Waylon Jennings is arguably the greatest combination of singer, songwriter, and musician to ever do country music
I would throw names like Johnny Cash , Dolly Parton , Marty Robbins , Hank Williams , Don Williams maybe even someone from modern country like Garth Brooks into the hat for that crown . Its all subjective but an interesting debate for sure . ✌🏻
You are very correct dalca Y
I agree
@@TheDude3007-dd7fgI would prefer Alan Jackson over Garth,but can't argue with your list
Waylon ftw
WHAT!!! Waylon Jennings did the theme song for the Dukes of Hazzard, "Good Ol Boys" come on now he is a LEGEND.
I believe Waylon was also the narrator for Dukes of Hazzard.
@@charlesramsay2401Yes sir he was.
lol my age is getting called out. These young ones have probably never heard the into.
@@winterladyi watched all of the dukes of the Hazzard movies
Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson "Good Hearted Woman" or "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys".
Yes indeed
Absolutely!
And “Luckenbach, Texas”
Don't forget "Rose in Paradise."
Yes! That one too...and Ladies Love Outlaws!

Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to Richie Valens on the fateful plane that crashed in Iowa in the late 50s that killed Buddy Hollly the Big Bobber and Richie Valens …. “The Day the Music Died “
He was the Bass player in Buddy Holly's band.
Yes and Waylon lived with great guilt. Holly was mad at Waylon for giving up his seat and told him "Well I hope your old bus freezes over". To which Waylon shot back with "Well I hope your ole' plane crashes."
Waylon gave up his seat to the Big Bopper not Ritchie Valens.
He gave the seat to the Big Bopper of Chantilly lace fame. Waylon also said something to Buddy Holly in response to a joke they had shared. Jennings regretted that aside till his dying day. He had meant no harm.
Yes it was Big Bopper, he had the flu so Waylon gave him his seat on the plane so he could see a doctor in Fargo (I think) which was the next city they were to perform.
Waylon Jennings is the father of outlaw country. He started that genre. Also, sings the dukes of hazard theme song, good ole boys.
This song is about reincarnation and got some heat in the bible belt, it was controversial in the 80s. It's a classic! Their grandkids have gotten together and done a version, too.
To be fair it is a little weird to incorporate a Hindu concept into a country western theme not that I agree with the insanity of the Bible belt either
This is true. the only country tune Ive heard thats about an eastern religion concept like this
@@ct00001 exactly I don't know too many Hindu cowboys 🤣
Or it's very Zen, that everything incorporates the whole universe. The individual self is an illusion, death is a non-event, since nothing ends or begins.
It also has kind of a Taoist feel to it.
Waylon and Willie did Momma Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. Awesome song!
co sign
San Andrea's K Rose vibes
Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson did a couple Albums and Tours together before the HIghwaymen were formed....
Songs by Waylon Jennings... "I've Always been Crazy," "Luckenbach Texas," "I'm a Ramblin Man," "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean," "Only Daddy that will walk the Line," "Amanda," "I ain't living Long like this," "Wrong," "Good Hearted Woman," "Are you sure Hank Did it this away"......
Luckenbach, Texas is one of my faves.
Luckenbach, Texas!!! Waylon, Willie and the Boys!!! epic
That's some great music right there
What people need to remember is that these are the Originators of "Outlaw Country" They all got starts in Nashville but were truly independent of "Corporate Country" and got together to start a new genera.
All the highwaymen are huge, Waylon Jennings did the theme for the Dukes of Hazard (tv show)....amongst other songs.
He was also the narrator for the show.
These are the legends. Waylon's voice you can feel in your soul. Waylon Jennings is the best country singer of all time IMO.
Definitely one of the best. His voice is so strong and rich.
Having lived in Boulder, Nevada and crossing, almost daily, Hoover Dam (the building of and it's tragedies being what Waylon's verse addressed), makes Waylon's verse hit differently for me.
❤ Mine too
Waylon was originally one of Buddy Holly's Crickets. He actually gave up his seat to the Big Bopper on the night Valens, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper crashed known as the Day the Music died.
It's the reincarnation of the spirit of the America man, IMHO!
Except highwaymen were an English phenomenon. They used horses to rob coaches of the wealthy. Footpads were those who hiked to rob them. They were very common from about 1650 to 1800 and spurred the development of local militias.
Exactly what I always thought.
Waylon, you've never heard any of his songs, my word, never thought that could happen, but I guess there is always a first time for everything...He is my all time favorite singer, he plays on my cd in my car everytime I start it up....
Another Super Group would be The Traveling Wilburys, five different super stars from a later era! Most of the songs were co-written by the friends and the musical icons that appear in the videos! Great stuff Black P....
The Amelas One
Great recommendation for them.
🔥🎸🔥
Actually seeing Willy, Dylan and Robert Plant this summer together during the “Outlaw Music Festival” tour! Check it out…perhaps in your area as well👍🏻
Little known fact: protecting stagecoaches from highwaymen is the origin of the phrase "riding shotgun", because if you were up top next to the driver, you were carrying a long gun.
Waylon Jennings Sang Luckenback Texas, Back To the Basics, I've Always Been Crazy, Good Hearted Woman and Mamma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys with Willie Nelson.
If you ever watch the original Dukes of Hazard tv show from the 80's you've heard Waylon Jennings. He wrote and performed the intro song for the tv show and also narrated every episode of the show for its seven season run.
Came here for this comment!
Kris Kristopherson is a songwriter - Me and Bobbie McGee, Help Me Make It Through the Night, Sunday Morning Coming Down all written by him
Kris was working as a janitor for a record company to try to get a record deal then he rented a helicopter he learned to fly while in the army and landed it on Johnny Chas yard and gave his demo to get known.
Don’t forget For the Good Times most famously covered by the legend Al Green
I totally agree. Kris blew them away.
Kris is also a Rhoades Scholar.
He was! And a top notch wordsmith. The Bob Dylan of country music. Prolific writer, a frog ish voice.
RIP Waylon and Johnny. 💚🤙🏼
Waylon was a national treasure and his song America is absolutely beautiful.
I know, I know ,, I get carried away but I love his voice and style
Waylon Jennings is a Country Music legend. "WURLITZTER PRIZE" is the epitome of what a real country song sounds like. Bob Dylan wrote a song called "DON'T THINK TWICE, IT'S ALRIGHT" that has been covered by a lot of artists... Waylon's cover is the best. So much to choose from with Waylon Jennings. If you head down that rabbit hole, better pack a lunch.
I am down that rabbit hole and was tickled that he and Johnny Cash shared a flat on the 60’s and both hid the were taking drugs from each other as they thought they other could not take it, they also proudly did their sobriety stories. Humble rebels. Love them both.
Waylon Jennings is my favorite of all country music singers.
Kris is an amazing actor, loved him in Millennium and the Blade movies.
And A Star Is Born.
Which is odd, never seen it before, maybe it's because I'm not a fan of Barbara Streisand. I know Kris was in it.@@katiem9644
It wasn't successful, but my favorite performance from Kris was in the TV Miniseries "Amerika" in the 80s, about an America taken over by the old Soviet Union.
Thank you!! I always forget he was Whistler, in Blade. He's so much that character that I forgot the music..bad me
I hung out with his son on New Year's Eve 2011, while he was still working for the Indies. We happened to enter the Golden Nugget just as his theme song came on the radio. Good times.
You're both right: reincarnation of a spirit who always lived on the edge from age to age.
Some of Waylon you can't go wrong with:
"Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got of Hand";
"I've Always Been Crazy";
"Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way"
Chris Kristopher was a poet who put music to his words. He was Bob Dillon to country fans, Johnny Cash recognized that. All four men told Nashville to take a hike and took their music directly to the American people. All four men are American treasures. There will never be anyone like them aga, only those that strive to come close. Chris, Willie and especially Dolly Parton will, like us all, will pass into history one day. They, along with Walon and Johnny will live forever through their truly American music.
WAYLON is the FATHER of outlaw music - Willie Nelson says he is probably the best voice in country!!! He does it all - writes, a awesome guitar player, performer & just an ICON!!!! There will never be another artist that will change country music for the better!!!! Waylon ROCKS!!! I lived across the alley from his studio in Nashville back in the 70's & heard the best music!! His song with Hank Williams Jr about Hanks dad is a must see!!!! Waylon sings the damn builder part of this!!! I am 75 & still to his music all the time!!!!
Kris Kristofferson wrote tons of hits for other country artists. Even wrote "Me and Bobby McGee". Not really an "outlaw". He was a Rhodes Scholar and Army helicopter pilot before focusing on a music career. Check out "Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)".
Landed his Army helicopter in Johnny Cash's front yard!
Chris was in the last a star is born movie with Barbara Streisand ( the one before Ga Ga ). I cry every time I watch it . Barbra won an Academy Award for her performance and Chris won a golden gobe for best actor . Also Chris wrote the Song me and Bobby McGee , which Janice Joplin made a hit .
The KINGS of outlaw country music.
Kristofferson is an underrated badass. Before he made it in music, he worked as a a janitor at a recording studio in Nashville on the weekends and was a commercial helicopter pilot during the week. At the studio he bumped into June Carter Cash and gave her a demo tape to give to Johnny, and she did, but Johnny just tossed it in a pile of demos people gave him without listening to it. After a few weeks of not hearing anything, Kris decided he’d get Cash’s attention and landed a helicopter in his front yard demanding to have his tape listened to. All four of the Highwaymen are legends, and you should definitely check out Waylon; a solid 90% of the songs he recorded are solid country gold and he basically created outlaw country.
Kris Kristofferson is a piece of work. A Rhodes scholar (studied at Oxord), an officer and helicopter pilot as an Army Ranger. Was assigned to teach at West Point but gave that all up to pursue a career as a song writer. Grew up in the Military. He was in a few movies one with Wesley Snipes (Blade) and Pat Garret & Billy the Kid.
Waylon Jennings is one of the bad boys / Outlaws of Country Music.
It's the telling of the incurable boldness of the human spirit.
Reincarnation of a man who craves adventure. So good!
I just discovered that the grandsons of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings covered this song!!! It was a little unsettling how much they looked and sang like their grandfathers!!! You should check it out! 🤠
This is just one song from this super group.Nelson and Jennings went rouge in 76 and made/produced a million dollar record. Kristofferson the fan boy of the group wrote the song Sunday morning coming down when he worked at CBS as a janitor. He wanted Cash to sing it so badly the man chartered a helicopter to Johnny Cash's home to bring him a recorded tape of it.
One of my favorite songs. Thought provoking. Cash served in the US Air Force. I always love it when he comes in with his line about the “starship”. Gives me chills.
Waylon has the perfect country/western voice...that deep (is it baritone?) just gets me everytime.
Waylon Jennings is the original “outlaw”. He was the one who recorded using his band on his records, produced his records, had the first million country record, kicked a twenty year drug habit cold turkey and had the best rocking/country/soul voice, ever. He was a good songwriter and a great wit. His fourth wife,the beautiful singer,songwriter, Jessi Colter, was his true love. They were married 32 years until his death from diabetes on Feb.13, 2002. They have one son, singer Shooter Jennings. Waylon had four children by previous marriages and Jessi has one daughter by her first marriage to musician,Duane Eddy. He was a true original and did things his way! He and Willie Nelson had quite a few hits together. Johnny Cash and Waylon were close friends and roomed together in the ‘60s.
Waylon is a legend in country music but I’d bet you’d be surprised to know that struggle Jennings is Waylon’s grandson.
Shooter Jennings is his son. Outlaw country as well
Do you mean Shooter Jennings?
@@brheinfeldt Correct. www.google.com/url?q=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooter_Jennings&sa=U&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjog8fC3e-EAxWyFTQIHR03AxwQmhN6BAgfEAg&usg=AOvVaw2KNHCsqh___WpHUA8NH0TL
Struggle is a step grandson. He took Waylon's last name. His grandmother was Jesse Colter, Waylon's 4th wife. They were married in 69 until he died in 2002.
@@brheinfeldtshooter is his son if I’m not mistaken
First time I heard this song was at my dad's funeral as the ending song. He was in the navy and this broke my heart but also made me so happy. ❤
I love this song. Pleasantly surprised that it was chosen. A Well-deserved listen. The deeper meaning of life and re-birth of this song gave me chills first time I heard it.
I love all 4 but Waylon is my favorite 🇺🇸. BTW Kris Kristofferson was in all the blade movies with Wesley Snips.
Kris kristofferson was in a captain in the army. He was a helicopter pilot and went to ranger school. He was a Rhodes scholar and went to the University of Oxford. He was a boxer and played rugby.
Waylon!!!! Have you ever seen "The Dukes of Hazard"??? he did the theme song...ICONIC
I found you a couple days ago im 60yrs old nice to see your generation checking stuff outside your the generation. Lots a great stuff from my generation
Waylon Jennings sang the theme song for (and narrated) the Dukes of Hazzard. If nothing else, you probably would have heard that.
Please check out more Waylon? He has the best catalog of all four. IMO.
Waylon was the bass player for Buddy Hollys band. He gave his seat to the Big Bopper on the day "The Day the Music Died." February 3, 1959. That's part of Don McLean's American Pie! Another clue is the Marching Band is The Beatles including their song Sgt Peppers and the one you think belongs to Charles Manson. The Beatles could rock, huh! The fisted rage was directed at Mick Jagger and the Stones. Janis Joplin sang the Blues! Enough tips for a while. Some of us lived through the story of this song BP!
Waylon has changed to a Fender custom guitar now, he wrote tons of songs. He also played the music on Dukes of Hazzard's and narrated on all of the TV programs. Listen to his songs "I've Always Been Crazy" and "Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys". He sang with Willie Nelson and Hank Jr. before the Highwaymen were formed. He died in 2020 from diabetes. If you like his music, join the world, he has a long long list and they are all good!
The Amelas One
Great! I've requested this roughly 20 times I'm glad to see you reacting to it.
Man this takes me back, even though I'm from AUS I grew up on Sunday arvo Elvis movies and country music. I've always interpreted this song to be about those with an adventurous spirit, and how it only those willing to step outside their comfort zone and take a risk that ever move humanity forward!
Massive love... this song is epic. Johnny Cash god love him, his vocals are so good. everyone else (Nelson, Waylon & Kristofferson) add to this song but Cash steals the show.
Kris Kristofferson best known for his song writing, “ Sunday Morning Coming Down, Me & Bobby McGee, Loving Her was Easier, Why Me” & so many more. Fun hearing you explore.
This is such a cool song! I love these guys! I especially love Johnny Cash. Be sure and check out their tours, they sing this together on stage and it's phenomenal!!
Waylon Jennings did You never even call me by my name, classic !!!
I tear up not sure why seeing Johnny Cash at the end when he smiled lol
oh this banger
Waylon Jennings: I'm A Ramblin' Man is one of my all time favorites
I so enjoy watching you react....For me (I'm old), it's like watching things through the eyes of my children. Everything is new.
Do Johnny Cash's "One Piece At A Time" for fun!
This is one of those songs you can listen to over and over.
Yes! 😊 I've been waiting to see you watch this. Waylon is the king of Outlaw Country. Kris is one of the smartest dudes out there. Willie and Johnny you already know are legends.😊
Oh I love that song.I can listen to it over and over again
Desperados waiting on a Train was recorded by the Highwaymen. But the Guy Clark (wrote it) version is amazing. I tear up every time.
These four were founding members of a branch of country music known as 'Outlaw Country'. They bucked the system and the studio system to do things their own way. Hence the name 'The Highwaymen'.
I was waiting for this reaction! This is one of the best songs of my era as far as story telling.
Waylon Jennings sang the theme song for the TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard." He also narrarated that same TV show!
Waylon Jennings sings the theme song to "The Dukes of Hazzard" tv series.
This is such a cool reincarnation song to cover “The Highwayman” over a century.
Waylon Jennings sings the theme song for The Dukes of Hazard Just a Good Ol Boy.
The tune was written by Jimmy Webb who wrote many hit sides, for Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Richard Harris and so many more.
Excited for this one! Hoping this leads you to discover the original Outlaw - Waylon Jennings.
BP, imagine this. You go the The Highway Men’s concert. Not only getting The supergroup’s songs But, each artist performing their hits!
Welcome to the Original Outlaw Country artists. These are the one's who invented it.
My favorite Waylon Jennings song is I've Always Been Crazy. 😊
The Highwaymen doing "The Road Goes On Forever" is also a banger
Need to go down the Waylon rabbit hole!
For a rapper you'll have fun with "Did Hank Really Do It This Way?" for its take down of the record industry, and it's a banger.
Waylon!! Luckenbach Texas or Good Hearted Woman! He is a legend, I love him:)
Loved your reaction to this! More Waylon and Willie and the boys!
Y’all got it right, and thank you for doing this. I got to see the first live performance by The Highwaymen at Willie Nelson’s 4th Of July Picnic in 1985. They each played a set during the day. I remember Kris Kristofferson was wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt. Johnny Cash brought his wife June Carter Cash on to do a few songs. Willie Nelson stepped on to do a song or two with each of them, and then after dark they all came on together as The Highwaymen. I looked up during Jerry Jeff Walker’s set and Neil Young was playing with the band. Neil came back on to do a set. We managed to get backstage, or really side-stage, and drink a beer while they all walked by and looked at us, probably wondering how we got there, but they left us alone. It was an incredible day.
Back when we in high school my sister was really into her drama class. There was a movie being filmed in Austin (we lived about 30 miles from Austin) with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson (The Songwriter?) and my sister talked dad into taking her in so she could try to get a part as an extra. She didn't get a part, but dad did. Instead of cashing the check he got, he had it framed. (I think it was for like $35.00)
Kris K starred in the original A Star Is Born. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a MUST!
Waylon Jennings was the Is balladeer for the show the Dukes of Hazzard and sang the theme song he sings outlaw country with rich voice he had countless amount of hit songs !!
Hilarious reaction. With each verse you could see BPs face go like "WTF".
Good stuff.
Kris Kristofferson is a Rhodes Scholar ... he was born in 1936. He played in a movie called "Convoy" that was released in 1978 along with Ali McGraw and Ernest Borgnine. That is my all-time favorite movie. This song debuted on Billboards Hot Country Hits Chart on 05/18/1985... peaking at #1 and stayed on the charts for 20 weeks and won the Grammy for "Country Song." Also, there was another LP titled "Highwaymen 2" on Columbia 45240. I was just reading a tidbit regarding Kris... "He got a job sweeping floors in Nashville studios. There he met Johnny Cash, who initially took some of his songs but ignored them. He was also working as a commercial helicopter pilot at the time. He got Cash's attention when he landed his helicopter in Cash's yard and gave him some more tapes. Cash then recorded Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down", which was voted the 1970 Song of the Year by the Country Music Association."
I totally wore out these cds❤ we go on forever. Some people live comfortably and some push the edge. Warrior spirit. Men AND women.
I was told a story by my grandmother that when her and my grandpa were young and still newlyweds a friend took them to panther hall in Ft Worth Tx to see some young county singers. They got to go back to this singer's hotel and have a mini jam session after the concert. Then she said ,like it was no big deal. It was Willie and Waylon. I loved hearing this story.
Waylon Jennings is a classic country superstar, and my favorite artist of all time (the dam builder in the song).
If you know Struggle Jennings, I believe he's Waylon's step-grandson.
Waylon was the one who sang theme song to dukes of hazzard
Love it! I first became aware of this song a little less than a year ago when Pretty Lights announced a return after a 5 year hiatus with a reworking of this Pretty Lights style ❤
I got to see them 5 times live by the time I was 7. My earliest memory is being like 18 mos. old listening to them perform On The Road Again and Pancho and Lefty. Pretty Paper was a Christmas Album played during every present opening. I met Willie at his annual 4th of July Cookout in Luke bachelor as one my dad's friends was married to the mayor of the town at that time.
This song is epic. I'm glad to see someone reacting to it.
Kris is also a Rhodes Scholar. His songs are a cut above. If you haven't heard "Sunday Morning Comein' Down" you should listen if you get the chance.
Kris K. was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford in England, like bill Clinton was. He’s pretty quiet but very talented. He was in the third remake of
A Star is Born with
Barbra Streisand.
Wasn’t Waylon Jennings the narrator on the Duke’s of Hazzard? Isn’t it also him singing the song for the show into? “Just some good ole boys, never meaning no harm…”
Waylon Jennings - I've always been crazy. 👍 👍 👍
These guys are all amazing on their own. Together they are phenomenal! Thanks for reacting to this❤❤❤
Waylon Jennings has a few great tracks, my personal fave is "Good Ol' Boys", which was the them for "Dukes of Hazzard".
They are the first outlaws of country
The bad boys of country music.
