Summary
Shooter Jennings is assembling two albums from long-stashed Waylon Jennings recordings — "Songbird" and "Diamonds," with the latter set for release later this year.
At Sunset Sound in Hollywood, Jennings said the project is meant to preserve his father's legacy and share material that felt like Waylon was "having a conversation with the listener."
Waylon Jennings, who died in 2002 at 64, left a major country legacy with 16 No. 1 hits and a central role in the outlaw-country movement that expanded artists' creative control in Nashville.
Shooter framed the release as both personal and historical, saying his purpose is to help listeners know the man he knew through previously unheard songs about love, life and dreams.
