New Music Video From Waylon Jennings - "Songbird"
In June of 2024, Shooter Jennings unearthed and cataloged his father's personal recording collection of tapes. Inside he found enough finished songs to release three albums. One of the first songs he found was "Songbird". Though that song didn't need any additional musicians, Shooter enlisted Ashley Monroe and Elizabeth Cook to sing backgrounds on the song.
For the rest of the album, and the subsequent to-be-released albums, when there were songs that needed a little musical love, Shooter brought in four of the living members of Waylon's Band, the Waylors (Jerry Bridges, Carter Robertson, Barny Robertson and Gordon Payne), to do a little work on the songs. This video is a compilation of footage from Waylon's 44th Birthday Party in Nashville in 1981, the first footage of the Waylors entrance to Snake Mountain (Sunset Sound Studio 3), the Waylors hearing the unearthed material for the first time, the Waylors helping finish material across the three forthcoming albums, as well as footage of Ashley Monroe and Elizabeth cook performing their background vocals on "Songbird".
This is the first of those new released songs...
