Waylon Jennings – The Eagle

The Eagle is an album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on Epic Records in 1990. It was the first of his two solo albums on the label, which he joined after a two-year stay at MCA. This was also the last new Waylon Jennings album to be made available on LP; commercially in Europe, and only through the Columbia House record club in the US.

The selections themselves are a mixture of fast-paced songs and slower ballads. "Wrong", a humorous track about a relationship that turned awry, was Jennings' final top ten country hit, reaching #5 on the charts. The album also yielded the minor hits "What Bothers Me Most". Additionally, a music video for "Wrong", directed by Robert Deaton and George J. Flanigen IV, was filmed and released. The Eagle was the singer's final top ten record, reaching #9 on the country charts; it also briefly appeared on the pop charts, with its highest position being #172.

Waylon Jennings' "The Eagle" was released on July 1990 by Epic Records. It was his first of two solo albums with the label after two years at MCA. This album marked the end of new Waylon Jennings albums available on LP (except in Europe and through Columbia House record clubs in the US). "The Eagle" leans into a mix of genres, including the classic country sound Jennings is known for and outlaw country.

The album offered a final top ten hit for Jennings, "Wrong," which reached number five on the charts. Another single, "What Bothers Me Most," also charted but with a lower position. A music video was filmed for "Wrong" to further promote the album. "The Eagle" itself reached number nine on the country charts and even made a brief appearance on the pop charts at number 172.
