In 1989, Del Shannon released 11 country tracks on a cassette-only format.

These tracks included four sides from his Warner Brothers singles (Stranger On The Run, Beautiful Body, In My Arms Again, and You Can't Forgive Me), along with seven other previously unreleased tracks from the 1983 - 1985 sessions in Nashville ("You Still Live Here", "She's Always On My Mind", "Little By Little", "Nobody's Business", "Part Time Lover", "Broken Down Angel", and "Miss You Like I do").

This cassette of 11 country numbers, titled simply, "The Nashville Sessions," was offered exclusively to members of Del Shannon's Appreciation Society (fan club). A 12th track, "I Go To Pieces", also exists and was professionally recorded, though it never made the cassette release. The first set of tracks were recorded by Del Shannon and the Wolves, the second set was produced by Paul Worley, who later went on to produce The Dixie Chicks. This album has never seen a release on vinyl, but finally surfaced in 2023 on the 12-CD Compendium set by Edsel Records.
