Country music legend and American treasure Willie Nelson has just announced that he is almost finished with the recording of his new album and that he plans a world tour in early 2008.
The album, entitled I Traded My Stetson For An Ugly Plaid Hat, reportedly will be in a dual disc format and will contain twenty-two songs. While most of the tunes are originals, written by Nelson himself, the album will also feature a cover of Ricky Martin's hit single Livin' La Vida Loco. Nelson also covers the Beatles classic Taxman, which is particularly poignant, considering his own experiences with the Internal Revenue Service.
