Willie Nelson & Jack White Featured in Third Man Records Vault Package #17

Third Man Records is proud to announce the latest Vault Platinum Package. One of the highlights of this year at Third Man (so far) has been the esteemed honor of hosting country music legend Willie Nelson here at Third Man to celebrate his 80th birthday. On April 18th of this year Willie played a concert with some guest musicians, among them real life legacy artists, but also importantly, some handpicked sidemen from the house of Third Man. This special performance for CMTs prestigious Crossroads TV show was all caught and camera and broadcast. Behind the scenes, Third Man was rolling tape on that historic show (as is their way) and every song (even those non-broadcast) was captured on beautiful, warm-sounding analog tape by our crack team of engineers. It was in many respects a perfect evening.

We are therefore very proud to present one of the most heartwarming, intimate, and downright legendary shows we’ve ever had the pleasure of hosting. We owe a big thank you to Mr. Willie Nelson and all of the amazing artists involved for the opportunity for us to present to you… The Vault Platinum Package #17.
