About the Song
Willie Nelson teamed up with his sons, Lukas and Micah Nelson, to release “Mind Your Own Business” on their collaborative album “Willie’s Stash, Vol. 2: Willie and The Boys” in 2017. This album includes covers of classic country hits, most of which were written by the legendary Hank Williams. The track is a lively, family-driven rendition of Williams’ 1949 classic, capturing the fun and spirit of traditional country music. The playful lyrics—“If you mind your own business, then you won’t be minding mine”—are delivered with a spirited tone, celebrating independence and privacy with a touch of humor.
The album, produced by Buddy Cannon, was recorded with a raw, authentic feel, giving listeners a glimpse into Nelson’s family dynamic and musical heritage. The vocal harmonies and acoustic-driven sound echo the classic country style that Willie Nelson has championed throughout his career. This album serves as both a tribute to classic country and a testament to Nelson’s ongoing influence in the genre, as he and his sons breathe new life into these timeless songs.
