Last year, Willie Nelson celebrated his 90th birthday with a massive two-day concert event at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. More than 50 artists flocked to the venue to perform in honor of the country music icon. Later in the year, Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 hit shelves and streaming services. The release captured some of the biggest highlights of the night. Now, fans are getting a second look at the big event.

Last week, Nelson took to Twitter to announce that the second volume of Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 will be out later this year. It will be released exclusively on black vinyl in a double LP set. Fittingly, the new collection drops on April 20, days before Nelson’s 91st birthday.
Long Story Short will be released as part of Record Store Day this year. As a result, it will be available at several online music retailers. Additionally, it should appear on the shelves of local record stores across the country.
More About Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90 Vol. II
Long Story Short originally dropped in several formats including vinyl, CD, and streaming. The CD collection contained 39 tracks while the initial double LP only featured highlights from the event. The streaming version of the release, though, contained 53 tracks and clocked in at more than three hours of killer music.
The upcoming vinyl release will likely feature songs that were present on the CD or streaming version that didn’t make the first pressing. At this time, the tracklist for the new volume is not available. However, the double LP’s description notes that it will contain 19 performances.
According to the release’s description, it will contain performances from a long list of artists from a variety of genres.
