Son of legendary country music ‘outlaw’ says he has ‘treasure trove’ of unreleased music

Waylon Jennings left behind a trove of full-band recordings, his son Shooter Jennings has revealed. Shooter Jennings said fans can look forward to archival releases in 2025.The son of an all-time country music legend announced over the Father’s Day weekend that he has found a trove of unreleased work by his father, an archive of full-band music and documentation “way beyond my wildest fantasies.”

Waylon Jennings, who died in 2002, was a prominent figure in the “outlaw” country movement of the 1970s. Signature songs include “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys” with Willie Nelson, “Luckenbach, Texas,” “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean,” “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line” and “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.”

Shooter Jennings began his post with the story of a locked “storage room” in the house he grew up in. “I knew what was in those boxes was my dad’s work,” he wrote. He said that after his father’s death, tapes were collected from storage and various studios and their contents transferred to digital drives. But he wasn’t ready to grapple with them until recently: “I didn’t have the time, the tools, or the resources,” he wrote. “Or maybe I just wasn’t ready for it.”That changed, he said, when he found himself with the right studio resources and an engineer ready to assist.

Shooter Jennings said the material in the archive will take some finishing work before it’s ready for release. But it’s more than rough demos, he said: It’s a “treasure trove of previously unheard full band Waylon Jennings multi-track recordings from the 70s and early 80s.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
