The album 'It's Only Rock + Roll' was released in 1983 by RCA Victor, marking a shift towards a more rock-oriented sound in Waylon Jennings' career.
Produced by Jennings himself, the record includes collaborations with session musicians and reflects his interest in blending country with rock and roll, though it did not achieve the commercial success of his earlier works.
The album did not produce major country chart hits, but it is remembered for its defiant attitude and its title, which echoes the Rolling Stones song.
