Willie Nelson has signed with Little, Brown and Company for a brand new memoir.

It won’t be Nelson’s first move into writing. His previous books include another memoir, Willie: An Autobiography, in 1988, The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes in 2002, The Tao of Willie: A Guide to the Happiness In Your Heart in 2006, On the Clean Road Again: Biodiesel and the Future of the Family Farm in 2007 and Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die: Musings From the Road in 2012.

Little, Brown has said that this memoir will be Nelson’s “unvarnished” story and will be published in 2015. Executive editor John Parsley said “Willie’s book will be authentic to the core and bursting with the stories, insight, and wild wit of this true American icon.”
