In the wake of the wonderfully-received album of originals Last Man Standing earlier this year, the ever-prolific Willie Nelson is ready to announce his next project and it’s one incredibly close to his heart.
The album is entitled My Way and is an album of songs made famous by Frank Sinatra. Willie Nelson and Frank Sinatra are both defining avatars of American popular music. Hearing Willie’s freewheeling roadhouse rave-ups and Frank’s smoky, cosmopolitan songs, one may assume they sat on different sides of the fence - but they had an enduring friendship and great respect for each other's craft.
My Way, Willie Nelson’s new album, explores his admiration and connection to Sinatra’s art and artistry across 11 fresh, intoxicating takes on songs made famous by the Chairman of the Board. Recorded in the tradition of 1978’s legendary Stardust and 2016’s Grammy Award-winning Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin, My Way is a warm and personal nod from one icon to another.
