In a 2025 New Yorker profile of Nelson, Dylan offered high praise: “It’s hard to talk about Willie without saying something stupid or irrelevant, he is so much of everything... He’s like the invisible air. He’s high and low. He’s in harmony with nature. And that’s what makes him Willie.” Ahead of the release, Nelson starts a short US tour on April 22.
