Tracklist For Waylon Jennings’ ‘Songbird’ Album Revealed

The official tracklist.

Shooter Jennings is gearing up to release an album of his father’s, the late, great Waylon Jennings, archival songs that he recently discovered, which were all recorded in the prime of his career.

It will actually be a three-part project, and the first one, Songbird, will be out on October 3rd. Shooter produced the project, and he said they didn’t need too much work, but he did add some background vocals and other instrumentation just to polish it up and make it ready to be put on a professional album in the modern world of 2025.

And today, the Waylon Jennings estate released the official tracklist for Songbird, which features ten songs in total, including the two previously-released songs in the title track and “The Cowboy (Small Texas Town).”

“The wait is almost over and the official track list for ‘Songbird’ is here! Pre- order and pre-save now for the October 3rd drop! Which song are you most excited to hear?”

It’s going to be very special, and during a podcast appearance on The Drifting Cowboy podcast recently, Shooter put those rumors to bed, saying he actually went out of his way to do it all as old school as possible and did not use AI for any aspect of the project, including marketing or artwork, and he went out of his way to do it that way:

“Oh, the AI thing? It’s so amazing that like like right when AI happens, we get a new Waylon record. I mean, I would probably be the guy saying that, you know, cause I’m cynical… that’s why we took so many painstaking steps to ensure that… of course, it’s not AI.

Like, I don’t even know how to use AI to make music right, and I’d rather think it would be able to do that. But also just as far as everything involved with it, like making sure there’s nothing AI related, or there’s no steps even in the art or in anything. Because I can’t pollute the material.

Because the Waylon thing, man, what’s so cool about it is like, if we mixed it, I mixed it on a 1976 custom API in the Sunset Sound using only outboard gear. We didn’t use any kind of digital processing.”

He has poured so much into making sure this is up to the incredible standards that Waylon had when creating his iconic music so many decades ago, and it’s a real treat for fans to get so many original songs so many years after they were recorded.

I’m sure many of us never thought we’d get a project like this, and if it charts, and I’m assuming it will, it’s going to be wild (in the best way possible) to see Waylon back on the charts again.

October 3rd can’t come soon enough, but until then, you can check out the official tracklist below.
