According to Shooter Jennings, the recording was discovered while he was reviewing multiple archival sessions from his father’s collection.
The song was originally recorded on Dec. 28, 1978, during one of the most successful periods of Waylon Jennings’ career. It was written by Jennings and Campbell and remained unreleased for decades.
During his CBSSunday Morning interview, Shooter explained that the project is about preserving the true story of Waylon Jennings beyond the public image often associated with the outlaw country movement.
Waylon Jennings remains one of country music’s most celebrated artists. A pioneer of the outlaw country movement, he scored 16 No. 1 hits and helped reshape Nashville by fighting for greater creative freedom for artists. His career included classics such as “I’m a Rambling Man,” “Luckenbach, Texas” and “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” with Willie Nelson.
The album will contain 12 tracks, including “Saturday Night Special,” “Wild & Blue,” “Lost Love Song” and “Words.” It also includes “I’m Tired,” featuring Waylon’s wife and fellow country star Jessi Colter.
