(1976)Dreaming My Dreams is an country music album released by Waylon Jennings on RCA Victor in 1975. The first of several number one records, it was released to great critical acclaim and considerable commercial success.
Several singles were released successfully: "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" backed with a live version of "Bob Wills is Still the King"—recorded at the Austin Opry House in 1974—reached #1, "Let's Help All the Cowboys (Sing the Blues)" had reached #2 earlier in 1975 as the flip side of Jennings's "Rainy Day Woman" single, and "Dreaming My Dreams with You" peaked at #10.
The album's original short liner notes, discussing how the human voice is the only instrument that manages to give a glimpse of the singer's soul, were written by Neil Diamond. Dreaming My Dreams was reissued in 2001 on Buddah Records, with two bonus tracks.
