| Review: Waylon left us in 2002, but not before (even years prior) he recorded a few tracks with his son, Shooter. His place in rock history well-fixed, this Grammy award winner and Hall of Fame member’s posthumous release was put together by Shooter, who resurrected the tracks from the 95-96 sessions and finished recording them with his own band, the .357’s. Standouts include covers of Rodney Crowell’s “Ain’t Livin Long Like This” (track 3) and Neil Young’s “Are You Ready for the Country?” (track 4). Also spin the golden blues creeper, “Waymore’s Blues” (track 6)—it’s GOLD!. A fitting last project for Waylon, and a bridge to Shooter and the .357’s. Oh, and pop the cover open and check out the photobooth pic with Buddy Holly! | ||
