Legacy Recordings Celebrates Waylon Jennings' 70th Birthday!
Arriving in stores on July 24th, 2007, on RLG Nashville/Legacy, is THE ESSENTIAL WAYLON JENNINGS, a 42-song two-CD collection co-produced by Waylon's son, Shooter, that spans his career from 1964 to 1987, among them a dozen #1 Country hits and another 14 that reached the Top 10. br / br /With the exception of the opening track ("Big Mamou," recorded at JD's night club in Phoenix) and closing track ("Rose In Paradise," his final #1 single, on MCA), the balance of the 40 songs celebrate Waylon's two decades on RCA Victor Records - one of the longest (and stormiest), most productive (and most combative), most gratifying (and most often frustrating), and most talked-about partnerships in Country music history. br / br /With his extraordinary litany of signature cuts - among them Gordon Lightfoot's "(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me" (learned from Ian Sylvia), "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line," Kristofferson and Shel Silverstein's "The Taker" and Kris' "Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)," Lee Clayton's "Ladies Love Outlaws," Steve Young's "Lonesome, On'ry And Mean," Willie's " Pretend I Never Happened," Donnie Fritts and Troy Seals' "We Had It All," Billy Joe Shaver's "Honky Tonk Heroes," "This Time," "I'm A Ramblin' Man," "Amanda," "Good Hearted Woman" and "Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)" and "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" (all three with Willie Nelson), Neil Young's "Are You Ready For The Country," Rodney Crowell's "I Ain't Living Long Like This," and many others - Waylon's place in American music history is secured forever. br / br /Adding a small sample of Waylon's own list of original compositions - among them "That's The Chance I'll Have To Take," "You Ask Me To" (co-written with Billy Joe Shaver), "This Time," "Rainy Day Woman," "Bob Wills Is Still the King," "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," "Waymore's Blues," "I've Always Been Crazy," "A Long Time Ago" (co-written with Shel Silverstein), "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out Of Hand," "Theme From The Dukes Of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)," and "Storms Never Last" (co-written with Jessi Colter) - and THE ESSENTIAL WAYLON JENNINGS earns its title. br / br / br / DISC 1: br / 1.
