Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground

Description

There's more to Willie Nelson than what meets the eye. This nasal-toned country singer is perhaps the George Gershwin of country music. Matter-of-fact he deserves to be classified as a songwriter the same as Gershwin. This song is proof that Nelson has a solid grip on the 32 bar form that characterizes most of the jazz genre.

In this series, we'll look at the composition as well as the style of playing that has made this song and Willie Nelson so famous.
