Willie Nelson je americký country spevák, gitarista, skladateľ a herec. Bol jednou z hlavných postáv subžánru outlaw country, ktorý vznikol koncom 60. rokov ako reakcia na konzervatívne obmedzenia nashvillského zvuku. Kritický úspech albumu Shotgun Willie (1973) a následných albumov Red Headed Stranger (1975) a Stardust (1978) z neho urobil jednu z najvýznamnejších postáv v country hudbe.
Album Shotgun Willie vyšiel v roku 1973 a predstavuje prelom v Nelsonovej kariére. Limitovaná edícia k Record Store Day 2023 prináša farebný dvojvinyl s digitálne remasterovanou verziou pôvodného albumu a druhý vinyl s doteraz nevydanými outtakes a alternatívnymi verziami, medzi nimi Whiskey River, A Song for You alebo Devil In a Sleepin' Bag. K dispozícii je 5 500 kusov tohto zberateľského vydania.
