I remain unconvinced you are an American.

Elvis Costello did a decent country album, but had the advantage of George Jones's expertise. As all those old country greats are up in Boot Hill now, perhaps Garth Brooks will produce it if Morrissey really is looking for a change. He isn't though, is he? He really isn't.
If he had the material he once had there would be no poring over old Waylon Jennings song lyrics to divine a meaning which almost certainly isn't there. The two best Morrissey albums of recent years were James's La Petite Mort and Martin Rossiter's The Defenestration of Saint Martin. Even if Morrissey was still capable of a lyric as poignant as Three Points On A Compass, for example, his current collaborators are certainly unlikely to be able produce a melody to do it justice.
For the fun of it I'm looking at the nearly eighty old country songs I have on my phone and it's hard to see how any of those could be adapted for Morrissey without career ending hilarity ensuing. Big Iron would get the east enders chuckling, Harper Valley PTA? By The Time I Get To Fleetwood? A Morrissey country album sounds fun initially, but country is about as far from Morrissey's roots as, well, flamenco. He might have better luck with an album in the style of Kevin Rowland's My Beauty, a superb album rather let down by an ill-advised concept.
If I was still a Morrissey fan I'd be more concerned at the lack of any new original material. You might have thought at least one new song might have found its way into the set list.
There is probably no reason to overthink any possible explanation for this. Either his new songs are so wonderful he doesn't want to unveil them just yet or he has nothing except a few ditties not deemed good enough for World Peace. Imagine that.
Let's face it Steven doesn't live a lifestyle that gives him anything to be creative with anymore, things have been this way for a long time now. He made his way and enjoys living a life of Royalty/luxury, which is fair enough apart from the fact that he seems to think he can have the best of both worlds, it doesn't work like that in the real world even on paper it's a no brainer.
Steven likes to talk the bullshit talk and come across to the yoof dat he's up der hands on saving animals all around the world !
BULLSHIT ! He's used this gimmick about animals with great effect over his career. He's never done 4ck all hands on at the coal face as far as animal projects go, why would he ? He's far to busy creating the dirtiest global footprint in the world performing the same old shit hits of yesteryear with some recent shitter than shit tit floppers whilst flogging various t-shirt hard man imagery tat and trash. This week Prince Harry has made Silly Steven look a right stupid twunt ! That's right Prince Harry has been out in Africa raising awareness and looking after ' Der Animuls innit '. And what does Silly lad do exactly ? Oh yes P E T A tell him now and then about some form of animal cruelty that goes on in the countries he performs the same old shit hits and tit floppers from world peace so he can release statements via TTY so he comes across all animal super hero ! If animals had brains they would hate him for all the money he has robbed of their backsides.
When has anyone actually seen any evidence of this crank doing anything concrete for animals ? Oh yes he can donate money but that's so easy you can do it from your bed these days.
He talks bollocks about the planet, animals, music, The Smiths, Royalty (that's rich as well), the United KingDum,British Falkland Islands, Edd Shearon/Sam Smith, Beckham's, Cheese, Cancer etc etc etc !
He'd love to go back to the old days but we cannot cling to those dreams anymore, his Royalties bought him luxuries and his greed and luxuries KILLED HIM !
