Compass is a renowned recording studio originally based in Nassau, Bahamas. Founded in 1977 by Chris Blackwell and directed by Alex Sadkin, the studio quickly gained popularity thanks to its relaxed tropical setting and talented session musicians. Artists such as Grace Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Robert Palmer, and Joe Cocker have all recorded at Compass Point Studios.

After Sadkin's passing in 1987, the studio faced a period of decline. However, in 1992, on Blackwell's commission, the studios underwent a complete restructuring led by Terry Manning who also took over management responsibilities. Following this restructure, Compass Point operated with increasing success until September 2010.

In response to local "socio-political" incidents that made it untenable to continue doing public business in The Bahamas, Blackwell and Manning announced via the now-defunct studio website that they were relocating due to these circumstances. They emphasized that anyone claiming to be part of Compass Point Studios after their departure was using the trademarked name inappropriately.

Recorded with an all-star band and featuring special guests like Jessi Colter, Buddy Miller, Rodney Crowell, and Lukas Nelson, Shannon McNally’s extraordinary new collection,The Waylon Session’s isn’t so much a tribute to Waylon Jennings as it is a recontextualization: a nuanced, feminine rendering of a catalog long considered a bastion of hetero-masculinity. That’s not to say McNally has a softer, gentler take on the songs of Jennings and his outlaw compatriots here; in fact, just the opposite. Over and over again, she manages to locate a smoldering intensity — a searing hurt buried deep within the music’s deceptively simple poetry — and she hones in on it with a surgical precision.McNally doesn’t swap pronouns or couch her delivery with a wink; she simply plays it straight, singing her truth as a divorced single mother in her 40’s in all its beauty, pain, and power. The result is that rare covers record that furthers our understanding of the originals, an album of classics that challenges our perceptions and assumptions about just what made them classics in the first place.
