WILLIE NELSON: âAngel Flying Too Close to the Groundâ
Willie Nelson has become such an American icon that people tend to forget his sublime artistry. A distinctive singer with a jazz vocalistâs sense of timing, heâs also one of country music all-time great guitarists and songwriters (heâs penned âCrazy,â âHello Walls,â and âFunny How Time Slips Away,â among others.) This clip finds Nelson at a concert in â92 performing another original, âAngel Flying Too Close to the Ground,â in which he expresses bitterness better than perhaps any pop scribe around.
