Today's Morning Edition music is from Willie Nelson with "Still Not Dead," a track from his brand new album "God's Problem Child."

Willie is indeed alive and well. He celebrated his 84th birthday on Saturday with a performance at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival.

In its review of the new album, Rolling Stone writes: "Old age has sharpened Nelson's focus as a songwriter, providing him with renewed purpose as a lyricist and heightened vulnerability as a vocalist."

Nelson is headed back to Minnesota. He'll be performing at Treasure Island Casino on June 9.
