INYIM Media Musique Royalty One On One: Willie Nelson Releasing Frank Sinatra Covers Album!
“Well, if Bob Dylan could release three albums of Frank Sinatra covers, why can’t Willie Nelson release two? After taking on Ol’ Blue Eyes on 2018’s My Way, Nelson announced his second collection of Sinatra songs on what would
have been his 105th birthday.Titled That’s Life, after
one of Sinatra’s signature songs, the album will feature 11 tracks from the
1950s and 1960s. The LP, produced by Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollings, was
recorded in the same spirit as Stardust, Nelson’s 1978 album of pop standards. His first Sinatra tribute was the
2018 album My Way, which
earned Willie the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Solo Album.You can listen to the first single from That’s Life, “A Cottage for Sale,” below.
That’s Life will be released on
Feb. 26, 2021 on Legacy Recordings. You can pre-order the album here.See the tracklisting and when the songs were originally released below.
