Jewel Duets With Merle Haggard "For The Record"
What happens when a barefoot, breathy folk princess teams up with
the original "Okie From Muskogee?" We'll find out when the results
of Jewel's studio session with country legend Merle Haggard
surface.
According to a spokesperson for Haggard, Jewel recorded two
duets with the 60-year-old singer-songwriter (who's perhaps best
known for his 1969 anti-hippie anthem "Okie") last Thursday in his
Northern California studio.
The Jewel-enhanced new versions of Haggard's classic tracks
"Silver Wings" and "That's the Way Love Goes" will appear on
"Merle Haggard: For the Record," a two-CD, 43-song collection
from the man who was as well known for his law-breaking,
booze-guzzling exploits as he was for his C&W hits.
For the most part, the collection will feature Haggard's re-recordings
of his own previously released songs. Other guests on the project
will include Willie Nelson, Brooks & Dunn, and Alabama, a band
that's enjoying a crossover hit of its own thanks to a collaboration
with 'N Sync (see "'N Sync Expands Horizons With Alabama,
Gloria Estefan").
"For the Record" will be released on the new RCA-distributed label
TBA Records, and it's scheduled to hit stores on August 24. A
pay-per-view special of the same name will be broadcast live from
Las Vegas sometime in October.
