Willie Nelson Tours, Sun Rises In East

Willie Nelson continues his ambitious touring schedule this spring with two months of dates in theatres, halls and casinos in the East, Southwest and Midwest before heading to Europe in June.

Nelson appears on the upcoming ''The I-10 Chronicles'' (Backporch Records), a collection of road songs performed by various artists. The album will be released on March 28.

Nelson's latest album, ''Night & Day,'' features all-instrumental, laid-back, country-swing versions of jazz standards such as the title cut, ''Vous et Moi'' and ''All the Things You Are.'' Fans can listen to complete tracks of the album by visiting broadcast.com.
