He\u2019s released 78 solo albums going all the way back to 1962, and he\u2019s logged more days on the road than just about any other musician in history. But he\u2019s not done yet. Nelson plays his first show of 2026 Thursday evening at the Luck Reunion in Spicewood, Texas, and he\u2019s just announced his 79th LP, <em>Dream Chaser<\/em>, which is landing May 29.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe leadoff single \u201cDream Chaser\u201d is available right now. Nelson co-wrote the acoustic country ballad with Buddy Cannon, and Bobby Tomberlin.
