Vinyl Me, Please have a lot in store this year. Earlier this month, the label shared the new VMP Rock selections, featuring The Strokes, Sublime, and more. Now they have announced the 18th edition of VMP Anthology: The Waylon Jennings Story.
The collection will include eight albums: Lonesome, On’ry and Mean (1973), This time (1974), The ramblin’ man (1974), dream my dreams (1975), Are you ready for the country (1976), Old Waylon (1977), I have always been crazy (1978), and Leather and lace (with Jessi Colter, 1981). It will be limited to 1,000 copies. It’s available now and ships this fall.
“After making our VMP anthology dedicated to Willie Nelson (Willie Nelson’s Story), I knew immediately that our next country-focused box had to be Waylon-focused,” said Andrew Winistorfer, executive producer and liner notes writer for Story of Waylon Jennings, and Senior Director of Music and Linguistics. editorial of VMP. “Many of his albums haven’t been reissued in ages, and the copies you can find in record stores are some of the most loved, played, and ultimately beaten records you can find. I probably wanted to introduce the best series of studio albums in country music history in this audiophile, high quality way, and it was an honor to work on this project with Waylon’s estate to try and capture the essence and the wild mercurial sound by Waylon in just eight albums in a box set. I think we’ve done it.
