During his last years of life, Jennings recorded several tracks along with his steel guitarist/bassist Robby Turner. The recordings consisted on twelve songs that Jennings considered that expressed his feelings and reflections at the time. Featuring vocals and guitar playing by Jennings, with the accompaniment of Turner on the bass, further instrumentation was planned to be added, but the project was stopped when Jennings died in 2002. Ten years later, Turner gathered along with Reggie Young, Richie Albright, Tony Joe White, and other members of Jennings' band,
The Waymore Blues Band, to complete the tracks. Eight of the twelve unreleased songs were written by Jennings, with the addition of Tony Joe White's original "Goin' Down Rockin" and
Willie Nelson's "Sad Songs and Waltzes". A version of "She's No Good for Me" was originally recorded for ''
Waymore's Blues (Part II) (as "No Good for Me") and a version of "Wasting Time" was recorded on Right for the Time'' (written as "Wastin' Time"). "I Do Believe" was performed solo by Waylon for
The Highwaymen's 1995 album
The Road Goes On Forever, while "Never Say Die" and "Goin' Down Rockin'" were both featured on the live album
Never Say Die: Live shortly before Jennings's death. ==Release==
