DAVE'S DIARY - 7/2/11 - WAYLON JENNINGS/ BARBARA DOWLING UPDATE
WAYLON JENNINGS TRIBUTE SONGS MULTIPLY
 |
Prominent
Australian country music archivist and former Nu Country FM Long
In The Saddle show host Barbara Dowling is back in the saddle
again. Her extensive list of songs that mention the late Waylon Jennings in their title or lyrics has multiplied - with a little help from many of her friends and Texan readers. The pioneer-CMAA judge and Wandong Country Music festival pioneer was flooded with additions to her list originally published in the Diary on April 20, 2010. She is indebted to Australian disc jockeys and readers and music buff Andrew Hall from Waco - the city that Billy Joe Shaver has long called home. Waylon recorded his famed Honky Tonk Heroes album that only featured one song not written by the Papa Joe's saloon straight shooter. |
Dowling has updated her list to coincide with the release of the first in a trilogy of tribute discs to the singer who died from diabetes related illness at 64 on February 13, 2002.
NEW WAYLON TRIBUTE DISC
The Music Inside: A Collaboration Dedicated to Waylon Jennings Vol 1 was released this month - exactly nine years after his death.

Jamey
Johnson performs The Door Is Always Open, Mental Revenge and
This Time on the disc that also features his widow Jessi Colter
and their only son - singing actor Shooter Jennings. Colter performs a dynamic duet of Good Hearted Woman with Texan Sunny Sweeney and Shooter delivers Belle of the Ball as a ballad. Other artists include James Otto, Randy Houser, Kris Kristofferson and Alabama. Other Waylon tribute discs include Lonesome, Orn'ry & Mean and I've Always Been Crazy that received wide exposure last decade. |
Red River
Tribute - a live double compilation CD featuring mainly Texas artists
plus Shooter Jennings - also appeared in 2003 with proceeds going to The
American Diabetes Foundation.
Shady Creek Outlaws also released Waylon Grass - a Bluegrass Tribute
to Waylon Jennings - in 2006.
Dowling is a revered expert on the famed outlaw singer and actor, Colter
and Shooter who played his dad in Johnny Cash movie Walk The Line.
She wants to complete an exhaustive list of recorded songs that feature
the name or nickname of Waylon.
Here is her updated list.
