  • Willie Nelson Goes Old School With A Tribute To Gershwin… Wait… Who’s That?!

    The Country Crooner Is Demonstrating His Versatility With An Album of Standards!

    Country music icon Willie Nelson is known for his traditional country style, but now he's proving that he's truly a multitalented artist by releasing an album of songs written by songwriting legends George and Ira Gershwin.

    The project follows Nelson winning theĀ 2015 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. This is an honor in and of itself, but even more so considering it was the first time a country music song was chosen.

    Now, Nelson is showing his appreciation with a new album dedicated to the songs of George and Ira Gershwin, and he invited a few famous artists to make guest appearances! Cyndi Lauper and Sheryl Crow both duet with him on the upcoming album.
