Waylon Jennings' health was failing when he recorded basic tracks for a new LP; per the country legend's request, his bandmates have finally completed the album, 10 years after his death. It's a rowdier version of his pal Johnny Cash's American Recordings – raw songs delivered in a weary but still magnificent baritone. On "I Do Believe," a dying man reckons with "a faith that's never been that strong." And on "Belle of the Ball," Jennings sings of a has-been "dreamer, rhymer and singer of songs" who, saved by love, goes out a winner, a dignified badass to the very end.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
