As I recall this song was released the summer of 74. Waylon won a Grammy for best Country album in 1070. He won CMA Male Vocalist in 1975 .He broke out nation wide in 1976 and his Album "Wanted the Outlaws" that same year was the first Country LP to sell 1 million copies. Another great LB was 1973's "Honky Tonk Heros"

My first concert was about 42 years ago. I was 5 or 6 my parents took me to the highway man concert. During the concert Waylon saw me dancing in the outdoor concert and called me up on stage I got to sit on his lap and sing along with a couple of songs. Amazing day for a young child

He is part of the 'Outlaw' Country. Those that were bucking the corporate take over of Nashville and the country scene. These artists wanted to do things there way, and the 'corporate' bosses wanted everyone to sound the same. He has a lot of good songs and his duets with his equally talented wife Jessi Colter are really good too. Best concert I ever went to was Waylon and Willie at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver. It rained on us and them and it was a soaking party!!! It was awesome!!!

Waylon Jennings wanted to do his music his way. He wanted to use his own musicians in his recording sessions and control what he put in the album. He was sick of butting heads with the Nashville music establishment controlling his music So Jennings, and others, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joe Shaver and others decided to make music their way. That's why and how the outlaw country music got started. Waylon Jennings was a pioneer way ahead of his time.

Waylon was the first leaving RCA studios during a recording session and taking his band to Cowboy Central studios owned by Tompall Glaser. That's also where "Wanted: The Outlaws", with Waylon, Tompall, Jessi and Willie was recorded. It was the first platinum record from Nashville. First multi platinum also.

Way back when, 1972 in Austin,Tx at the birthplace and date of progressive country, Michael Martin Murphy's (another country star) wife ran a second floor walkup musicians supply shop on Guadalupe (the drag) St right across from Univ Texas. It was a hangout for all the founders of Progressive Country. MMM, Willie Nelson, Rusty Wier and our man Waylon used to be there often passing time sharing music and road stories. I got to jam a bit with all of them back then. Got to be drinkin' (and ahem) buddies with most of them as well. One of the places they played often was the Armadillo World Headquarters (the actual birthplace of progressive country) an old huge open building with a beer garden outside. Many, many great memories of that music shop and the Armadillo. Many memories of clubbing in Austin or Dallas with many of them including Waylon. And great fun was had by all.

Now you should check out Struggle Jennings "Outlaw Shit" featuring Yelawolf and Waylon Jennings. It's a remix of Waylon Jennings' song called "Outlaw Shit." Struggle released it right before he got locked up in prison, and that was the first song that I discovered from Struggle. I've been a fan of Waylon since I was a kid, and never heard of Struggle before that. I'm 29 now. It was weird to me, because I loved the saw and immediately saw people talking in the comment section of how he just got locked up and was going to be in there for about 5 years. I was bummed about it. Then those 5 years seemed to fly by, and I randomly rediscovered him doing "Fall in the Fall" with Jelly Roll. I was surprised to see he was already out, and shocked at his transformation.

My parents played music at the same tavern when I was little. i think the bar was called the Gallopin' Goose,or something like that. Waylon was sitting at the bar when my Dad sat me a few seats from him. Waylon wasnt famous at the time,so my Dad really notice him,telling the bartender to give me the dice cup so I could play with it,and a coke. He went in to see the manager of the place to let him know we had arrived and to find out who's set was first. Waylon was watching me throw the dice from the leather cup,and asked me if I wanted to play Horse. That was the game normally played with them. I dont know if they still play it. We played for about half an hour until my Dad came out. He got a can of beer and we left. Waylon was really nice to a little kid. I never forgot that little half an hour. :}

Willie Nelson was in Austin Tx and noticed his crowd was getting more hippies and Bikers in it compared to the standard country audience of the time. So he called Waylon and told him things were different in Austin with a new younger crowd. So after a short while performing there in Austin they decided they no longer needed Nashville and their rules and contracts. Recorded and album that featured Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings Tom Paul Glazier and Jessie Colter (Waylon's Wife). It went gold fast. It was recorded in Austin in Tom Paul Glazier's Studio. Boom Outlaw country was born because Nashville considered them to be rebels against the system. Some Lady there in the office forget the name called them outlaws and the name stuck.

Pancho & Lefty Waylon and Willie Nelson classic! The theme to the original Dukes of Hazzard tv show - He was the Narrator of the show. Line in the song " my mama doesn't understand they keep showin my hands and not my face on tv" referred to the tv show did exactly that showed his hands on his guitar but never his face. He is one of the OG Outlaw country artists. Though he got his start in Rock n Roll. February 1959 after the band he was in finished a show, the lead singer and another's singer and Waylon were supposed to fly to next show. Another act asked if he could go, Waylon gave up his seat and in doing so saved his own life. Seat he gave up was for The Big Bopper, he was to be seated with Ritchie Valens and his band mate? None other than his best friend and musical legend Buddy Holly. 5 minutes later, they were gone plane crashed on take off... waylon struggled with survivor's guilt for years kater

Outlaw Country Legend. 🤠🔥✌🏼😮💨 Outlaw music: movement of American country music in the 1970s spearheaded by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Sometimes called progressive country, outlaw music was an attempt to escape the formulaic constraints of the Nashville Sound (simple songs, the use of studio musicians, and lush production), country’s dominant style in the 1960s. An outgrowth of the honky-tonk style pioneered by Hank Williams, it mixed folk’s introspective lyrics, rock’s rhythms, and country’s instrumentation. Like Southern rock and the country rock that developed in Los Angeles, outlaw music was a rock and roots music hybrid that had a local flavour.

Waylon was straight laced artist for years with Buddy Holly and in his solo career. Then he went through some depression after awhile with Buddy's death . His music career suffered for it. In the early to mid seventies he hooked up with Willie Nelson and drinking alcohol and smoking weed . They changed there image to Jean's coybow boots and the Bars and roadhouse seen. Which became known as the outlaws of country music. They started that whole rebellious state in Nashville at that time. Hope this helps you a little. You should check out Willie and Waylon songs together. Mommas don't let your baby's grow up to be cowboys. Waylons song I've always been crazy

Just to add to the Buddy Holly and the crash bit and why Waylon felt so bad and went into a bit of a depression on Buddy's death. Waylon should have been on the plane with Buddy that fateful day but gave his seat to I think it was the Big Bopper as the Big Bopper wasn't well. He also felt guilty because as they were leaving Waylon said in a back handed comment "I hope the plane crashes" and obviously it did. Although he said it as a joke he blamed himself for many years after the crash.

@Yance Taylor All evidence that I have read and seen about the incident indicate that Waylon offered the Big Bopper his seat voluntarily. Maybe you have read or saw different and I am not saying I am right as facts get murky over the years. But that is not the point I was making, the point is that he should have been on the plane and that and the fact that he said what I put in the previous post made him feel guilty over it for many years later. Also I think we can both agree that the sad thing is that we lost 3 great singers that day and for it not being for that twist of fate, we would have never have had the many years of great songs from in my opinion one of the greatest country singers of all time. For that we should be thankful. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mp6Bvqh6pZ1zm4o

Waylon, and Cash were roommates. Definitely the same generation, and similar influences. I think the term "Outlaw" arose from doing country outside the accepted norm. I saw Waylon, in an interview, once where he said if they can use our instruments why can't we use theirs? He wasn't limited in scope. That went outside the "tradition" and made him an outlaw. In the same interview he mentioned a guitar pick... it's an amplification device so why is it allowed? I honestly relate to his way of thinking... He was just the man...

Outlaw country originals: Waylon, Willie, Jessie Colter (Waylon's Wife), Tom Paul Glaser, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Allen Coe, Johnny Bush (wrote Whiskey River). Dive deep into the original outlaw music of the early to mid 70's. Then go to the Honky Tonk sounds: Mickey Gilley, Ray Price, Faron Young, Gary Stewart, Tammy Wynette, Barbara Mandrel, Johnny Lee, and so many more. Then, follow with the Cajon music: Isaac Peyton Sweat, Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke, Buckwheat Zydeco, and many many more. There are so many facets to country. Those above plus bluegrass, Western Swing, the Bakersfield Sound, mainstream country, country gospel, to scratch the surface. Even a little Tejano mix with Freddie Fender and Johnny Rodriguez.

Okay Gitana. A little bit of music history for you. Are you familiar with Don McLeans song American Pie? It talks about the day the music died. That referred to a plane crash that killed the great Buddy Holly along with The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. Well Waylon was playing guitar with Buddy back then and was supposed to be on that plane. He and another musician gave up their seats on the plane. Waylon suffered some horribly depressed times for quite a while after Buddy's death. He was also pursuing a solo career and writing songs. He ended up in Nashville eventually becoming close friends with guys like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams Jr. and a number of others. These guys all liked and appreciated classic country, but all had a liking for more beat driven music too. So the Outlaw Country sound developed. It was a bit rowdy and a bit less polite. Great stuff though. Waylon was also a part of a "super group" called The Highwaymen along with Cash, Nelson and Kristofferson. (Check them out). They got started in 1985. There was a very popular TV show in the states called The Dukes of Hazzard. The beginning of the show was their theme song and they just showed a pair of hands playing guitar. That player and singer was Waylon. Waylon was married for over 30 years to Jessie Colter who was also a writer and performer. (Check out her song "I'm not Lisa" and their duet "Storms never last".) Okay, I'm out of breath. Lots of great music still to come for you. Enjoy the ride. Cheers!

You might like this story: Waylon and Johnny Cash were good buddies. I recently watched an interview on KZitem where Struggle told a short story about Johnny Cash. He said they was having a little celebration at a skating rink when he was a little kid, to celebrate Johnny Cash becoming Shooter Jennings' godfather. (Shooter was Waylon's son) He said he skated up to Johnny Cash and said, "I don't have no god-grandfather. And I ain't got no daddy." And Johnny said, "I'll be your god-grandfather." Thought that was a sweet story.
