In 1990, the IRS seized Willie Nelson’s assets, including guitars and records, over a colossal $16 million debt. Unbroken, Nelson famously joked, "Guess I better make another record." He released The IRS Tapes, urging fans to buy it to pay off the debt with his voice. He settled the entire debt in three years. Having defied Nashville's criticism, Nelson founded Outlaw Country. At 91, he still tours, proving that true legends are forged through resilience and lasting art.
