The Lost Nashville Sessions

Description

LOST NASHVILLE SESSIONS – Country Rewind is proud to bring
you The Lost Nashville Sessions from Waylon Jennings. Waylon Jennings recorded
the tracks that appear on this album at Scotty Moore’s Music City Recorders in
Nashville in 1970 and have never before been commercially released. These
newly discovered tracks showcase Jennings at the height of his musical career
and have been enhanced by Grammy award winning producer, Robby Turner who
added some new instruments and background vocals while still maintaining the
authentic Waylon sound. Review A collection of never-released Waylon Jennings
recordings will finally be heard September 2nd when The Lost Nashville
Sessions hits stores. The album’s track list includes classics such as “Only
Daddy That’ll Walk the Line,” “Singer of Sad Songs” and “Green River.” A few
cover songs are thrown into the mix, as well, including Jennings’ take on
Chuck Berry’s “Brown Eyed Handsome Man” and Kris Kristofferson’s “Sunday
Morning Coming Down.” (The latter song was made famous by Johnny Cash, who
just so happened to be Jennings’ roommate in the few years prior to Jennings’
recording of the melancholic ballad.) All of The Lost Sessions’ vocals were
recorded in the summer of 1970 but were recently enhanced by Robby Turner, the
late country legend’s longtime steel guitarist and producer. Turner, who now
plays with Chris Stapleton, among other country greats, added background
vocals to the project, along with new instrumentation. In 1970, Waylon
Jennings was already a Grammy winner (for his “MacArthur Park” collaboration
with the Kimberlys) but nowhere near the pinnacle of his career. In fact, he
hadn’t yet developed his signature Outlaw country sound that has since been
emulated and idolized by legions of fans. So what you won’t hear on this album
are classics like “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean” or “Luckenbach, Texas.” Instead,
The Lost Nashville Sessions gives a history lesson to the Lone Star State
native’s more rockabilly beginnings. It will be released on both CD and vinyl.
