Walking the Line is an album by American country music artists Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Willie Nelson, released in 1987.
Background
[edit]Much like the successful seventies album Wanted! The Outlaws, Walking the Line features duets and solo cuts taken from various albums and repackaged as a single album. Jones and Haggard had recorded a duet album, A Taste of Yesterday's Wine in 1982 (the title cut having been by Nelson) while Haggard and Nelson had collaborated on Pancho & Lefty the same year. It reached number 39 on the Billboard country albums chart.[1] All three artists had been under contract to CBS Records in the early eighties. The album does not feature a song with all three singing.
