Willie Nelson appears in the new movie 'Angels Sing,' and he's letting readers of The Boot hear a song from the soundtrack early via this exclusive song premiere.

The 80-year old legend stars alongside Harry Connick, Jr., 'Nashville' star Connie Britton, Kris Kristofferson and Fionnula Flanagan in the holiday film, which is based on the book 'When Angels Sing.'

Connick plays Michael Walker, who wished that it was Christmas every day when he was young, but lost his holiday spirit in the wake of a tragic accident. 30 years later, he is still unable to experience the joy of Christmas. Britton plays his wife, and Kristofferson and Flanagan play his parents. Nelson plays Nick, a mysterious character who helps Walker regain the spirit of the season.

The soundtrack features Nelson performing 'Family Bible,' as well as holiday songs from Connick and Kristofferson, who also performs 'Pretty Paper' in the film. Check out the exclusive premiere of 'Family Bible' below.

The 'Angels Sing' soundtrack is set for release on Dec. 17, and is currently available for pre-order at iTunes.
