The May 2008 cover of Texas Monthly features Willie, solemn - with not a single cover line to interrupt - at seventy-five years young. His appearance on the cover marks the seventh time in 35 years that the iconic singer has appeared on the cover of the magazine. “Young and old, hip and square, city and country, liberal and conservative, black, brown, and white admire him and love him, want to read about him and look at pictures of him,” says editor Evan Smith. So, it should not be a surprise that nearly three out of every four copies of Texas Monthly, the ones that Willie has adorned, going all the way back to the first in 1976, are sold. This issue an intimate look and a true salute to the Willie we all love!
