Waylon Jennings was the real deal, and Songbird proves why unheard tracks from the outlaw country legend are so highly anticipated. This collection features 10 previously unreleased tracks recorded during Waylon's golden era of the 1970s and early 1980s, showcasing the authentic sound that made him a cornerstone of country music.
What makes this release truly special is how seamlessly these recordings from different years flow together, thanks to Waylon's ever-present co-producer and Waylors drummer Richie Albright. The album features notable collaborations including a duet with Jessi Colter on a JJ Cale cover, guest guitar work from Tony Joe White, and backing vocals from modern country stars Elizabeth Cook and Ashley Monroe on the title track—a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Songbird."
