Siblings Willie And Bobbie Nelson To Release Dual Memoir
Willie Nelson, along with his sister and family band member Bobbie Nelson, will share a memoir centering on their lifelong bond, titled Me And Sister Bobbie: True Tales of the Family Band.
The book, set to publish Sept. 15 via Random House, shares the siblings’ story of being abandoned by their parents as young children and their resulting tight-knit, eight-decade bond. The dual memoir, told in alternating chapters, shares recollections of their personal lives and careers. Bobbie, a pianist and singer, joined Nelson’s band in the ’70s, and has collaborated with Willie on albums of gospel music, including I’d Rather Have Jesus (1986), Gospel: Old Time Religion (1992), How Great Thou Art (1996), and Farther Along: The Gospel Collection (2013). In 2008, she released her own album, Audiobiography.
Additionally, a picture book from Willie and Bobbie, penned with Chris Barton and tentatively titled Sister, Brother, Family: Our Childhood in Music, is set to released in Fall 2021. The book will be edited by Frances Gilbert, Editor-in-Chief of Doubleday Books for Young Readers.
