WILLIE NELSON | 88

Willie Nelson is one of the most beloved artists of the late 70s and early 80s. He not only strived in the music scene but he also made a huge accomplishment as an author, actor, poet and activist. His albums, Shotgun Willie and Red Headed Strangers were some of the most commercially successful albums of his time. He is one of the most popular country singers, a guitarist, and a talented artist.

Nelson’s performances are always top-notch because it features unique sounds that relaxed many listeners. The singing style he used with his gut-string guitar showcase many of his extraordinary talents and different elements. However, things started going south when his weak investments took its toll. His situation got worse when the IRS stepped in and claimed a whopping $32 million worth of taxes that were not yet settled. Good thing he was able to bounce back from his financial crisis.
