"Black on Black" is an album by Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Victor in 1982. The second Jennings record, after 1977's "Ol' Waylon", to be produced by Chips Moman, who had collaborated with Willie Nelson on "Always on My Mind", Nelson's most successful album, "Black on Black" features a different sound than most Jennings albums of the period, prominently including electric pianos and backing vocals, the latter performed primarily by Jennings' wife, Jessi Colter. One of many re-recordings of Jennings' "Just to Satisfy You", this time with Willie Nelson, hit the top of the country charts; a cover of Johnny Cash's classic "Folsom Prison Blues" is also of note. "Black on Black", unlike most of Jennings' chart-topping solo albums of the previous several years, reached #3 on the country charts, ultimately ending the singer's string of highly successful releases.
