Waylon Jennings’ Final Recordings Slated for Oct. 21
The late Waylon Jennings’ final recordings will be re-
leased on Oct. 21 on Vagrant Records, backed by son
Shooter Jennings and his band, the .357s. Waylon
approached Shooter about making the album in 1995, but
the final recording sessions took place in 2006 after
Shooter moved the original tapes to ProTools. “The
tracks I originally made were a little young and messy,
but they were still really wild,” the younger Jennings
says. “Now I feel like I’ve been given the chance to
take my years of experience and match them to his.” The
project’s eight songs include “Ain’t Livin’ Long Like
This,” “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean,” “Waymore’s Blues”
and “Are You Ready for the Country?” Waylon Jennings
died in 2002.
