Stars Help Sinatra Pledge 'Love' - Billboard.com
Nancy Sinatra has drafted a cavalcade of stars to assist with her upcoming album, "To Nancy, With Love." As previously reported, the set will be released in late summer or early fall via Sanctuary's revived Attack imprint, which is being supervised by Morrissey. The first single is Sinatra's version of "Let Me Kiss You," which Morrissey recorded for his new album, "You Are the Quarry."
U2's Bono and the Edge offer "Two Shots of Happy," originally written for Sinatra's late father Frank. "It's a little difficult emotionally because this is about Dad, but it's a bang-on description of him," Nancy says in a statement.
Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker penned two songs for "To Nancy," which were recorded with such musicians as guitarist Richard Hawley, bassist Jim O'Rourke and former Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken. Pete Yorn contributes "Don't Mean Nothin'," while Jon Spencer plays guitar and sings on a new version of Sinatra's "Ain't No Easy Way."
Also expected to make the final cut is a duet with Elvis Costello titled "Comin' Home Baby" and tracks featuring E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt and desert rock act Calexico.
Sinatra's summer plans include a handful of live dates, highlighted by a June 20 appearance the Morrissey-curated Meltdown Festival in London.
