In 1995, Waylon Jennings laid down vocal tracks for an album he intended to record with his then-16-year-old son, Shooter. The elder Jennings died in 2002 with the project unfinished and unreleased -- until now. In an interview with Paste magazine, Shooter Jennings reveals details of 'Waylon Forever,' a nine-song collection which includes a combination of Waylon originals and unique covers reflecting Shooter's edgier musical taste at the time.
"I was 16 years old and way into Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses, but [Dad] was really excited to do something together. So I came up with all these ideas for new arrangements of his songs and a few covers."
Shooter, who completed the project with his band, the .357s, says he was inspired to do a slowed-down version of his dad's classic, 'Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand' after hearing Johnny Cash's plaintive take on Nine Inch Nails 'Hurt.' But for the younger Jennings, who memorably portrayed his dad in the Oscar-winning film 'Walk the Line,' the most important aspect of the process now seems to be relishing the time he had with his father.
"I may not have appreciated it as much as I should have then," he says, "but I couldn't be happier to be doing a record with him now. It's like I'm finishing the job we started together."
'Waylon Forever' is scheduled for release later this summer.
