Country-Folk
''Country-Folk'' is a 1969 album by Waylon Jennings featuring the Kimberlys on vocals released on RCA Victor.
==Background==
On ''Country-Folk'', Jennings worked with producer Danny Davis, a New York veteran who had produced Connie Francis and Nina Simone. RCA executive Chet Atkins, who also produced Jennings' albums, had called Waylon's 1966 debut ''Country-Folk'' in an attempt to market the singer to this new, younger audience, and this idea continued on ''Folk-Country''. Jennings, who was unhappy with the sound of his records at RCA despite decent sales, butted heads with his new producer. In Michael Striessguth's book ''Outlaw: Waylon, Willie, Kris, and the Renegades of Nashville'', Jennings guitarist Billy Ray Reynolds recalls, "Waylon liked Danny but the chemistry wasn't there. He () was a good guy but he had a little bit more of a New York attitude than Waylon was used to. They do things a little differently up there. They don't pull their punches."
The Kimberlys were a quartet consisting of two brothers from Oklahoma and their wives, who are also sisters. The liner notes state that they were familiar to other musicians in the Las Vegas area. Jennings intended to gain for them a wider audience with this album. Three of the songs on the album are written or co-written by Harold Gay, one of the members. The album is best remembered for its title track, which rose to #23 on the ''Billboard'' country charts and won a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group. In his autobiography, Jennings insisted he had a vision for the song from the start: "Danny and I got into it a couple of times over the arrangement. I knew exactly what I wanted the strings to do; I had to hum the parts. He probably had his own ideas. But the single got into the Top Twenty Five that fall...By then, everybody was more than happy to claim it was their idea."
