He is widely regarded as a legendary figure in the music industry and has made significant contributions to the country genre. With a career spanning several decades, Nelson has established himself as one of the most influential artists of his time.

Nelson's musical talent runs in the family, with his children Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson also pursuing careers in music. Additionally, he is the brother of fellow musician [a519741]. Throughout his life, Nelson has been married twice; from 1952 to 1962 to [a7838791], and from 1963 to 1971 to [a1557627].

Having established his own record label called [l1162501], Willie Nelson has not only achieved great success as a performer but also as a businessman within the music industry.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Nelson's concept album narrating the story of a couple's divorce, with side one exploring the situation from the woman's perspective, and side two looking at it from the man's.&nbsp;Nelson has shared over the years that the songs reflect universal accounts of grief and heartbreak and are not autobiographical. It was also one of the first Nelson albums to feature his own band, and the second Willie Nelson release on Atlantic. Originally recorded in 1972 at Muscle Shoals in Alabama, Nelson and his band revisited it in the studio in Nashville and released it in 1974.&nbsp;
