Paul Kennerley is an Englishman and he wrote the Jesse James album of which I was a part of along with Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm and Charlie Daniels. Paul Kennerly is one of those unique writers who can write on assignment. You can tell him what you want written and he can write it. Like he wrote the Jesse James album, and he also wrote White Mansions that Waylon was on. But he's written all these songs, and these two of his that I recorded—"Brand New Dance" with June Carter, and "That's the Truth"—we didn't ask him for 'em, but we had about six or eight Paul Kennerley songs to pick from. He's got some really good songs that I have on hold—course a lot of other people do, too, because he's such a great writer.
"I Wish I Was Crazy Again" is a song written by Bob McDill and introduced by the duet of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings on Cash's 1978 album I Would Like to See You Again.
