Ty Myers Willie Nelson Tribute Album: Two Braids & The Truth

He may be young, but Ty Myers packs a punch and knows his country music. With only two studio albums to his name, the up-and-coming country phenom recently released a Willie Nelson tribute album, Two Braids & The Truth. The 11-song selection includes a duet cover of Write Your Own Songs with the legend himself, Willie Nelson. You can listen to the track below. He also includes a beautiful duet cover of "Always On My Mind" with Carter Faith. Personally, I really hope to hear at least one of these covers when he brings his The Legal Tour to the Ford Center this weekend! Tickets are still available here!

Register for Ty Myers Pit Passes

Ty Myers has been kicking butt and taking names since before he turned 18, and The Legal Tour is no exception. Having grown up on his family's cattle ranch in Austin, Texas, Myers is truly a Texas cowboy. In fact, his family's farm has been around for six generations of Myers. That's saying something in Texas! However, ranching isn't exactly songwriting, right? He gets that talent honestly, as his father is a singer-songwriter, and he's also related to some other pretty talented musicians. One of his uncles is Dean Sams of Lonestar, and he's also related to George Strait's piano player, Ronnie Huckaby. We have your chance to win Pit tickets for the October 23 show at the Ford Center; simply complete the registration form below. The deadline for entry is Thursday at 10:00 pm CST. The winner will be contacted before noon the day of the concert, and if contact can not be made, another winner will be selected. All Townsquare Media contest rules apply. 

30 Pictures of a Young Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson began his music career in the late 1960s. Back then he wasn't the typical country artist from Nashville — he was considered an outlaw.

Take a look back to his early years, and see photos of a young Willie Nelson that you may have ever seen before.
