  • About this album: Bobbie Nelson, sister and collaborator to Willie Nelson, died in Austin, Texas, on March 10, 2022, at the age of 91. Before then, Bobbie Nelson completed this collaboration with Amanda Shires. The album features songs Nelson and Shires played and treasured their entire lives – a few of Nelson’s favorites along with her own solo piano title cut. Nelson and Shires reimagine 10 classic tunes, including Dream a Little Dream of Me, Over the Rainbow, and Summertime. Shires said the album was a way to honor and pay respect to Nelson, who had served as one of her inspirations. A fitting final tribute to the formidable legacy of Sister Bobbie.
