Country music icon Willie Nelson rolls into Morongo Casino for a one-night stand at 9 p.m. Jan. 23.

Nelson penned hits for Ray Price (“Night Life”), Patsy Cline (“Crazy”) and Billy Walker (“Funny How Time Slips Away”), before cementing his place in country music by pairing with fellow cowboy outlaw Waylon Jennings.

Nelson's library includes genres from Western swing to American standards, rock 'n' roll to traditional country and everything in between.

His hits include “Good Hearted Woman,” “Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” “Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain,” “On the Road Again,” and a cover of Elvis Presley's “Always on My Mind.”

Tickets for the concert start at $35 and are available through the casino box office, by phone or online at Ticketmaster. The concert is open to fans 17 and older only.

Morongo Casino is located at 49500 Seminole Road, Cabazon. Tickets: (800) 252-4499; ticketmaster.com or morongocasinoresort.com
