Catch Willie Nelson at 41 and 75, both this weekend
Need a satisfying way to spend your hours this weekend? KLRU has just the ticket.
The local PBS affiliate will air the long-awaited Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel “Austin City Limits” episode tomorrow at 7 p.m. The country legends teamed up for February’s “Willie and the Wheel,” a toe-tapping tribute to Western swing. The episode was filmed Feb. 23.
Below, check out a preview from the episode, a peppy take on swing standard “Hesitation Blues.” And when you’re done with that, surf on over to PBS Video, where the original 1974 pilot episode of “Austin City Limits” featuring Nelson is currently streaming. The episode will be available online until Tuesday.
Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel are on tour at the moment, but will be swinging back through Austin to close their current set of dates on Dec. 15 at the Austin Music Hall.
