This year, Nelson also continues his advocacy for cannabis, with his latest product line Willie’s Remedy+, a THC-infused beverage product line in collaboration with JuneShine Brands. A new Outlaw Music Festival Tour claymation, fully handmade promo video has been released. The Willie’s Remedy+ in-house creative team produced the video, and tapped Los Angeles-based artist Owen Summers to direct and shoot. It marks the brand’s second claymation release featuring Willie Nelson this year, and continues a growing body of work the team is actively building. The piece leans into the tactile, nostalgic qualities of clay sculpting, celebrating the imperfections and physical textures that define traditional stop-motion. Every character was sculpted by hand, every movement posed one frame at a time. The entire piece was shot on Kodak 16mm film, run through a lab, and scanned for its digital debut on social media. An analog pipeline from first frame to last. No CGI. No AI. The result carries the kind of texture and warmth that can only come from a process built entirely by human hands.

Willie’s Remedy+ has quickly taken over the THC drinks market, selling more than a quarter million bottles in less than one year since its March 2025 launch. It has become the #1 THC beverage online while also replicating that success at retail and wholesale in states where it has become available. To date, the brand has produced a Willie’s Remedy+ line including THC Infused Social Tonics, THC Infused Seltzers, and THC Infused Shots, all available in both 5mg and 10mg doses. Willie’s Remedy+ proudly sources only the finest natural ingredients grown in the USA by American farmers. One-percent of all sales directly benefit those farmers through Nelson’s own Farm Aid Foundation.

On September 26 Nelson will headline Farm Aid 2026 at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, VA. The full day of music, family farmers, HOMEGROWN food and agricultural experiences, will feature performances by Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young (& The Chrome Hearts), John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews (& Tim Reynolds), Margo Price and Nathaniel Rateliff, as well as Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, Mon Rovîa, I’m With Her, Amythyst Kiah, Lily Meola and Chris Pierce. For more information, go to www.FarmAid.org/2026

On May 29, Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, released Dream Chaser, the new studio album from Willie Nelson. Dream Chaser marks Willie Nelson’s 79th solo studio album and his 156th album overall, according to Texas Monthly’s interactive All Willie Nelson Albums Ranked. Dream Chaser is a brand-new release that brings together a collection of reflective, story-driven songs focused on relationships, personal growth, and life on the road. Rooted in classic songwriting traditions with a modern perspective, Dream Chaser balances intimate narratives with universal themes of perseverance, timing, and clarity.

Dream Chaser continues Willie Nelson’s long‑running creative partnership with producer and co‑writer Buddy Cannon, a collaboration that has yielded nearly 20 albums over the past 13 years. The two co-wrote 6 of the songs, half of which were written with the Nashville songwriter Bobby Tomberlin and one of which was co-written by one of Willie’s notable tour mates from 2025. In a 2025 GQ interview, Willie described the origin of “I Can’t Read Your Mind,” a rare Willie Nelson–Bob Dylan co‑write, explaining that Dylan brought him the idea – “I can’t read your mind,” and the pair continued with “the letters are too small”- before Willie passed along his to Cannon, who developed the song into its final form.

Two days prior to Nelson’s 93rd birthday (April 29), The New York Times Magazine named him one of The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters” They note, “What kind of songwriter isn’t Willie Nelson? For decades, he has occupied a place beyond genre and outside time, serving as something like an American musical unconscious. It’s a role that rests on Nelson’s genius as both a singer and a guitarist, and on his voracious musical appetite, his apparent desire to leave no song unsung — his originals, age-old folk ballads, Muppet movie songs, you name it.”
