The song features a surprise appearance by the late, great Glen Campbell, who joins Gordon Payne, Jerry Bridges, Carter Robertson, Barney Robertson, Rance Wasson, the collective known as the Waylors, in backing Waylon Jennings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis track eluded me,\u201d says Shooter Jennings. \u201cI kept finding it across three different sessions while I was going through my father\u2018s work. At first, I was very confused because of the sound of the guitar as to what it was. Suddenly, upon listening to the whole thing, I realised Glen Campbell had stopped by the studio and they recorded this little gem on a late December night in 1978. The remaining members of the Waylors helped put the picture together. It quickly became one of my favourite recordings that my dad ever made and I knew I had to have a whole album centered around it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shooter shared the first installment of newly uncovered songs last year with\u00a0Songbird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBack in 2024 when I opened my dad\u2019s personal recording archives, I found a treasure trove of unheard recordings. It was a life-altering event and immediately ignited a feeling of urgency to get these recordings out there to our family of fans who had so loyally kept him alive by listening to and singing his music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year I released Songbird and I was so touched and delighted at how well-received this music was for my dad. With his voice exalted, I was very excited to deliver on my promise for more music. So, here it goes! I give to you guys: Diamonds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the process of combing through and cataloging all of his recordings, I started to get a grasp on all of the music that had not been heard before, and a story started to emerge in my mind. The way I wanted to reveal all of this music to the world was part of my job. With Songbird I knew it would be an emotional journey, hearing Waylon, in his prime, sing new songs to us was going to hit hard. A set of songs almost immediately presented itself to me as Songbird. But there was a second set forming, anchored by the mysterious song \u201cDiamonds\u201d. It was a higher energy album, a \u201cyounger man\u2019s\u201d album, if you will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I immediately knew which songs were attaching themselves to the second album, and they all shared stories about the rollercoaster of relationships and unrequited love. Among the many Jessi Colter songs I found in the batch, two stood out as part of what Diamonds was becoming, so I selected them to add to the album to weave the tale a little more colorfully. Again, the Waylors and legendary harp player Mickey Raphael helped me close the book on a few of these songs. We had a blast. Now, I\u2019m done and Diamonds is in your hands. Pour yourself a cup of something, turn down the lights and let\u2019s take a ride together.\u201d\u00a0<strong>\u2013 Shooter Jennings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical copies (CDs, LPs, Cassettes) and downloads of\u00a0\u2018Diamonds&#8217;\u00a0will be available on 13th November, and the album will be available to stream on all digital platforms starting 11th December via Son of Jessi\/Thirty Tigers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/waylonshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>PRE-ORDER<\/strong><\/a><strong>\/<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/waylonjennings.ffm.to\/diamonds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>PRE-SAVE<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<em>DIAMONDS<br \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source entertainment-focus.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shooter Jennings has announced that a new album of previously unheard songs by his father Waylon Jennings, will be released this year. \u2018Diamonds&#8217; will be available on CD, LP, Cassette and Download on 13th November 2026 with the album arriving on streaming on 11th December.
