Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
Willie Nelson wrote “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” and put out the earliest release of it on file, in 1980. Also recorded by Bob Dylan (released 1994), Beth Rowley (released 2007) and Kelley Deal with Kris Kristofferson (released 1996), among 52 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Willie put this one out himself in 1980, and when Dylan's take came out in 1994 you got one great writer singing another's song straight. Play Willie's first, then hear what Bob does with it.
