Nelson released his 68th studio album My Way, a tribute to Frank Sinatra, in September.
The country star also recently collaborated with Van Morrison for an unnamed project.
Nelson made headlines in September when he performed at a rally for Texas Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke. The legendary performer sang new song "Vote 'Em Out," a tune that encouraged Americans to head to the polls on Election Day.
