Cedartown, Georgia (Waylon Jennings Album)
''Cedartown, Georgia'' is a studio album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released in 1971 on RCA Nashville. Background Jennings' second release of 1971 finds the singer moving further away from the Nashville Sound that had dominated his early albums at RCA. Its title track, a morbid tale of murder, reached #14 on the country singles chart, and the LP also contains "It's All Over Now," written by Waylon's wife Jessi Colter, who duets with Jennings on Paul Simon's " Bridge Over Troubled Water" and also appears on the album cover with him. Like most country albums during this period, ''Cedartown, Georgia'' contains songs that were recorded during numerous sessions that stretched back over periods of months and even years, depriving the album of any sense of continuity. As Michael Striessguth's laments in his book ''Outlaw: Waylon, Willie, Kris, and the Renegades of Nashville'', "Because RCA-Nashville failed to embrace the idea of the concept album, it happily drop ...

Brian Hyland (born November 12, 1943) is an American pop singer and instrumentalist who was particularly successful during the early 1960s. He continued recording into the 1970s.

Although his status as a teen idol faded, he went on to release several country-influenced albums and had additional chart hits later in his career. Biography Hyland was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York City. He studied guitar and clarinet as a child, and sang in his church choir.
