Old Dogs is the singular album of the American country music supergroup Old Dogs, whose membership comprised country singers Jerry Reed, Bobby Bare, Mel Tillis and Waylon Jennings. The songs vary from comical to serious, and deal mainly with growing old and realizing that the music industry has moved on. The album was recorded live in studio, so audience applause can be heard between the tracks. The two discs come in different cases, and has different album art for them. The album was also issued as a single disc.
