Are there any in particular that you’re really excited to do in front of an audience? You mentioned "Cottage For Sale" being the favorite of the record. Every time I do it I think about it and I wish I could have spent more time with Frank.īaltin: We're getting to a point soon when you’re able to go back out on the road and do these songs. So that knocked me out.īaltin: When you go back into these songs do you feel like it brings you closer or it takes you back to even being that kid and hearing these songs? And I read somewhere that I was his favorite singer. And then more recently, we did some shows together in Palm Springs and in Vegas. We did a commercial together, a hundred years ago, we did "A Foggy Day In (London Town)." It was on his album. Did you guys ever meet? I’m sure you did at some point. So a lot of us liked the song.īaltin: I love that you refer to him as Frank. And I listened to his record on it and it was pretty good. And I found out Jerry Jeff Walker had recorded it. We got a list, it’s checked out to see who all had recorded that song besides Frank. Just the arrangement itself knocks me out. It’s an incredible arrangement that Matt Rollings and Buddy Cannon and those guys came up with, all those fantastic musicians first of all. Nelson: "Cottage For Sale." If I had to pick a favorite, I think that would be it. I love all those songs and I felt like I could sing ‘em.īaltin: Were there any songs in particular that really stood out to you? Another to go into the studio and then turn on the mic and say, “You’re on.” It’s another deal entirely. Nelson: Oh yeah, it’s one thing to hear them and like them. So were there Sinatra songs from this record that you particularly enjoyed doing, or that you got a new appreciation for? Nelson: Well of course, "On the Road Again," "Whiskey River," "Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," "Always on My Mind."īaltin: When you get an opportunity as an artist to delve into somebody else’s songs, you hear these oftentimes in a new way. When you’re playing in front of thousands of people again, what’s that one song for you that you just can’t wait to do and see how everybody responds to it? īaltin: Lukas and I were joking at the time how a song like "On the Road Again" takes on such new meaning. Nelson: She would probably be very reasonable. So I imagine there’s a lot of that going on.īaltin: What do you think your wife would ask for you if you were for sale? I heard there was this sign out in front of a window that said Husband for Sale. Some have really enjoyed their time with family and others who have lost their mind. I have spoken to hundreds of artists during this time. Baltin: I got to interview you son Lukas in August and he was telling me that the first four and half months you guys had dinner together every night at 5:30 which he hadn’t done since he was ten years old. ![]()
