Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June. Bonnaroo brings together some of the best performers in rock and roll, along with dozens of artists in complementary styles such as jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, and just about any contemporary music you can think of. In addition to dozens of epic performances, the festival's 100-acre entertainment village buzzes around the clock with attractions and activities including a classic arcade, on-site cinema, silent disco, comedy club, theater performers, a beer festival, and a music technology village. For its peaceful vibe, near-flawless logistics, and unrivaled entertainment options, Rolling Stone magazine named this revolutionary entertainment experience one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll.

If ever the words "living legend" were more than just public relations bluster, the application would be to Willie Hugh Nelson.The iconic Texan is the creative genius behind historic recordings like "Crazy," "Hello Walls," â€œRed Headed Strangerâ€ and â€œStardust.â€ His career has spanned six decades. His catalog boasts more than 200 albums. He's earned every conceivable award and honor to be bestowed a person in his profession. He has also amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor and activist.

In many ways, however, the weighty distinction "living legend" does Nelson a disservice, for it discounts the extent to which he is a thriving, relevant and progressive musical force in the year 2004. He has released two new albums, recently embarked on an imaginative tour with a fellow musical icon, again headlined Farm Aid, has established himself as a top television ratings draw, has a recent No. 1 single and a Super Bowl performance under his belt.Most importantly, Nelson's music is as adventurous as ever-mixing sounds and styles, bending genre boundaries and engendering the talents of today's most vibrant artists. The September release of Outlaws & Angels perfectly expresses Nelson's expansiveness.

Recorded during the USA Network cable special by the same name, the album features performances with Toby Keith, Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Kid Rock, Carole King, Jerry Lee Lewis and Keith Richards among others.The prolific Nelson follows that album with the October release of It Always Will Be, his first full studio album since 2002's The Great Divide. The disc features duets with Paula Nelson, Norah Jones and Lucinda Williams, as well as a cover of Toby Keith's "Tired" that Rolling Stone calls "heartbreaking." Nelson again proves his propensity for taking chances and, as always, meeting those challenges in a manner that appears deceptively effortless.
