Sony catalogue division signs Willie Nelson
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 3 February 2012
Sony’s catalogue division Legacy Recordings announced an interesting new deal with country legend Willie Nelson earlier this week which will see both new albums and archive packages being released.
Nelson previously worked with both RCA and Columbia, both now within the Sony Music empire, before his most recent label partnership with Universal’s Lost Highway. The new deal will see Nelson release brand new albums as well as curating re-release packages.
Says Nelson of the new deal: “I’m really happy to be back home with Sony Music. We have been partners for many years; all the way back to ‘Pamper’ and ‘Tree Music’. We share a great history, and I’m looking forward to many more years together”.
Legacy Recordings GM Adam Block added: “We couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to work with Willie on this landmark partnership. There’s a natural and organic relationship between new recording projects and catalogue activity that promises to ensure the lasting importance of Willie and his music”.
