Lost Nashville Sessions

Waylon  Jennings  is  one  of  those  rare  artists  who  can  truly  be  called  a  musical  icon.    He  was  part  of  a  music  genre  dubbed   Outlaw   Country  and  was  linked  with  other  artists  such  as  Willie  Nelson,  Merle  Haggard  and  Kris  Kristofferson  who  rebelled  against  the   mainstream   Nashville  Sound.  Waylon  was  most  confident  in  his  own  guitar  playing.   He  wasn t  one  of  those   you d  better  get   every  note  exactly  right  kind  of  guys,  I  think  I  only  ever  saw  him  come  to  one  sound  check.  He  trusted  his  band.  If  you  did  some-­ thing  he  really  liked,  he d  turn  around  and  applaud  you  on  stage,  recalled  Fred  Newell
The  pinnacle  of  Jennings  output  of   Outlaw  Country  (1972 s   Ladies  Love  Outlaws  album)  was  still  a  couple  of  years  away  when   he  entered  the  studio  at  Scotty  Moore s  Music  City  Recorders  in  Nashville  on  July  13,  1970,  and  recorded  the  tracks  that  appear   on  this  album.  Amazingly,  these  tracks  have  never  before  been  commercially  released.  Fans  will  be  applauding  as  they  listen  to   these  newly  discovered  tracks  that  showcase  Waylon  Jennings's  at  the  height  of  his  musical  career.    These  recordings  have  been   enhanced  by  Grammy  Award  winning  producer  and  musician  Robby  Turner,  who  worked  for  Waylon  for  15+  years  and  did  his   last last  10  albums.  On  this  release  Robby  added  some  new  instruments  and  background  voices,  while  still  maintaining  the  pure  and   authentic  Waylon  Jennings  sound,  taking  this  album  into  the  contemporary  era.
