WAYLON JENNINGS’ POSTHUMOUS ALBUM
WAYLON FOREVER
OUT OCTOBER 21 ON VAGRANT RECORDS

ALBUM REVEALS COUNTRY LEGEND WAYLON JENNINGS’ FINAL RECORDINGS OF UNHEARD MATERIAL

On October 21, Grammy Award Winner and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Waylon Jennings’ final recording Waylon Forever will be released on Vagrant Records. The eight-song collection of cover songs and originals feature the vocals of Waylon Jennings backed by his son Shooter Jennings and the .357’s.

The inception of Waylon Forever began in 1995 when Waylon asked Shooter to collaborate on an album with him. “I’d been playing my dad the music I was inspired by at the time,” Shooter explains. “Whether it was Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Pink Floyd or Cream he really enjoyed being apart of my musical journey. It was then he suggested we do an album together.” Of the recording process Shooter states, “He was always so creative and inspired by new musical directions and this was my first real album to put together. I buried myself in the studio for weeks constructing the tracks. With 20 or so songs we went into the studio to cut vocals and overdubs. He was so excited for us doing a record together, constantly pushing himself and coming up with new ideas. I was so nervous but he was calm as a gunslinger.” Final recording sessions for the album began in 2006 after Shooter transferred the original tapes to pro tools. Shooter then brought the .357’s into the studio in Los Angeles to cut tracks to his father’s vocals and complete the record. “The tracks I originally made were a little young and messy, but they were still really wild. Now I feel like I been given the chance to take my years of experience and match them to his,” confesses Shooter. “Either way, we did it and we now have a record that reflects his huge creative drive and the boundlessness of his own artistic mind. Waylon forever!”

Waylon Jennings’ career spanned for more than 40 years. During his lifetime he released over 50 studio albums which generated 16 number one singles and four Country Music Awards. In 1978 Jennings was awarded a Grammy for the song “Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys” and in 2001 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In September 2007 Shooter Jennings made his Grand Ole Opry debut highlighting songs from his most recent album The Wolf, which USA Today described as “…Southern-rock stomps, Cajun shuffles and mariachi waltzes.”

i don't know about that last one littlearch sounds like shooter is trying to pull some money from dad's old recordings on the back of johnny cash's success, blah, blah, blah...just get some of the old stuff

really? god i must be so sentimental at the moment

i'm currently downloading about 21 albums ranging from 60s 70s and one or two from the 80s that should keep me going

including one about ned kelly!

1) Johnny Cash

2) Townes Van Zandt

3) Waylon Jennings.

Certainly royalty I'd say.

PS drunk post.

don't forget willie nelson.

waylon jennings doesn't get me over the line.

overrated.

just sayin'

i got a text from my brother last week. he said he'd been driving and started choking up while listening to 'i was a highway man.' i texted back, 'that's beautiful man. which line got you?' and he said, 'I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below.'

anyway, i was watching the highwaymen on dvd at some bloke's place who i'd prefer to forget about (please don't ask me about him) and it would seem all efforts to knock me off my anti waylon perch have succeeded because

I LOVE YOU WAYLON AND I AM SORRY FOR MY RETARD COMMENTS 2 MONTHS AGO.

rigid, what was the name of that song about the curtain falling on that woman. i will listen to it when i get home from work. no sound on the work pc you see...

ahhh, that'd be mental revenge.

MountainMan is mad for Waylon Jennings at the moment.

what's yr opinion on the kid?

Shooter?

He's awesome.

has anyone read waylon jenning's autobiography? i hit five shops up yesterday and it looks like i'll have to order it.

anyway, apparently waylon doesn't like david allan coe.

Coe is nowhere near Willie,and Waylon. If you read Waylons Autobiography he tells you that Coe likes to claim to be an outlaw,but Waylon couldn't stand the guy,and had no problem telling coe what he thought of him.

hmmmm.

i am reading the waylon bio at the moment and david allan coe is running around town calling waylon and willie sellouts and saying he's going to punch glen campbell for his song rhinestone cowboy. waylon has just dug his finger into DAC's chest and told him to knock that shit off. good times!

time to bum again & anita you're dreaming on porter.

''Honky Tonk Heroes'' from 1973 rules.

yep. great record. Billy Joe Shaver sure knows how to write 'em!

waylon has just been busted for coke except the cops can't find the coke that waylon is supposed to have even though they saw the coke go into the building. waylon had a two way PA system in his recording studio and heard the cops on their way in and had time to throw his stash to the other side of the room where it landed in a discreet little hole in the wall.

now waylon is doing so much coke that he's having to buy a new car every now and then because he keeps getting shitfaced and saying 'i'm ducking out for a minute' and then goes on big drives, disappears for a couple of days and then can't remember where he's parked his car.

september, what is the name of the book? Wanna swap it for the Hulk Hogan autobiography when you're finished?

waylon. an autobiography, tiger tiger.

is the hulk hogan one any good?

cheers. Just noticed it's on sale at bookdepository too!
The Hulk Hogan one has its' moments, but fairly dull overall. Just skims the surface. Brett ''the Hitman'' Hart one on the other hand...

Anyway, what's Waylon up to now?

Didn't know he named his son .... won't spoil it. But it's a weird one

he's just had a baby.

How does David Allan Coe come across in this, septie?

DAC is coming across as a bit of big mouth, block. waylon reckons if you really are a bad arse you don't have to go around saying you are. waylon reckons DAC is annoying but says he has a soft spot for him.

now waylon is having a cigarette with the dude who plays big bird on sesame street and has accidently set the top half of big bird's costume on fire.
