The late Waylon Jennings has brought Alabama back together. The group reteamed to record a song for the upcoming tribute album "The Inside Music: A Collaboration Dedicated To Waylon Jennings, Volume 1." Their song, "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," will be the lead-off single from the CD. Alabama's Randy Owen notes it was no hardship for him to work once again with the group for this project. He says, quote, "What an opportunity for us to go back in the studio, play and record live like we used to, and pay tribute to a TRUE legend in music...not in country music...in music period." Alabama's Jeff Cook adds, quote, "Waylon was one of a kind. We did a lot of his songs in our early years. It's nice to be a part of this tribute album." Alabama's "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" -- the band's first new recording in a decade -- will be making its way to radio next week.
"The Inside Music: A Collaboration Dedicated To Waylon Jennings, Volume 1" will hit stores February 8th. Others featured on the album include Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Kris Kristofferson, Trace Adkins, and James Otto, along with his widow Jessi Colter and son Shooter Jennings. Pre-orders begin December 1st at WaylonJennings.com.
