Billboard.com is reporting that John Michael Montgomery, after starting his own Stringtown Records label, is planning an album of covers of 70's and 80's outlaw songs including Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr and Waylon Jennings."I'm looking at going in and cutting an album of my favorite Outlaw hits from back in the day," says Montgomery, who first worked with Time Life on an infommercial for the company's Country Explosion" series. "That's the music I cut my teeth on -- Hank (Williams) Jr., Willie (Nelson), Waylon (Jennings). "I want to bring back what I feel was one of the greatest eras of music. Not only was Southern rock huge, but the country music scene was really rockin', too. So I'm excited about doing that. It gives me a chance to go back in time and sing some of the songs I grew up singing."
Montgomery says he'll probably record the album in the late summer or early fall.
