Willie Nelson does not sing Frank Sinatra’s repertoire like Sinatra. He sings it his way.
Willie Nelson's 'My Way' is his sixty-eighth studio album featuring Norah Jones on one song, produced by Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollings and released on September 14, 2018 by Legacy Recordings
>>> “He didn’t worry about behind the beat or in front of the beat, or whatever – he could sing it either way, and that’s the feel you have to have.” >>>>>
> a bluesy intimacy that may make some of those who don't care much for Sinatra's braggadocio and bombast on his own version give the song another chance. >>>The Art Desk>>
> He doesn’t amp up the croon factor or melodrama like so many young Bublé wannabes. He simply inhabits the songs >>>
