Willie Nelson is well-known for his versatility in various genres covering rock, folk, and his signature genre country.
In 2018, Nelson covered the classic song of Frank Sinatra “Summer Wind” which is very different from his genre but Nelson’s version was surprising and fit.
This cover was a part of Nelson’s tribute album My Way, which was dedicated to the legendary artist Frank Sinatra.
Sinatra’s version features soaring high notes, while Nelson’s version delivered a unique country vibes, offering a fresh take on this song.
Nelson felt covering this song was a challenge considering the massive fanbase of Sinatra but he was also confident in his performance.
The live performance of “Summer Night” was deeply appreciated by the fans and is even more remarkable than the album recording.
