This weeks KLAW Country Song Showdown takes on a theme - Cowboys!

Today's KLAW Classic was the 12th and Final Number One Song for Waylon Jennings.  It was included as a duet with Willie Nelson on Chris Young's "Man I Want To Be" album.  Here's "Rose In Paradise".  

In February, we reported that legendary country outlaw Waylon Jennings‘ family had determined to celebrate the singer’s life and career with a new album of primarily unreleased material. This week, the release date and track listing of ‘Goin’ Down Rockin’: The Last Recordings’ was finally announced. Due out September 11, 2012, the record will feature 12 songs, 11 of which Jennings wrote.

This week marked the 10th anniversary of Waylon Jennings‘ death, and in celebration of his life and career, his family announced plans to release an album of unreleased material. ‘Goin’ Down Rockin’: The Final Recordings’ will be released sometime this year.

Classic country this morning will spotlight some songs around the lady we aree all giving honor to this weekend - "Mom."
