Conway Twitty - Timeless (2017)

The tracks on this album, feature the unmistakable voice of Conway Twitty, and have never before been commercially available to the public until now. On May 24, 1972 Conway Twitty walked into Scotty Moore's Music City Recorders at 821 19th Avenue South in Nashville, and after a brief rehearsal and sound level check, the tape rolled and he recorded the songs you hear on this album.

The 1972 session was produced and mixed by Scotty Moore whois best known as the guitarist who helped launch Elvis Presley's career at Sun Records. The titles of many of these songs will be familiar to Conway Twitty fans, and these recordings reveal Twitty more laid-back and much more at ease than in the more precise atmosphere of the sessions that produced the commercial hits of these songs on his albums.

All of the recordings here have been enhanced and updated by Conway's daughter Joni Twitty Ryles and John Wesley Ryles along with Grammy Award winning engineer Mark Capps, pianist Ron Oates, guitarist Kevin Williams, and guitarist Tony Durante, all adding beautiful musical touches in taking this album into the contemporary country music era.

The new update also features added background vocals by John Wesley Ryles, while still maintaining the original authentic sounds from Conway's original guitar work, along with the piano playing of Hargus "Pig" Robbins, and Joe E. Lewis on the bass and Tomy "Pork Chop" Markham on the drums.
