On Feb. 26, 2021, Willie Nelson will drop That’s Life a brand new covers album honoring the work of Frank Sinatra.
To promote the LP, Nelson has shared a duet of "I Won't Dance" with Canadian pianist and singer Diana Krall, along with an accompanying animated short film.
The video is inspired by classic cartoons, and was animated by Manuel Casares and Antonio Corral. I Won’t Dance was originally written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach in 1934, and made famous by the likes of Fred Astaire and Sinatra.
"I learned a lot about phrasing listening to Frank,” Nelson recently told AARP magazine. “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.”
