Willie Nelson | Too Sick To Pray | Cover by Johnny McGuire

My cover of "Too Sick To Pray" by Willie Nelson.
Written by Willie Nelson.

This is my full cover of “Too Sick to Pray” by Willie Nelson — one of his more overlooked songs, but one that’s always stuck with me. The song was never a radio hit, but I love it. I heard Phosphorescent do a cover of it one time and this is what inspired my version.

I wanted to keep it raw and honest in this version — no flash, just a little respect for the words and the space between them. Thanks for listening.*

(Too Sick to Pray appeared on Willie’s 1996 album "Spirit", an intimate, understated record with minimal instrumentation — just piano, fiddle, guitar, and Willie’s voice.)
