Back in 2018, Willie Nelson released a compilation of covers in tribute to Frank Sinatra entitled My Way. The Texas outlaw country guitarist now plans to release another studio album in tribute to Sinatra with the 11-track That’s Life, due out February 26th, 2021.
The covers album will be available on CD and vinyl formats, along with a bundle option that comes with a 12″ x 12″ art print and a 252-piece puzzle. Some of the well-known Sinatra standards to be featured on the tribute compilation include “Nice Work If You Can Get It”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “You Make Me Feel So Young”, and “Luck Be A Lady”, and was produced by Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollings during recording sessions in Hollwood, CA and Austin, TX.
To go with the album’s announcement on Friday (one day ahead of Sinatra’s birthday on Saturday, 12/12) Nelson also shared his cover of “Cottage For Sale”. Listen to the new recording complete with lovely string arrangements below. Fans can also scroll down to watch a video of the artwork to be included in the album’s bundle package.
