Turn the Page is the thirty-second studio album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Records in 1985.
Background Jennings recorded the album at a time when he was completely drug-free; this had not occurred in his career for about twenty years. In April 1984, Jennings rented a house in Arizona for himself, his wife Jessi Colter, and young son Shooter, and quit cocaine cold turkey, although he did not intend to quit for good. Jennings was inspired to remain drug free mainly because of his son.
Critical reception Turn the Page, the second-to-last studio album Jennings would release for RCA at a point when the demand for his music had already diminished significantly, reached #23 on the Billboard country albums chart. The album produced one hit: "Drinkin' and Dreamin,'" which reached #2, and #26 in Canada.
