Turn the Page is the thirty-second studio album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Records in 1985.

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.[1] Jennings was inspired to remain drug free mainly because of his son.[1]

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.[2]
