Music Man / Black on Black
Digitally remastered coupling of 2 long players from the Jennings canon from the 1980's.  "Music Man" was Jennings last Number One album, spurned up by the inclusion of the "Theme To The Dukes Of Hazzard", the hit TV show that he occasionally appeared on and recorded this hit theme.  It also includes a curious yet effective rendering of Steely Dan's "Do It Again".  "Black On Black" was produced by Chips Moman, who had just produced pal Willie Nelson's chart topping "Always On My Mind" album.  From the dark cover on down, the sound here was reflective of the time, using production methods that tried to make the studio experience sound more like the live experience....in this case, with mixed results.  Still, Willie comes around to help save the day with his duet on "Just To Satisfy You" and the ever faithful Jessi Colter lends backing vocals throughout both of these albums.
