Willie Nelson My Way (LP)In the wake of the wonderfully-received album of originals Last Man Standing released earlier this year, the ever-prolific Willie Nelson is ready to announce his next project and its one incredibly close to his heart. Coming September 14, 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 Willies freewheeling roadhouse rave-ups and Franks smoky, cosmopolitan songs, one may assume they sat on different sides of the fencebut they had an enduring friendship and great respect for each other’s craft. My Way, Willie Nelsons new album, explores his admiration and connection to Sinatras art and artistry across 11 fresh, intoxicating takes on songs made famous by the Chairman of the Board. Recorded in the tradition of 1978s legendary Stardust and 2016s Grammy Award-winning Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin, My Way is a warm and personal nod from one icon to another.Like Sinatra, Willie is a vocalist who imbues every song with a myriad of impressionistic sonic signatures. I learned a lot about phrasing listening to Frank, Willie said in a 2018 interview. He didnt worry about behind the beat or in front of the beat, or whateverhe could sing it either way, and thats the feel you have to have. Such is the spirit of My Way’s smooth approach to timeless tunes like Summer Wind, “It Was A Very Good Year,” Ill Be Around, Fly Me To The Moon, What Is This Thing Called Love (cast as a duet with fellow Grammy winner Norah Jones) and, of course, the anthemic My Way. Add Willies stalwart backing band, plus lush string and horn arrangements all produced by Grammy winners Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollingsand youve got an album thats as cool as it gets.Tracklist:Side A:A1 Fly Me To The MoonA2 Summer WindA3 One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)A4 A Foggy DayA5 It Was A Very Good YearSide B:B1 Blue MoonB2 I’ll Be AroundB3 Night And DayB4 What Is This Thing Called LoveB5 Young At HeartB6 My Way
