In 2015, Willie Nelson became the first country artist to receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, an honor so deserving, it almost seemed like destiny. Similarly, Nelson's reaction to the award feels a bit preordained: he settled into the studio with much of his band and longtime producer Buddy Cannon to cut 11 George Gershwin tunes. It's largely the same crew who were responsible for 2013's Let's Face the Music and Dance, the last all-standards Nelson release, but Summertime feels a bit different: more intimate but also more straightforward, swappi. Willie Nelson may be the king of outlaw country, but the LP that made him a household name was Stardust, his quintuple-platinum 1978 set of old-school pop standards like Georgia On My Mind, All Of Me, and Blue Skies. Blue-jeaned badasses mightve sneered that their Whiskey River-running hero had gone soft. Willie Nelson's new album of pop standards, penned by America's legendary songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin, follows the selection of Willie as the 2015 recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Among the 11 Gershwin classics recorded by Willie Nelson for his new album are two duets: Let's Call The Whole Thing Off with Cyndi Lauper the song was originally introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1937 film Shall We Dance and Embraceable You with Sheryl Crow the song was performed by Ginger Rogers in Girl Craz. Willie tackled Gershwin as early as 1978s Stardust, but here he dedicates an entire album to Ira and Georges gems. Bluesier tunes like the slinky It Aint Necessarily So lend themselves naturally to Nelsons spare, earthy treatment, but hes just as adept at interpreting romantic ballads such as Embraceable You, where hes joined by Sheryl Crow. The key is Nelsons knack for distinctly jazzy, behind-the-beat phrasing he has employed it throughout his career, but on standards like these its an especially effective element of his style.
