Forever Young
Studio album by Kitty Wells
Released	1974
Genre	Country
Label	Capricorn

The album was Wells' first after leaving Decca Records and signing with Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia. Instead of recording with the Nashville musicians she had known for years, she was backed by "long-haired" rock musicians, including pianist Chuck Leavell of The Allman Brothers Band and Toy Caldwell of The Marshall Tucker Band.[3][4]

The song, "Forever Young", was released as a single before the release of the album.[5] Speaking to the difference between her Nashville sessions and her experience at Capricorn, Wells noted that she was accustomed to cutting four songs in a three-hour session in Nashville, whereas Capricorn spent 12 hours just on a single track, "Forever Young".[3]

Allmusic gave the album two-and-a-half stars.[2] The album was also panned at the time of its release by critic Gary Palmer who wrote: "'Kitty Wells Forever Young' is enough to make you grow old fast."[6]
