On October 31, Lost Highway will release Songbird, the new album from the legendary Willie Nelson. Songbird was produced by Ryan Adams and recorded with Adams and The Cardinals on all 11 tracks, along with Nelson’s longtime harmonica master Mickey Raphael.

Songbird includes a diverse range of covers, including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, Gram Parsons’ “$1000 Wedding”, Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter’s “Stella Blue” and the gorgeous title track written by Christine McVie, which originally appeared on Fleetwood Mac’s landmark album Rumours. Nelson and Adams each penned a new song specifically for Songbird.
