The Red Headed Stranger has inked a new long-term deal with Sony Music, current owner of Columbia Records, Nelson’s label for almost 20 years beginning in 1975. The agreement calls for the singer to release five cheap nba jerseys new albums, beginning with a new studio set this spring, and to re-release his older archival material through Sony’s Legacy Recordings arm. The deal — which is likely to result in new collections of previously unreleased material as well as provide bonus cuts on re-releases of album’s from Nelson’s back catalog — will cover all phases of Nelson’s 60-year recording career. “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,” said Nelson in a statement. “We share a great history, and I’m looking forward to many more years together.” Nelson released some of his most well-regarded works while under contract with Columbia, including 1975′s “Red Headed Stranger,” 1978′s “Stardust,” and 1982′s “Always on My Mind.” His last platinum-selling album, 1984′s “City of New Orleans,” was released on Columbia. Nelson’s most recent set, “Remember nfl headset Me Vol. 1,” surfaced last year on R&J Records. Nelson worked with producer James Stroud to select and record 14 country music hits from the last 70 years. It followed 2010′s “Country Music,” which employed a similar formula, that time with producer T-Bone Burnett as Nelson’s musical accomplice. Meanwhile, Nelson’s never-ending tour continues unabated. His tour bus can currently be found rolling through Florida.
