On January 18, Riser House/Sony Music will release Ronnie Milsap: the Duets. This record, which Milsap produced along with Rob Galbraith, presents the celebrated country artist collaborating with a number of artists, including: Willie Nelson, Billy Gibbons, Luke Bryan, Dolly Parton, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town and George Strait. The sessions, which took place in February 2017 also featured what may well be the final studio appearance by Leon Russell.

Today we are premiering Milsap’s performance of “A Woman’s Love” with Willie Nelson. Milsap tells Relix, “Willie and I have been running up and down these highways alongside each other forever. He’s a real singer’s singer, and as a songwriter, he finds the nuance that exists, not just the words and the notes. Heck, after he recorded ‘A Woman’s Love’ with me, he decided liked this Mike Reid song so much he cut it on his own album! But that’s the thing about great songs, people just want to keep singing them, and for me, I just love singing with great singers. So, I guess everybody wins with this one.”
