Willie Nelson – My Way (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded at a stage in his career when Nelson had long since earned the right to interpret anyone he pleased, *My Way* finds him bringing the same unhurried phrasing and emotional intimacy to Sinatra's songbook that he once applied to Hoagy Carmichael's on *Stardust*. Nelson's relationship with jazz-inflected phrasing and his outlaw-country roots turn out to be surprisingly natural companions for this material, the spaces between his notes carrying as much weight as the melodies themselves.
My Way, Willie Nelson's new studio album, explores his admiration and connection to Frank 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 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. Included are Willie's takes on timeless tunes like "Summer Wind," "It Was A Very Good Year," "I'll 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 Willie's stalwart backing band plus lush arrangements for full string and horn sections - all produced by Grammy winners Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollings - and you've got an album that's as cool as it gets.
