Nelson first teased the album on April 27, 2018, while promoting his album
Last Man Standing in an article published by
Variety, saying that the
Great American Songbook "is a deep well, because good songs never die. If it was good a hundred years ago, it's still good today." The album was formally announced on July 19, 2018. It is a collection of songs closely associated with
Frank Sinatra, whom Nelson first heard at 10 years old when Sinatra joined the radio program
Your Hit Parade. Nelson and Sinatra were close friends and mutual admirers of each other's work. In the 1980s, the pair performed on the same bill at the
Golden Nugget in Las Vegas and appeared together in a public service announcement for the
Space Foundation. The album's first single, "Summer Wind", was released on the same day, along with its accompanying music video. On August 24, 2018, "I'll Be Around" was released as the album's second single, with its music video premiering the same day. The third single from the album, "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)", was released on September 10, 2018, along with its music video. ==Track listing==
