The Lumineers’ live version of “A Song For You” has now been added to Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 Live At The Hollywood Bowl, the definitive music release of the star-studded concerts celebrating Willie’s 90th Birthday. The concerts were recorded live on April 29 & 30, 2023 at the legendary venue celebrating the equally legendary Nelson’s 90th birthday. In December 2023 The Lumineers’ version of Willie’s “Pretty Paper” was included on the digital, 2CD+Blu-ray and 2xLP vinyl edition featuring select highlights from the event and now their previously unreleased rendition of “A Song For You” is available and added to the digital edition, which is now 54 songs.

Leon Russell wrote “A Song For You” and released it on his 1970 debut album. It had already been famously covered by the likes of Donny Hathaway and The Carpenters by the time Willie included a solo acoustic version on his 1973 classic album Shotgun Willie. Willie brought an even deeper intimacy to the pained plea of a song and made it his own, going on to perform it again in the 1980 movie Honeysuckle Rose. Nelson and Russell became good friends and collaborators, releasing a collaboration album in 1979 and performing together many times over the decades. The Lumineers’ successfully channel that intimacy in their moving rendition of the song, delivering a highlight of the two night celebration at the Hollywood Bowl.
