Legendary country artist Waylon Jennings, who passed away in 2002, will have a posthumous album titled 'Songbird' released on October 3rd. The album features previously unheard recordings made between 1973 and 1984. Shooter Jennings, Waylon's son, has compiled and mixed the tracks, which originate from sessions with his band, The Waylors. Shooter emphasized that these recordings were not merely demos but intended for release. 'Songbird' is planned to be the first of three albums that will honor his father's musical legacy, exciting fans of country music.
"What became very apparent to me was that my dad was recording constantly with his band The Waylors between tours. Just having won the David-and-Goliath battle against RCA for creative control and artistic freedom, Waylon was awarded the ability to record his music on his terms in his own studios, with his touring band, and without label oversight and without any outside influence."
"Songbird is the beginning of Waylon's return to the modern world. This is the first of three gifts from me to you: the fans that have kept my father's voice, songs and legacy alive all these years."
