Today's Morning Edition music is from Willie Nelson and Cyndi Lauper with "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," a tune from Nelson's new album of songs written by Ira Gershwin.

It comes out Friday but you can listen to the entire album for free right now on the First Listen page on NPR's website.

Each week several new albums from a wide variety of musical genres are featured on the site. It's one of the many services that your membership helps pay for.

Here's another one of this week's selections. It's a commentary on the selfie generation from the new album by Santigold.
