Stars Salute Jennings On Tribute Disc
Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, and Metallica lead singer James Hetfield are among the artists slated to appear on a forthcoming Waylon Jennings tribute album. Due in March, the RCA set will include one of the late country great's last recorded songs, the piano balled "The Dream," as well as selections from his vast catalog recorded by the likes of Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam, and John Mellencamp.
As reported by Billboard earlier this year, journalist Hazel Smith will executive produce the project. Smith is working with RCA Label Group VP of A&R Renee Bell to oversee the album. Each artist will produce and deliver their own track for the collection.
Jennings died Feb. 13, 2002 at the age of 64 after a long battle with diabetes-related health problems. He recorded 60 albums and had 16 No. 1 singles on Billboard's country charts during a career that spanned five decades.
