Shannon McNally - The Waylon Sessions - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2013 album from the American singer/songwriter. The album, which is a collection of Bobby Charles songs, is a musical collaboration with the legendary Dr. John. Everybody knows Bobby Charles through his songs. Charles wrote such instantly recognizable hits as 'See You Later Alligator, Walking to New Orleans' and 'But I Do,' but the reclusive singer/songwriter, who passed away in 2010, is relatively unknown for his own recordings. This album puts the spotlight back on the songs and the man who wrote them.

Arriving three years after they burst on to the scene with their iconic debut, Descendents' I Don't Want To Grow Up was originally released on D. Boon and Mike Watt's New Alliance Records. The album was recorded after vocalist Milo Aukerman returned from college, and is the first of two Descendents releases to feature guitarist Ray Cooper. It found the band leaning even harder into their penchant for irresistible melodies, often with a much brighter sound than what could be found on Milo Goes To College. This sonic evolution helped the band evade falling into a sophomore slump, and only strengthened their already-cemented legacy.
