Willie Nelson will release an album of all-new compositions on April 27, two days before his 85th birthday.

Produced and co-written by Buddy Cannon, the album is called Last Man Standing. You can watch a video for the title track below.

Earlier this year Nelson was forced to cancel several shows due to a bout of ill health, but he’s due to return to the stage next week for a postponed tour with Los Lonely Boys.
