Willie Nelson turns 87 years old today. The "red-headed stranger" started making music in the 1950s then wrote hits for Patsy Cline and Ray Price in the '60s before becoming a superstar in the '70s. We're celebrating this morning with a set of his music, his collaborations, duets and others covering his songs. What would you like to hear? We'll spin a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

Willie Nelson "I Never Cared for You"

Willie Nelson featuring Lukas Nelson "Just Breathe"

Patsy Cline "Crazy"
