Summertime Willie Nelson sings Gershwin

Description

The legend of country music Willie Nelson returns with a new album Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin. This album, featuring great classics written by the famous duo George and Ira Gershwin, follows the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize that Willie Nelson received in 2015. A very prestigious award, especially since Willie received it as a songwriter and he is the first Country artist to be honored. Willie Nelson's simple style and touching voice perfectly match the exquisite construction, unforgettable melodies, and sublime romance of the songs by the Gershwin brothers specially selected for Summertime. Among the 11 Gershwin classics recorded by Willie Nelson, there will be two duets "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" with Cyndi Lauper and "Embraceable You" with Sheryl Crow. Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin takes us back to Stardust, the brilliant album, 5 times platinum in the United States, which secured Willie a beautiful and lasting reputation as a pop ballad singer.
