The Eagle (album)

The Eagle is an album by 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. 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", "The Eagle" and "Where Corn Don't Grow", peaking at #66, #22 and #67, respectively; "Where Corn Don't Grow" was later covered by Travis Tritt on The Restless Kind (1996), Tritt's version bearing numerous similarities to Jennings'. 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.
