Ésta es la lista de temas grabados por Mark Chesnutt para su inminente álbum "Outlaw", según ha hecho saber él mismo en su página de Facebook. El lanzamiento está previsto para este verano. Particularmente me encanta la inclusión de los dos temas de Kris Kristofferson:
Tracks
1. Black Rose
Written by: Billy Joe Shaver
Recorded by: Billy Joe Shaver in 1973 for his debut album "Old Five And Dimers"
Billy Joe Shaver slipped onto the recording scene very quietly in 1973. He was already heralded a fine songwriter by Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, but even they'd recorded one or two songs of his up to that point. After the issue of this debut album, however, the floodgates opened for Shaver with the aforementioned trio and Johnny Cash himself recording Billy Joe's songs -- a trend that continued 30 years later. "Black Rose" echoes the Band's "Cripple Creek" with its funky country shuffle.
Also recorded by: Waylon Jennings on Honky Tonk Heroes Album
Note: Black Rose was never released as a single but stands as one the first true "Outlaw" recordings
2. Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound
Written by: Hank Williams Jr
Recorded by: Hank Williams jr in 1979 for the Album "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound"
