These boots were definitely made for walking!
On Friday night, Nancy Sinatra celebrated Beyoncé by sampling her iconic 1965 single 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'' at Cowboy Carter stands out “Ya Ya”.
“Having a little bit of one of my records on a @Beyonce song means a lot to me because I love her,” Sinatra wrote on X. “She represents everything that's great about music today and I'm glad I'm tiny Part of the.”
“This might be the best 'Boots' sample yet! And the pace continues…” he added.
On the album, “Ya Ya” is introduced by Black country music pioneer Linda Martell, who said the song “straddles a number of genres and that's what makes it such a unique listening experience.”
“Ya Ya” opens with a nod to Nancy Sinatra's “These Boots Are Made for Walkin',” interjects a segment of the Beach Boys' “Good Vibrations,” and channels Tina Turner's “Proud Mary.” “I just want to shake my ass!” Beyoncé sings.
Sinatra's track is one of many samples, covers and interludes on the album, including Fleetwood Mac's “Landslide”, Dolly Parton's “Jolene” and The Beatles' “Blackbird”. There were several guests Cowboy Carterfeaturing Miley Cyrus (“II Most Wanted”), Post Malone (“Levii's Jeans”), Shaboozey (“Spaghettii”, “Sweet Honey Buckin”) and Willie Jones (“Just for Fun”).
A trio of country legends — Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Linda Martell — provide interlude narration, while additional contributors include Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Rhiannon Giddens, Robert Randolph, Raphael Saadiq and Justin Schipper.
