New book by Joe Nick Patoski

Local Texas writer Joe Nick Patoski’s new book, Willie Nelson: An Epic Life, came out this April and has been receiving rave reviews across the globe, from the New York Times to the UK music magazine MOJO and all points in between.

“An Epic Life comes aptly titled…. Mr. Patoski interviewed countless people close to Willie as well as the man himself, and his attention to detail is impeccable….We experience the heart of Willie Nelson.”
—Dallas Morning News

“A much-needed and well-told biography,…Nelson’s quiet determination and unwavering focus shine through the pages of this admirable biography…. He has lived a sprawling, uniquely American life, and it deserves an examination this comprehensive.”
—Alan Light, New York Times Book Review

Joe Nick has a slate of upcoming book signings and an interview on the Bob Edwards Show to air June 18th on XM 133.

Joe Nick interviewed Willie Nelson’s long-time harmonica player Mickey Rafael at SXSW this year. Watch the video here.
