Willie Nelson Pays Homage to Friend & Fellow Icon  Frank Sinatra with New Studio Album    That's Life   Out Now on Legacy Recordings   Added and Spinning on Stations Including: WXPN, SXM Outlaw Country, WMOT, KUTX, WNCW, WMNF, KVMR, WHRV, KAXE, WEVL, WUMB, Jefferson Public Radio, KBEM, WYCE, KCSM, WWOZ and Many Others!   Check Out the Video for “I Won’t Dance (feat. Diana Krall)” Honoring the enduring influence and inspiration of Frank Sinatra, That's Life continues Willie's longtime musical appreciation of Sinatra's artistry and repertoire, an exploration exemplified by 2018's My Way, which earned Willie the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Solo Album.  That's Life finds Nelson inhabiting more of the most treasured songs in the Great American Songbook and pays fresh tribute to one of Willie's life-long musical heroes.   "I learned a lot about phrasing listening to Frank," Willie said in an interview for AARP magazine (June/July 2018). "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."    Produced by Buddy Cannon and Matt Rollings, That's Life was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood - where Frank Sinatra, the first artist to record at the facility, created an unbroken string of album masterpieces from March 1956 to November 1961 - with additional recording at Pedernales Studios in Austin, Texas. Willie and Trigger deliver 11 new studio performances, coming alive in a musical landscape animated by lush string and vibrant horn arrangements on an album mixed by recording industry legend Al Schmitt (who's recorded and mixed more than 150 gold and platinum albums and won more Grammy Awards than any other engineer or mixer).
