NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The family of Waylon Jennings will soon release songs the country music icon recorded shortly before his death 10 years ago.
At least eight of the 12 songs on the tentatively titled “Goin’ Down Rockin’: The Final Recordings” were written by Littlefield native Jennings and eight have not been released in any version before. The simple vocal and guitar tracks were cut at steel guitarist Robby Turner’s studio before Jennings’ death in 2002 and musicians who worked with Jennings have gathered to finish the tracks.
