Songbird is the 55th studio album by Willie Nelson released by Lost Highway Records on October 31, 2006.

It peaked at #87 on the Billboard 200 on November 18, 2006[7] Only two brand new compositions, Nelson's "Back to Earth" and Adams' "Blue Hotel", appear on Songbird.

Regarding his role of producer for the album, Ryan Adams states that he: learned a lot of life lessons mostly.

It reminded me kind of how Jack and Meg White work, the way that their limits make them seem stronger and more able to be resourceful and economical.

It was cool because it made everyone listen really hard, and I think it enabled Willie to throw the band a little more, and suck them in.
