According to billboard.com, Waylon Forever—billed as the final recordings of Waylon Jennings—will be released Oct. 21 via Vagrant Records.

The report continues by saying that the eight-song album is actually a collaboration between Waylon Jennings—who passed away in 2002—and his son Shooter that began over 12 years ago when Shooter was just 16. In 2006, Shooter and his band the 357s recorded more backing tracks for the material.

“It wasn’t like it’s some mysterious story about some unfinished album that was in some closet for 10 years,” Shooter tells Billboard.com. “We finished the album the best that we could when I was 16. We had all the intentions in the world to get it out there and get a record deal with it.”

The report notes that the original recordings were ignored until Jennings’s producer and girlfriend encouraged him to revive the project.
 
The report adds that the album features renditions of Neil Young’s “Are You Ready for the Country,” Rodney Crowell’s “Ain’t Living Long Like This,” Cream’s “White Room,” and a number of Jennings originals including “Waymore’s Blues.”

Jennings notes in the Billboard report that “It’s all about bringing my musical side of everything I do around him and creating this completely different but acceptable space that he fits in.”
