Willie Nelson And Sons Offer Great Advice With 'Turn Off The News And Build A Garden'

Legendary country singer Willie Nelson and sons, Lukas and Micah, sit down for an inspiring performance of ‘Turn Off The News And Build a Garden.’

As COVID-19 forces many people to remain in their homes, it can cause a lot of fear and anxiety. The message of this song reminds us all that there is still good all around us.

“Turn off the news and build a garden

Just my neighborhood and me

We might feel a bit less hardened

We might feel a bit more free”

Now, he’s a successful artist with a band of his own and the incredible talent to back it all up. And what a treat to hear him perform with his talented family!

Hope that they can see”
