Country rocker Shooter Jennings is working on an unlikely tribute album to disco king Giorgio Moroder.

The project, which will feature guest vocals from Marilyn Manson, will feature some of Moroder's biggest dancefloor fillers reworked as rock songs.

Jennings tells Classic Rock, "It's an all-live band but we're doing all Giorgio tunes - stuff from 1977's From Here To Eternity and things like that. To me it sounds like Queens Of The Stone Age when you have a live band doing all his stuff.

"We have fiddle and all kinds of interesting instruments involved... I'm not doing an electronic dance music thing; it's very much a live performance format."

Manson will sing on Jennings' cover of David Bowie's 1981 track Cat People (Putting Out The Fire), which was co-written by Moroder.

Jennings admits he came up with the idea for the odd new album while visiting Moroder's Los Angeles club in the basement of the Standard Hotel.

He adds, "They have a date on Saturday nights called Club Giorgio. I don't dance but it's fun to go there because I'll sit and drink and watch people dance. Sometimes Quincy Jones will be there, or Russell Simmons. I'm just kinda sneaking in the background, hoping that Giorgio shows up and I can finally get to meet him one day."
