Tribute to Waylon Jennings Volume II Set For Release [Video]

One of the original outlaws of country music,  legend Waylon Jennings, is the recent subject of a musical tribute with an all-star cast.  In fact, the first volume in the CD series,  "The Music Inside:  A Collaboration Dedicated to Waylon Jennings, Volume I"  is already out.  

But Volume II will be available for pre-sale purchase digitally on January 24th, with a retail release set for February 7th.

The album features 11 tracks and the second of the three volume series dedicated to Jennings features music from a variety of major artists:  Dierks Bentley, Justin Moore, Hank Williams, Jr., Jessi Colter,  Montgomery Gentry, Jewel, Jack Ingram, Colt Ford, Josh Thompson, Pat Green and Wyatt McCubbin.

Jessi Colter said she "feels  like this project could very likely break another sound barrier." ...Waylon was so original. For his songs to be sang by other people and to take me somewhere else is not an easy task."

Recording for the three volume series started over three-and-a-half years ago, and has been a labor of love for Jennings' widow Jessi Colter; son Shooter Jennings; and guitarist Reggie Young.

According to music reports they, along with producer Witt Stewart, have assembled a star-studded roster of artists to pay tribute to Jennings and highlight his undeniable musical and cultural influence.

Colter said she had been pleasantly surprised  that the people involved chose to make the songs their own. "They add something to it and to me that's what makes it interesting. They made it their own because they could never walk in Waylon's tracks. They'd be stepping in holes."

The Music Inside: A Collaboration Dedicated to Waylon Jennings.

Volume I, was released last year and available now.
