'Cedartown, Georgia' is the eighth studio album by Waylon Jennings, released in 1971 by RCA Victor. Produced again by Danny Davis, the record continues Jennings' exploration toward a more authentic and less commercial sound, with songs addressing rural life and personal struggles.
Recorded at RCA Studios in Nashville between 1970 and 1971, the album includes the title track 'Cedartown, Georgia', a composition by Billy Joe Shaver that Jennings popularized. Also notable is 'The Last Letter', a song that became a minor hit on the country charts.
Although it did not achieve classic album status, 'Cedartown, Georgia' is valued by Jennings' fans as a coherent work in his transition toward outlaw country. Danny Davis' production maintains a balance between the traditional Nashville sound and Jennings' growing rebelliousness.
