 1990 esta leyenda del country siguió publicando discos. Su última entrega, del año 2001, fue The Rainbow Connection.

Willie Nelson ha cantado con Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, Dolly Parton, Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Dylan, David Crosby y Paul Simon, entre otros.


Willie Nelson (born Willie Hugh Nelson, April 30, 1933) is an American entertainer and songwriter, born and raised in Abbott, Texas. He reached his greatest fame during the so-called "outlaw country" movement of the 1970s.

Willie Nelson - Bloody Mary Morning


Artist/Band: Nelson Willie
Lyrics for Song: Bloody Mary Morning
Lyrics for Album: Essential Willie Nelson

It's a Bloody Mary morning,
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway
With the smog and haze
Reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real

All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary mornin'
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a Bloody Mary morning...

Our golden jet is airborn
And flight Fifty cuts a path
Across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes on the speaker
Reassuring us flight Fifty
Is the way to fly

And a hostess takes our order
Coffee tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary morning
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a bloody mary morning...

Willie Nelson - Stay All Night (Stay a Little Longer)



31 de diciembre de 1984.Willie y Familia con un tema de Bob Wills y Tommy Duncan que Willie incluyó en su segundo álbum,"Shotgun Willie"(1973).

Willie Nelson De los años 80 a la actualidad

Durante los 80 publicó una serie de singles de éxito: "Always on My Mind" (tema antes popularizado por Elvis Presley), "On the Road Again", de la película Honeysuckle Rose y "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", un dúo con Julio Iglesias que obtuvo notable éxito y ayudó a impulsar la carrera de Julio en EE.UU.. También editó algunos álbumes más populares, como Pancho and Lefty (1982, en colaboración con Merle Haggard), WWII (1982, con Waylon Jennings) y Take it to the Limit (1983, también con Jennings).

A mediados de la década, Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson y Johnny Cash formaron un grupo llamado The Highwaymen, que tuvo un éxito inesperado, con ventas masivas y giras mundiales. Por la misma época, se implicó en obras de caridad, como la creación de los conciertos Farm Aid, en 1985.

En 2004 grabó un tema de Bob Dylan, "He was a friend of mine", para la BSO de la multipremiada película "Brokeback Mountain"; dicha grabación ha de tomarse como muy audaz por sus connotaciones gay, ya que por contexto, la "amistad" descrita en la letra adopta el componente amoroso de la película.

Willie Nelson Carrera como actor

Nelson empezó también una carrera como actor. Apareció en El jinete eléctrico (1979), y fue el protagonista de varias producciones, como Honeysuckle Rose (1980), Barbarosa (1982), Red-Headed Stranger (1986, con Morgan Fairchild), Wag the Dog (1997), Gone Fishin (1997), en el papel de Billy 'Catch' Pooler, y el telefilme de 1986Stagecoach (junto a Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings y Kris Kristofferson, con quienes formaría un grupo llamado The Highwaymen). Después de esto, Nelson ha continuado trabajando como actor, pero generalmente solo en pequeños papeles y cameos, como en Half Baked, película en la que interpreta a un anciano "fumador histórico" que, mientras fuma marihuana, recerda lo que solía hacer en su juventud; apareció también en la película de 2006 Beerfest, en el que busca compañeros de equipo para un imaginario campeonato del mundo de fumadores de marihuana que tiene lugar en Amsterdam. Ha hecho también apariciones como estrella invitada en varias series de televisión, como Corrupción en Miami, Delta, Nash Bridges, Los Simpson, Monk and El rey de la colina. Interpretó a "tío Jesse" en la película The Dukes of Hazzard, versión cinematográfica de una serie de televisión, y retomó el papel para la segunda parte de la película, The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning (2007).

Willie Nelson y el Outlaw Country

Con Atlantic Records, Nelson grabó Shotgun Willie (1973), muy bien recibido por la crítica, pero escasamente vendido. Phases and Stages (1974), un álbum conceptual inspirado por su divorcio, incluía el éxito "Bloody Mary Morning." Más tarde fichó por Columbia Records, donde se le dio pleno control creativo sobre su obra. El resultado fue un álbum inmensamente popular y unánimemente aclamado por la crítica, Red Headed Stranger (1975). Aunque Columbia puso al principio dificultades para editar un disco con una guitarra y un piano por todo acompañamiento, Nelson insistió (con ayuda de Waylon Jennings) y el álbum fue un gran éxito, en parte a causa de la inclusión en él de una popular versión del tema "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" (compuesto por Fred Rose en 1945).

Junto a with Nelson, Waylon Jennings alcanzó también un gran éxito en el mundo del country a comienzos de los 70, y pronto se acuñó la etiqueta outlaw country para definir el tipo de música que ambos practicaban. El término "outlaw" ("proscrito") hacía referencia a que su música no se ajustaba a los cánones de Nashville. Esta imagen de proscrito de Nelson se afianzó con su siguiente álbum, Wanted: The Outlaws! (1976, junto a Waylon Jennings,jessie jennings Tompall Glaser), el primer álbum country en convertirse en disco de platino. Nelson continuó copando las listas con canciones de éxito durante la segunda mitad de la década. Entre estos éxitos destacan "Good Hearted Woman" (a dúo con Jennings), "Remember Me", "If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time", "Uncloudy Day", "I Love You a Thousand Ways" y "Something to Brag About" (dúo con Mary Kay Place).

En 1978, Nelson grabó dos nuevos álbumes que serían también discos de platino: Waylon and Willie (una colaboración con Jennings que incluye una de las canciones más características de este último, "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys") y Stardust, un inusual disco de standards interpretados a la guitarra, producido por Booker T. Jones. Aunque la mayor parte de los críticos predijeron que Stardust acabaría con su carrera musical, terminó siendo una de sus más exitosas grabaciones.

SUS COMIENZOS............

Cherokee Cowboys "Silver Lake Blues" -


Cuando Ray Price grabó su tema "Night Life" (tal vez la canción country más veces versioneada), se unió al grupo de Price para su gira como bajista. Mientras tocaba con Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys, muchas de las canciones de Nelson fueron éxitos en las voces de otros intérpretes country, entre ellas "Funny How Time Slips Away" (interpretada por Billy Walker), "Hello Walls" (por Faron Young), "Pretty Paper" (por Roy Orbison) y, sobre todo, "Crazy" (por Patsy Cline). Firmó por Liberty Records en 1961 y editó varios singles, entre ellos "Willingly" (con su esposa, Shirley Collie) y "Touch Me."

Willie Nelson algo más

Austin


En 1965, Nelson fue contratado por RCA Victor Records y se unió al Grand Ole Opry. Siguieron una serie de éxitos menores. Decepcionado por el negocio musical, que trataba de ahormar su impulso creativo, se retiró a la ciudad de Austin, en Texas. Pronto se vio envuelto en los ambientes musicales hippies (ver Armadillo World Headquarters) y decidió regresar a la música. En Austin alcanzó gran popularidad, ya que interpretaba un estilo de country muy personal, con influencias del rock and roll, el jazz, el western swing y el folk.

Willie Nelson- Escritor de canciones

Escritor de canciones

Se trasladó al estado de Tennessee, pero no logró ningún contrato discográfico, aunque sí un contrato publicitario con Pamper Music. Cuando Ray Price grabó su tema "Night Life" (tal vez la canción country más veces versioneada), se unió al grupo de Price para su gira como bajista. Mientras tocaba con Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys, muchas de las canciones de Nelson fueron éxitos en las voces de otros intérpretes country, entre ellas "Funny How Time Slips Away" (interpretada por Billy Walker), "Hello Walls" (por Faron Young), "Pretty Paper" (por Roy Orbison) y, sobre todo, "Crazy" (por Patsy Cline). Firmó por Liberty Records en 1961 y editó varios singles, entre ellos "Willingly" (con su esposa, Shirley Collie) y "Touch Me."

Tampoco entonces fue capaz de iniciar una sólida carrera musical. Sus grabaciones de la época durante la que fue compositor para Pamper Music fueron posteriormente editadas como Crazy: The Demo Sessions (2003). Su vida personal durante este período fue bastante agitada, por decirlo suavemente. Tuvo problemas de alcoholismo, faltó varias veces a su trabajo y fue condenado por tenencia de armas.

Willie Hugh Nelson (Abbott, Texas, 30 de abril de 1933) es un compositor, letrista, cantante y guitarrista estadounidense de música country, que se hizo célebre como representante del llamado movimiento "outlaw country" durante los años 70.

Comienzos

Tras el divorcio de sus padres, Willie y su hermana Bobbie fueron educados por sus abuelos. Se interesaron muy pronto por la música, y, con otro amigo, llegaron a formar un grupo, los Bohemian Fiddlers, mientras Willie estudiaba todavía en el instituto. Acabados los estudios, se enroló en la Fuerza Aérea, pero tuvo que abandonarla por problemas de espalda. Asistió a clases durante un año en la Universidad de Baylor, pero abandonó los estudios y encontró trabajo pinchando música country en una emisora de Fort Worth, al tiempo que cantaba en bares honky-tonk. En 1956 se trasladó a Vancouver, en el estado de Washington, donde comenzó su carrera musical grabando el tema "Lumberjack", compuesto por Leon Payne. El single fue un éxito de ventas, pero Nelson no logró iniciar una sólida carrera musical, y continuó trabajando en la radio y cantando en clubes. Vendió, por cincuenta dólares, una canción compuesta por él, titulada "Family Bible", que fue un éxito en la versión de Claude Gray y desde entonces ha sido interpretada por numerosos músicos y es considerada un clásico del gospel.
