- Waylon Jennings is often referred to as “The man who survived the day the music died”, referring to the day he gave up his seat on a plane that would later crash and kill some of the biggest names in the music industry at the time. Despite all of this, however, Waylon’s music career could not survive the way he could, and he would eventually give up on the craft just months after it seemed like he would climb to new heights.
Waylons Daughter Confirms Rumors His Last Words
Are You A Waylon Fan? 🤔
Come With Me should of been a hit for Waylon. So tragic. Luv this man. ❤❤
Yess
Y'all ought to do a vid on Billie Joe Shaver. Another country outlaw and quite a character. IMHO he's the greatest country-blues songwriter of my generation. When I saw him he got a stand O from the crowd when he told a guy repeatedly requesting a song to STFU.
Damn Right !!
Hell yes!
I worked for Waylon from 1979 to 1983 and it was an amazing experence. What a great person, artist, and entertainer. I have nothing but good things to say about him. He was very kind and intelligent. He was not the image he portrayd. Four years touring and recording all over the country, what an experience!
I'm very glad you got that experience with him. I couldn't agree with you more. 💯
I was introduced to his music as a young girl. Growing up in a artistic and musical family I was exposed to a variety of collective music, when I heard him I was instantly drawn in.
Fast forward to adult years well after we sadly lost our amazing Waylon it was such a splendid opportunity to had crossed paths with his son Terry. I always felt within my heart and soul as a young girl Waylon had something different, something unique and special about him but being young I didn't understand, there were was no way for a young girl to know how to articulate those feelings much less know proper words to use. Thru my research on Waylon and encountering his Son Terry, everything I'd felt as a young girl was definitely correct. Terry was another one of those gems. I see it in Terry's talented son Wade as well.
It broke my heart in two when Terry passed away. He was such a gem of a guy.
Thank you for sharing your story. I wanted to share to support your experience to reinforce what you stated was without a doubt absolutely spot on. 🎶💙🎸

THANK -YOU! it's nice to hear I was correct about someone I adored, while I never even got to SEE him in person@@truthteller8872
I cried like a baby when Waylon died. I saw him once in the 80's in Nashville walking down the road, but in the 90's I saw him in concert and he put on the best show. The next morning after the show, my wife and I went to an interstate truck stop to meet her brother and his family. My brother-n-law and were walking in and I saw Waylon sitting in a booth and I said "That guy looks like Waylon Jennings." and Waylon replied "I am Waylon Jennings" I spoke to him briefly and left him to his meal.
I can't say I have a favorite song, because I love em all. I really like the song called "Broken Promise Land"
Anyway, great video.
He was one of the most honest persons to have ever lived. He absolutely loved music and hated the music business.
got that right hoss.best of all time
I know that to be a fact.
My uncle worked for Waylon for 12 years. As a young musician, I was allowed several times to sit on the back of the stage at concerts. It was beyond my ability to describe. RIP Waylon and Rugus.
Waylon Jennings is my favorite musical artist. His unique guitar sound and choice of songs (he also wrote many great songs himself) contribute to that. But his incredible voice and vocal styling were solid gold. I saw him live in 1989 and 1996, which I'm grateful for. I do admire his musical integrity, and highly respect his choice to get clean of drugs. There was so much more to him than the Outlaw image, though he admittedly fit the definition in Nashville. His love for Jessi inspired me so much that I looked for my own "Jessi" for years. I found her. Ironically, like Waylon she suffered from diabetes and other health issues, and like Waylon complications eventually took her sweet life. One of my favorite songs he recorded is the one he said was probably his favorite, "Dreaming My Dreams". He said that he believed once you've loved someone you always will. There's no call for bitterness and meanness. You just have to put that part of your past in it's own place and open your heart to new love. Does that sound like an Outlaw? Not at all. But the song that's a candidate for my favorite is "I've Always Been Crazy". That one clearly describes a man with a wild streak. Over the years I noticed that after he got clean Waylon became more serene. His famous sense of humor shone brighter, and he had new energy in music and life. But when his health began to fail significantly he seemed to bristle more about Nashville returning to it's old ways and creating stars rather than nurturing artists. His short time with The Waymore Blues Band, the "band of his dreams", resulted in a great live album and video, and he fought hard to survive, physically and professionally. My wife and I considered "Freedom to Stay" to be "our song". But Waylon had so many great songs and albums to his name. RIP Hoss.
Waylon has been one of my favorite recording artist EVER. At around 10 years old, I fell in love with a woman named Daisy, a car named after a famous General and Waylon's voice, all found in a new TV show. I've seen Waylon in concert and collected many of his albums. I cried the day he died. The music he created will be with me until the day I pass.
I am a great fan of Waylon, there has been no one else like him and never will be
I am an Aussie..and a diehard CM devotee... I was fortunate enough to see Waylon in concert when he toured Australia with Willie Nelson and Billy Joe Shaver, back in the early '90's. For my money, Waylon stole the show. His interaction with the fans was awesome.
RIP Waylon and Billy Joe
Waylon was one of a kind I love everything about him & his music I am very glad he decided to spend more time with his family He is missed very much but he is a legend no one can touch his reputation in music rver
I saw Waylon, Hank Jr. the Crickets live in Omaha 1979 I was 16. We had 3 row floor, center stage seats. Hank Jr and the Crickets were the opening groups. I remember the Crickets and Waylon noticing us kids in front just how we were rocking out to the music, both would look over at us and give us smirking grin. Waylon had a bottle of either Jim Beam or Jack Daniels sitting on a amplifier just behind the curtain, and every so often he’d walk over and take a swig.
That could be but Waylon wasn"t much of a drinker.
I am a huge Waylon fan. Have seen him live multiple times. I have 2 favorite songs of his I always been crazy, and Amanda. When he passed away I shunned country music for years because his passing hit me that hard. There will never be anyone like him ever.❤
Waylon will always be one of the best he was an awesome man & guitar player & singer.. He was a great musician.
When people ask me what kind of music I like I tell them Waylon Jennings I'm sorry for those that lost their life on that plane but I am glad Waylon survived he gave the world so much it was very humble of him to do a lot of things I am thankful for the time that Waylon did give the world
I'm a fan of his and love his music and he will be missed very much and I hope the others will keep his music alive
Singing in heaven
I got to see him live in 1990 with the Highwaymen, Willie, Cash and Kris. He was Great!. Very funny to. I miss him.
I’m a Waylon fan! I have all his albums and I have seen him in concert a few times! His concerts are the best ones I have ever attended and I have been to a lot of different concerts! Waylon was the best and nobody will ever be any better than he was!
One of my favorites Hank Done It This Way
I'm a big Waylon fan.. love his voice n songs.
Waylon was one of my favorite singers. I have several of his albums
Luckenback texas is my favorite waylon Jennings song. I loved hearing it in that matthew connahey movie about that beach bum.
I grew up with rock music being my favorite, however Waylon is one of the few country music artists I like and still listen to.
He was the best!!!! So is Jessie!! Together, PURE GOLD!!!!
My friend Dave Geho said it best, "Waylon Jennings is "THE MAN"..... period!" May they both Rest In Peace.
Sat in his mothers living room in Littlefield Texas and played and sang Amanda for her. A very special moment to say the least.
P.S.: Waylon Jennings did put out a final album! It's called, fittingly, Goin' down Rockin '!
Yessss!! Forgot about that one!! Love that song...album!!
I remember growing up I would hear all kinds of country musicians on the radio but never Waylon Jennings he would be on a track with say Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson what is songs didn't get no airplay he got his notoriety by word of mouth and putting his face out there he is a true talent if you really want to hear Waylon shine listen to him do backup vocals for other musicians he can be heard playing and singing all genres of music from hard Rock to hillbilly country right into r&b Waylon was a gift for the world to share
Still one of the best singer. Ever. The Outlaw.
Waylon Jennings Johnny Cash Willie Nelson and so many other legendary country singers this is what country was and what country music was about not like 80% of the non country music they calle country music today you know like jelly roll and so many other you had no country origins or sound, may you rest in peace Waylon Jennings I grew up with your music and I continue to listen to your music thank you from this old 55 year old
I was 9 years old Champaign IL. My mom had a huge crush on Waylon. She took us, me,mom, and my brother to see Waylon Jennings and Jessie Colter at the assembly hall. It was right before he got busted for cocaine. Mom was crushed over the drugs.
Yes I’m definitely a big Fan of Waylon. i also played guitar for over 35 years untill a Traumatic BrainInjury caused Paralysis in one of my Arms I’ve always thought Waylon’s playing was often Underated as. Guitarist i personally thought he was very Versatile even more especially because for so many years he was Chemically dependent with the Drugs and Alcohol like he was some of his music are some of my Alltime Favorites especially for Jukebox music in Dive Southern Bars
My first concert, openers was Ken Melon, Ricky Lynn Greg and a young Toby Keith.
Then Waylon took the stage and rocked it.
I was 12 years old and now 42…still best show I’ve ever been to!
I like all his songs
Waylon was my hero from the time I was 18. I git the pleasure of attending 3 live concerts.😢 I miss him but God wanted him, I listen to his music daily. To me he was the greatest of all time, no one will ever be like him. I loved Waylon and broke my heat when he was called to heaven.
Betty Minde😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
Am I a fan of Waylon? Absolutely, in a music choices on a deserted island way
I’ve always been crazy ,unfortunately I relate to it
I saw Waylon in Jackson Mississippi years ago. It was one of the best and most powerful concerts I have ever attended! When he walked on stage just his presence was so commanding!
My brother saw him at Mr. Lucky's in the 60's and told me about him, what a good entertainer he was. Then I saw him at a fair (I think in Wisconsin) in the early 70's as my family was playing the same fair with the Movieland Animal Show. I thought wow, this guy is good. The rest is history, I've been a huge Waylon fan since. I like his 'my way' attitude.
Loved the Outlaw and named a beloved thistle sailboat after him, Outlaw... His artistry was royal yet defined by family and country. His legacy is beyond noble. Hope his family is musically inclined also..May he rest in peace...
He was suppose to perform at our County Fair and of course I bought early ticket. When I got my DL I would cruise around in my 69 Camaro blaring Waylon Jennings from them8 Track player! Anyway, the night he was to perform they told us he was sick and wouldn’t be performing. He died not too long after.😢
Do you still have your 69 camaro?
@@WEHenry unfortunately no.
Sorry to hear that you didn't get to see him then! It would be very disappointing!
When I was a younger man I was fortunate enough to see Waylon Willie Tom Paul Glaser and Jessi Colter at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines Iowa it was a very memorable concert
My favorite song from Waylon Jennings is the theme song from The Dukes of Hazzard ..Them Good Ol boys ..😅
Do you remember when he made a guess appearance on M.W.C with Al Bundy?
Respect for Waylon Jennings and his legacy his way was the best thing ever
Waylon was a total Bad Ass!
One of the greatest voices.
Truly a legend in his own time.
My team and I had the pleasure of working with Waylon; both on publisher demos and scratch tracks for finished products. I opened (along with one or two other artists) for Waylon at the four corners and the Celebrity Geo Theater back in the early nineties. Waylon was cool, honest, straight razored type of guy that could be intimidating at times if you didn't know him but to know him, he was a kind and thoughtful man and what a storyteller. I liked the way he went against the record establishment and carved his own path. Very few can hold a candle to Waylon!
I saw him live at the Apollo in nyc of all places.in the early 80s.what I remember was just how cool he was.and a great entertainer
Still miss him. Took his passing in a Hell of a way. Not too long before he passed he was playing in Window Rock, AZ. My band was playing two nights at the famous El Rancho in Gallup. When we went to set up the people in the 49er Lounge told us that Waylons bus had pulled in the night before, back to the Old stomping grounds. They wheeled him in with a guitar on his lap and just played and visited with people for a couple hours or so. Talk about being a day late on my account. Typical Waylon. "Living in the love of the common people." For that and many reasons I'll continue to sing his beloved songs. Growing up one of my most cherished possessions was a Honky Tonk Hero's 8 track that I inherited from my uncle.
Waylon always will be my favorite as of the hi way man
What were his last words confirmed by his daughter?
I never really had a favorite Waylon song they were all great I still love the outlaw music and Waylon rest in peace old buddy
The very best singer n song writer n an awesome entertainer!!!!!
❤ no one can or ever will replace Waylon ❤
Waylon was 1 of the best! I listen to an oldies station bc of him and singers like him!❤❤
❤ I am a huge Waylon Jennings fan. I believe that his decision was noble. Shooter Jennings has some good memories of a clean and sober dad as a result of the decision Waylon made to be a good father. Waylon is my forever crush since I rediscovered his music in late 2020. My favorite Waylon song is Mona off the This Time album
he was by far my favorite singer. i saw him live four time. 1984 at Willie's picnic. 1989 at Willie's new nightclub in Houston where i was about 6 feet directly in front of him and the stage. that was AWESOME. 1995 in shreveport, and 1999 in dallas for the never say die concert where he was seated for the entire show. that was sad because i knew the end was near. but it was still agreat show.
ps. one side of the waylon live cd is in my car's cd player at this moment. it's been in there for about a year. and i never listen to the radio, so.....
Love Waylon and his music, that voice, that guitar playing and his personality seemed so genuine. This Time is one of my fav's but there are so many great songs!
One of the greatest ever. 😢
So glad to see Waylon, twice!!❤
"Longer and sadder than anyone could HOPE FOR?" Damn! That's harsh. 🤣
Waylon stood alone, at the time. He stood up to the Big Wigs. How Awesome, Soooo many Singers are totally ripped off. by the Greedy Nashville Moguls. Dwight Yokham, did the same. Two of the finest artists ever. Luv Luv them both. 🇮🇪🍀💚🎶
So true! ❤
Saw him in concert 5 times. Shook hands once.
Love Waylon....my favorite artist .. seen him perform live in Lexington at the fairground....I was next in line to get an autograph from him....but he was done ...
Waylon and Johnny were best friends
Yes I am Waylon Jennings fan
Waylon is a legend... and will always be a legend. RIP to the original highwayman and outlaw!
Waylon was a true artist and a genuine larger than life figure. If you haven't already done so you really need to do a video on the great Merle Haggard ❤
I loved Waylon Jennings! I didn't know He played with Buddy Holly. This is sad.
I was and I still a Waylon fan I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a few times in the seventies and early eighties. I always have and still listen to his songs and enjoy his brand and music! I admire his attitude towards life as well and have that same stubbornness myself although I don't have a musical bone in my body...lol! There will not be anthor Walyon Jennings my friends!
I cannot remember the exact year but it was probably around 1977 when I saw him perform at the Red Dog Sallin in Waco Texas. The Red Dog Saloon was owned by Willie Nelson. The Saloon probably didn’t hold more than 200 people but he put on about a 2 hour performance. Outside was Waylons tour bus parked right at the front door. The bus door was open and there was his wife jessie Colter and another lady that was on tour with the band sitting there on the steps of the bus waiting for the performance to end. Waylon was a good singer and had a great band. With only 200 fans there because of the size of the Saloon it felt like he was giving us a personal private performance. He paid the price for not taking care of his health and he still has a loyal following. I wish his style of music was still around country music is not country anymore.
I seen Waylon twice in Dayton Ohio I loved him my favorite songs are Amanda and Lukenbach, Texas ❣️
Listen to Waymore's Blue's
There's no other song like it
He had his own style , one of a kind
Waylon Jennings was the best in the country music business.
Asking what my favorite Waylon song is is like asking what my favorite Beatles song is. It's impossible to choose just one.
love waylon
I met Waylon in Lima Ohio fair grounds he was thear whith David Alan Co and I got to meet them both Waylon treated me like his famaily never for get it as long as I live good friend of mine knew David Alan real well and he was always good to us always but Waylon didn’t owe me shit but me being a fan of him met the world to him I walked across the lot to stand buy his bus and he walked up behind me said how you doin haus I likes to shit my pants he talked whith me a long time took som pics I still have today was a day I will never forget I will always be grateful to him for his kindness to me
I saw him 1988 in Salem Oregon I've been to his grave I'm from Arizona my favorite bar is galloping goose bar in Coolidge az Waylon set at the same bar we love him
My dad took me to a Waylon concert when i was maybe fourteen years old at the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was raining and we got there early. We saw Waylon's touring bus so we went and got some pictures. We thought maybe Waylon might step out and say high as we were the only two fools standing there in the rain. One of the band members got out of the bus looked at us and kept on walking but no Waylon. Now i wasn't hurt by this. I'm not that big on fanfair or idle worship but i would liked to have shook the hand of the man that inspired my desire for music. Who knows what might have been going on at the time and he may not even have been in the bus but Dad and i went on in and enjoyed the show.
Saw Waylon a second time for a moment at another concert. As soon as Waylon got on stage my brother got into a fight with the bouncers so there i was fighting and being arrested while Waylon played live in the background. Looking back, that was kinda cool i guess!
The bust was in 77 or 78 he didn’t quit till 84
I like all your music 🎶🎶🎶 and songs May God bless you and your family!!!
Whats that thumbnail about " last words " no Johnny cash "
Navajo people love Waylon Jennings I saw him in Shiprock New Mexico on the Navajo reservation 1970 with the Takers & Albuquerque 1975
Why did you interspersed solo pictures of Merle Haggard in there with Waylon?
where corn dont grow was superb
Rose in paradise was a beautiful song one of waylons best
I got to meet him and Willie once. Didn’t think he’d be dead not long after that.
Love the music . Loved the man. Still find music I haven’t heard.
Waylon lives on for centuries his music will always be around
I did see him live. He put on one hell of a show.
my mom knew him from the bamboo club in enid,oklahoma. just off I-35 it was north of oklahoma city about one hour. just about everybody that were anybody in those days played the bamboo club. mom worked for the country club in enid as a chef and she love the bamboo club. she said waylon was the best lookin man she'd ever seen. lots of great times,great memories.
He didn't refuse to show up at his own induction. He was sick and couldn't show. They need to get their facts straight before talking down about great music stars. Those guys go through hell getting to the top and they deserve respect.
Listen to his autobiography
I remember hearing Waylon say that the Hall of Fame induction didn't mean anything to him, but after thinking about it he realized it would to his family. I think he sent his son Buddy to accept the honor in his place. Yes, he was battling diabetes and related illnesses at the time, so it just made good sense all around for someone to accept on his behalf.
This is awesome.
It would be hard to understand. Hard to deal with. But i sure loved waylon. And Jessie was a great asset. Life can be a struggle. Great music. ❤❤❤
I use to see Waylon in a Phoenix Night club n 1965, he was great & sociable.
Love me some Waylon 🤘
He! Waylon was his own man. you have to respect that. besides a great singer, songwriter.
anyone else notice Merle Haggard pics popping up in this video?
Lol
In my opinion he was the best country singer with vocals that flowed in every song he sang
My favourite song Waylon sang was all of them lol but I must admit mommy don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Hatfields and McCoys
Waylons last songs were performed with struggle Jennings. All his last recordings can be found on his first album.
The first time I heard Waylon was in my dads car. I was 8 years old and he played Sweet Dream Woman and I turned to dad and said “Who is that?” That voice got my attention.Like nothing I had heard before. My youngest sons name is Waylon.
The artist you should do next. David Allen Coe
Who wouldn't be a fan he was the greatest
I grew up listening to waylon'n'wilie and i write and play my music true his ways.
