Just when you think he couldn't be any cooler, Willie NelsonĀ hasĀ released a second trackĀ from his upcoming album "Last Leaf On The Tree." The song, a cover of a classicĀ Flaming LipsĀ track, is "Do You Realize?"
It's sorta like whenĀ Johnny CashĀ covered theĀ Nine Inch NailsĀ song "Hurt,"Ā Trent ReznorĀ wasn't a fan (at first). So how do the Lips feel about a country legend covering their track? "Heās just such a unique singer,ā" lead singerĀ Wayne CoyneĀ says. "You hear one second of his voice, and you go, thatās him." Fellow bandmemberĀ Steven DrozdĀ says his only regret is that his late father wonāt get to hear it: "I wish he was still alive to see this happening, that Willie Nelson is doing a Flaming Lips song I had a part in co-writing. Heād be very proud." Willie's album comes out November 1.
So what do you think of it?
