The No. 1 takeaway from the Willie: Life & Songs Of An American Outlaw tribute concert is that Willie Nelson<\/a> treats everyone like family.<\/p>\n

On the red carpet before Saturday\u2019s (Jan. 12) event at Nashville\u2019s Bridgestone Arena, Margo Price told reporters Nelson always tells her a new joke whenever they\u2019re together. Lyle Lovett said he believes Nelson\u2019s classic songs will forever be part of the human consciousness, but it\u2019s his humanity that will be his resounding legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWillie Nelson has written classic songs that will always endure,\u201d Lovett said. \u201cI think even more than this music, Willie is known for his humanity. There\u2019s something about being in the same room with Willie, there\u2019s a feeling from him that just makes everybody feel better. He\u2019s such a powerful person. I don\u2019t know what it is. It\u2019s an almost mystical feeling. And he brings that to his music.\u201d<\/p>\n
