Waylon Jennings attended an Old 97’s gig in 1996, and later that year joined Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond, Rhett Miller and Philip Peeples in a studio in Nashville to cut two tracks "Iron Road" and "The Other Shoe". The youthful energy of Old 97’s with the classic delivery of Waylon Jennings. Sadly, Waylon passed away and these recordings — some of Jennings’ last — never saw the light of day.
"Iron Road" would eventually arrive as a live version on 2005’s Alive & Wired along with "The Other Shoe" (which first appeared on Old 97’s second album, 1995's Wreck Your Life.) To make it even more special, this release has four more previously unissued demos: "Visiting Hours" (a live version appeared on 2011’s The Grand Theater Vol. 2), "Fireflies” (re-recorded by Rhett Miller for his acclaimed 2006 solo album The Believer.) plus "London I Know" & "Born On A Train".
