I love me some Waylon Jennings. Hard, if not impossible to pick a favorite. The song and the album that started it all for me was "Honky Tonk Heros". I guess I became a Waylon fan and a Billy Joe Shaver all at once. Just like Kenny I loved Waylon's guitar and his unique sound. Kenny Vaughn is so cool as musician and as it turns out, as a story teller. I think Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are just amazing. Love them live and all their cds. Kenny's cd is really great too. I wish he would cut another one. I hope you have some more Kenny content in store for us Otis.
Guitar wise probably 'Only Daddy...' vocally 'Come With Me ' ... top of my head, ask me tmrwit might be different! Lol... 'Storms Never Last" .... I'm reluctant to say "Just to Satisfy You " in a way because I've hear Hoss say he never cared for it
@@otisgibbs Could you ask Kenny about playing with bassist "The Mighty Harry Bruckner". Curious if he remembers any stories of my late brother in Denver. Thanks.
I know if I see Otis Gibbs, Kenny Vaughan and Waylon Jennings in the same youtube title, I don’t need to see more than 3 seconds of the video before I thumbs up. Stoked for this. Thanks for bringing it to us, Oat!
Dang it, Otis... tell Kenny that you two blew the top off of the scale with this one. "Waylon LOVED Ralph. But I don't think Ralph loved Waylon..." 🤣😂🤣
MY BAND PRACTICED IN THE SAME HOUSE AS WAYLON'S BAND. This was in 1968, Scottsdale Arizona, and Waylon was the house band at "JD's" club. I never hung out with Waylon but I did play that famous Telecaster guitar with the rope trim. (The band I was in fired me because I wanted to do original music.) At the time, I knew, with my whole being that Waylon was beginning to invent a new kind of country music. He moved to Tennessee in the early 70s and eventually hooked up with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. In fact, somebody gave me Johnny's address and said that Johnny always opened his door for guests. And stupidly, I never knocked on his door. What at time that was, late 60s, early 70s. Whoa.
Thanks so much for these great interviews Otis. Cousin Kenny is so correct when he says when you hear Rainy Day Woman on the radio you just HAVE to crank it up. Ralph Mooney's steel in this song is so good and his outro is on point! When we play Waylon at home my beautiful wife will grab me to dance when Rainy Day Woman comes around!
I saw Waylon twice in concert both shows we're amazing at the Grizzly Rose in Denver Colorado. I still have the concert t shirt waymore blues part two t shirt this is your brain on music. I loved to hear his Telecaster guitar run through all his songs. I remember my Dad first told me about him in about 1974 . I miss Waylon. But his music will always be played where ever I go.
As for songs lots of his billy Joe shaver songs are stellar and I love “a long time ago”, lonesome ornery and mean, just to satisfy you and shine. Plus his cover of JJ Cale’s Clyde is a winner. But the beat as Kenny says. That disco country is so fantastic. We are always striving to emulate that groove. Thanks be to Waylon
Kenny Vaughan! What else is there to say, really? (Whether waxing anecdotal, or spicing up a song with his fantastic guitar riffs, he's armed with the talent, savvy, and vibe to make it always sound so damned interesting to listen to.)
I saw Waylon when Mooney was in the band and I will never forget it. Musically along with Richie Albright on drums hands down the tightest band I have ever seen.
"A Couple More Years ". I sang with my acoustic guitar to a young lady who had a crush, but I am always faithful to my wife. Her sweet tears fell like rain, and mine fell a little bit too.
The strange thing is that nobody ever talks about the beauty and the great songs on his white mansion album, it waz perfect, he brought Jesse and a couple of boys from the Ozark mountain daredevils, I love every song on the entire album, I have my copy still unopened and my parents vynal cut that me and my friends from school played to death , thanks for the channel , it's my kind of youtube
Keep the Waylon stuff coming, Otis. And milk Kenny for all you can get! He's chalk full of stories. Some Marty Stuart stories would be amazing. I had RS Field produce one of my records. He'd be another amazing guest. He hired Kenny to play on that record and he was unreal. He snapped at snapped at the engineer (my friend, Jack) at one point telling him, "The boss (me) wants Flatts and Scruggs, not Rascal Flatts." Holy shit, I came out of my chair laughing. There are still some legends walking around Nashville and it's wonderful just to be in the same room with them.
I’d risk my life to see Waylon. Only one of my country hero’s I’ve never seen. But I love Ralph Mooney. He’s just the best. He’s my favorite steel player. Thanks for sharing
Favorite song I've gotta go back to Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way. I still set up straighter and crank it after the 1st 2 strums of the Telecaster.
"Waylon loved Ralph. I don't think Ralph loved Waylon?". Another cool observation, from Cousin Kenny.😆 1 more, while I'm at it, "who's this guy & why is he playing, like that?". I could listen to him tell stories, all day & night. Another goodn', Otis.
Asking me that question is the same as what's me favorite Skynyrd song . I Love All Of Them ! I'm greedy like that . Thank you Otis , please don't stop !!!
I was fortunate to see Waylon at The Bottom Line in NYC. I have to admit..I went there to see the opening act, Pure Prairie League. But then... Waylon came out ! When Waylon's band kicked in...and Waylon started singin'...It felt like I was hit in the face with a brick !
I heard a lot of those Mooney leads were his before he joined Waylon. He must’ve liked him well enough to reinvest his licks onto the new songs. Thank goodness! Something about that pedal steel
Loved that story! Wow! Thanks. I’d say my favorite Waylon penned song is “Bob Wills is Still the King” and my favorite cover he did is “Jack of Diamonds” off the Are you Ready for the Country record!
That was great Ottis! Met a guy who opened for Waylon around that same time Kenny referred to said Waylon was pretty edgy to say the least back then.Clyde is one of my favourites thanks Ottis and Kenny
To try to choose a favorite Waylon song is impossible. I listened to Waylon almost exclusively for several years , back in the late 70s and early 80s. I cried when he died.
"Wurlitzer Prize" is my favorite right now. Tomorrow it may be "Belle of the Ball," "Dreaming My Dreams," or "Stop the World and Let Me Off." Too many good songs.
Kenny Vaughn is one of the most underrated guitarist of our time. He has played with several big name acts. His style is original rock star and just cool as shit.
Otis....I really enjoy your interviews and Kenny Tales are great to hear. I bet he has a million to share. One of you should just write a book of road warrior fables with a warning/claim that starts off like,The Twighlight Zone, to maybe keep yall from getting in trouble with the people being "lied about", but true stories are actually leaked to the wanting fans. Great Channel and thanks for sharing with said wanting fan... 👍 Kenney has a funny way to extrapolate his adventures and I really enjoy your inputs as well.....Thanks again and see yall further down the road....👍👍👍
interesting comment about Waylon playing Ralph Mooney licks on the tele. One of my favourite W Jennings records is "Donna On My Mind" (1970), which pre-dates Rainy Day Woman but has the same lick. I remember asking the steel player in our band if he could cop the steel lick from "Donna". After a couple of listens, to our mutual surprise we discovered that it was actually being played on a tele - copied no doubt by Waylon from Mooney's work on the original recording of the song, which Wynn Stewart put out in 1962.
Favorite Waylon song is tough, I'll just go with I've Always Been Crazy. I read once, don't know if it's true but it's funny. That Waylon looked over at Mooney and he was passed out on his steel. Waylon said the Moon has set.
Favorite waylon song , the conversation with hank jr , old school , i saw waylon in a small maybe 30 pepole show in wendover nevada , waylon was maybe 3 ft from me and my girl , my girl was really diggin ol hoss , i just gave him a thumbs up i was in a cast from a rodeo wreck in wym , utah johnny .
FIrst off anytime you have Cousin Kenny Vaughn telling stories it is going to be a great day. I really have to say I like "Rose in Paradise" best although just about anything Waylon did that was a Billy Joe Shaver song was great. "Trouble Man" is hard to beat too, you don't hear it on the radio and lots of people don't seem to like it but I do.
I've got a dozen or more favorite songs but Ralph put Waylon over the top, as far as I'm concerned. I had the opportunity to see/hear Moon not long before he died and you'd never make me believe that he wasn't pretty damned humble for the part he played in country music. Maybe he didn't give a damn what anyone thought but he seemed to me to be very honest as far as where he fit into the hierarchy of steel players. He considered himself to be "hillbilly" but if you listen to 'MacArthur's Park' that was the later version, he was unbelievable. The tone he got on songs like 'Couple more Years' live in Stockholm and if that doesn't grab you, I don't know what to tell you.
Hey Otis. New fan/new subscriber/lifelong Midwesterner. Just wanted to say thanks a ton for all this great content. Truly incredible, so whenever you get the time - Keep pumping these videos out! Thanks again!
I love to hear stories about ol’ Hoss. Lonesome Onry and Mean has to be my favorite Waylon tune, but there isn’t one I don’t like. Love that sound of him and Ralph playing together. Pick it Moon!
Always the best way to start my day checking out your vodcast. Love Kenny stories. Hope your back on the road playing soon Otis but please don't stop producing these for your fans ..thanks. Rbh
Man, Otis - I can listen to Kenny for HOURS! That was way too short but loads of fun + funny. My favorite Waylon song will always be “The Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line”. That & all the tracks on the mostly Billy Joe Shaver-penned album Honky Tonk Heroes. As always, thanks Otis.
Kenny's right; Ralph Mooney was fantastic, and a lot of people in Nashville thought so, too. For a showcase of his Moon's playing, just get the expanded version of "Waylon Live." Ol' Waylon gives him the spotlight several times on that record, and Moon runs with it, hard.
Waylon Jennings - Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand. It was only on his second or third album but that soon into the Outlaw Movement and it was taking the USA, I mean the Eagles got on Pop Radio at the time with what would now be called country before the Hotel California Album, as did a few others I could mention from the 1970's doing a southern country rock sound of the era that today would be country.
My favorite Merle songs were with Ralph Mooney. If I'm not mistaken: "Emptiest Arms in the World", "Bottle Let Me Down", and "Swingin' Doors". I take it that Ralph moved from West Coast to Nashville?
Old Timer(the song) from the Waymores Blues Part II album. I actually get request to sing that one at jam sessions. Most artistic and least comercial song Waylon did
What's your favorite Waylon song?
Good hearted woman
Waymore's Blues, Amanda, I've Always Been Crazy. Honestly not sure if he's the writer on those or not, but I consider them "his".
I love me some Waylon Jennings. Hard, if not impossible to pick a favorite. The song and the album that started it all for me was "Honky Tonk Heros". I guess I became a Waylon fan and a Billy Joe Shaver all at once. Just like Kenny I loved Waylon's guitar and his unique sound.

The Choking Kind
Guitar wise probably 'Only Daddy...' vocally 'Come With Me ' ... top of my head, ask me tmrwit might be different! Lol... 'Storms Never Last" .... I'm reluctant to say "Just to Satisfy You " in a way because I've hear Hoss say he never cared for it
Kenny is by your best guest. I just love him.
Cousin Kenny has to be the coolest guy ever. What a player.
Definitely!
@@otisgibbs Could you ask Kenny about playing with bassist "The Mighty Harry Bruckner". Curious if he remembers any stories of my late brother in Denver. Thanks.
Kenny is great. He has the best stories and he always finds the humor in them so that's it's impossible to not laugh along with him.
I know if I see Otis Gibbs, Kenny Vaughan and Waylon Jennings in the same youtube title, I don’t need to see more than 3 seconds of the video before I thumbs up. Stoked for this. Thanks for bringing it to us, Oat!
Rainy Day Woman Love It
Dang it, Otis... tell Kenny that you two blew the top off of the scale with this one. "Waylon LOVED Ralph. But I don't think Ralph loved Waylon..." 🤣😂🤣
"Somebody told me, when I came to Nashville, son, you finally got it made...."
MY BAND PRACTICED IN THE SAME HOUSE AS WAYLON'S BAND. This was in 1968, Scottsdale Arizona, and Waylon was the house band at "JD's" club. I never hung out with Waylon but I did play that famous Telecaster guitar with the rope trim. (The band I was in fired me because I wanted to do original music.)

And stupidly, I never knocked on his door. What at time that was, late 60s, early 70s. Whoa.
Kenny weaves a great yarn. He looks amazing and thank you brother. This is important work.
Thanks so much for these great interviews Otis. Cousin Kenny is so correct when he says when you hear Rainy Day Woman on the radio you just HAVE to crank it up.

But the beat as Kenny says. That disco country is so fantastic. We are always striving to emulate that groove. Thanks be to Waylon
I love anything and everything 💕 that WAYLON JENNINGS DOES, LUV HIM ,
Kenny Vaughan! What else is there to say, really?
(Whether waxing anecdotal, or spicing up a song with his fantastic guitar riffs, he's armed with the talent, savvy, and vibe to make it always sound so damned interesting to listen to.)
Another personal favorite is, “The Wurlitzer Prize” off the “Waylon & Willie” album…
ANY song by Waylon is my favorite.
I saw Waylon when Mooney was in the band and I will never forget it. Musically along with Richie Albright on drums hands down the tightest band I have ever seen.
Long ago and far away
Ever watch the movie Hell or High Water?
"A Couple More Years ". I sang with my acoustic guitar to a young lady who had a crush, but I am always faithful to my wife. Her sweet tears fell like rain, and mine fell a little bit too.
The strange thing is that nobody ever talks about the beauty and the great songs on his white mansion album, it waz perfect, he brought Jesse and a couple of boys from the Ozark mountain daredevils, I love every song on the entire album, I have my copy still unopened and my parents vynal cut that me and my friends from school played to death , thanks for the channel , it's my kind of youtube
Anything on Waylon is great he’s very missed n such a musician
Lonesome, ornery and mean, Rose in paradise, only Daddy. Keep up the great work Otis.
Keep the Waylon stuff coming, Otis. And milk Kenny for all you can get! He's chalk full of stories. Some Marty Stuart stories would be amazing.
I had RS Field produce one of my records. He'd be another amazing guest. He hired Kenny to play on that record and he was unreal. He snapped at snapped at the engineer (my friend, Jack) at one point telling him, "The boss (me) wants Flatts and Scruggs, not Rascal Flatts." Holy shit, I came out of my chair laughing.

I’d risk my life to see Waylon. Only one of my country hero’s I’ve never seen. But I love Ralph Mooney. He’s just the best. He’s my favorite steel player. Thanks for sharing
Kenny’s stories are fantastic
Favorite song I've gotta go back to Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way. I still set up straighter and crank it after the 1st 2 strums of the Telecaster.

"Waylon loved Ralph. I don't think Ralph loved Waylon?". Another cool observation, from Cousin Kenny.😆 1 more, while I'm at it, "who's this guy & why is he playing, like that?". I could listen to him tell stories, all day & night. Another goodn', Otis.
I used to get a kick out of Ralph with his shirt pockets filled with packs of cigarettes. He played great and made the songs rock.
You summed up Waylon’s success with one word, different. He was a trailblazer, and one of a kind, with an attitude to boot.
Shannon McNally's new album The Waylon Sessions feature Kenny Vaughan on guitar and is worth checking it out. :)
My favorite song is lets all help the cowboy sing the blues R.I.P HOSS
Asking me that question is the same as what's me favorite Skynyrd song . I Love All Of Them ! I'm greedy like that . Thank you Otis , please don't stop !!!
“Greasing his hair back with long hair.” I love it! Love Waylon, and yes, he was sexy, but his artistry really ruled! RIP
Thanks for another good one. These little things really add seasoning to stuff we already loved!
I was fortunate to see Waylon at The Bottom Line in NYC. I have to admit..I went there to see the opening act, Pure Prairie League.
But then... Waylon came out ! When Waylon's band kicked in...and Waylon started singin'...It felt like I was hit in the face with a brick !
A bit of a sad or bittersweet picture of our pal, Waylon, isn't it? And that Ralph was such a one of a kind.
Ralph was also the only one of his kind...not quite like anyone else, which to me just elevated his cool factor.
I heard a lot of those Mooney leads were his before he joined Waylon. He must’ve liked him well enough to reinvest his licks onto the new songs. Thank goodness! Something about that pedal steel
Waylon Jennings has way to many songs to name a favorite!! They’re all my favorite! Keep them Waylon stories coming! Thanks u!
Loved that story! Wow! Thanks. I’d say my favorite Waylon penned song is “Bob Wills is Still the King” and my favorite cover he did is “Jack of Diamonds” off the Are you Ready for the Country record!
That kickoff to Rainy Day woman sends chills down my spine, and like Kenny I’ve heard it a million times and it never fails.
When I heard Kenny mention Rainy Day Woman I had to go listen to it again and come back to the video. Keep up these type videos as long as you can
I have always been crazy
Otis, thank you for your program! Kenny is the best!
" Who is that idiot, and why is he playing like that ?" 😂 if Kenny needs a title to his tell-all book.
That was great Ottis! Met a guy who opened for Waylon around that same time Kenny referred to said Waylon was pretty edgy to say the least back then.Clyde is one of my favourites thanks Ottis and Kenny
Ain't living long like this...keep em coming Otis great entertainment
To try to choose a favorite Waylon song is impossible. I listened to Waylon almost exclusively for several years , back in the late 70s and early 80s. I cried when he died.
"Wurlitzer Prize" is my favorite right now. Tomorrow it may be "Belle of the Ball," "Dreaming My Dreams," or "Stop the World and Let Me Off." Too many good songs.
I love that song. I remember an interview where Waylon was asked what song he wished he'd never done and he said Wurlitzer Prize, I was like WHAT!!
I so agree!
My fav Waylon song is Old Timer. Waylon wrote it, great story and drumming by Kenny Aranoff. Such an awesome story he wrote.
Great interview, 'Waymore's Blues' is my favorite!
Great post Otis! Kenny Vaughn telling stories! More please!
Kenny Vaughn is one of the most underrated guitarist of our time. He has played with several big name acts. His style is original rock star and just cool as shit.
He plays guitar on Audrey Auld's "Sweet Alcohol" and the guitar work on that song is like nothing I've ever heard.
Thanks my friend! I love all Waylons music! I guess are you sure Hank done it this way is my favorite. Thanks again
Thanks, Randy!
Otis....I really enjoy your interviews and Kenny Tales are great to hear. I bet he has a million to share. One of you should just write a book of road warrior fables with a warning/claim that starts off like,The Twighlight Zone, to maybe keep yall from getting in trouble with the people being "lied about", but true stories are actually leaked to the wanting fans.

Louisiana Woman is in my top five. Soulful and sensual musically, and so Waylon vocally. A beautiful song! His vocals are sensual also! Lol
Kenny Vaughn is a true badass!!!
Otis Gibbs, this stuff on your channel is gold😀
Favorite Waylon song is tough, I'll just go with I've Always Been Crazy. I read once, don't know if it's true but it's funny. That Waylon looked over at Mooney and he was passed out on his steel. Waylon said the Moon has set.
I am just loving this series with Kenny Waughan!
\
Maybe "this time". Pretty partial to the cover of "been a long time leaving" as well, which has Kenny's Waylon's Roger's whoops in there.
Waylon was great! First heard him at Willie’s picnic in 1974.
It really even wasn't one of those big hits but where corn don't grow was my all-time favorite
Favorite waylon song , the conversation with hank jr , old school , i saw waylon in a small maybe 30 pepole show in wendover nevada , waylon was maybe 3 ft from me and my girl , my girl was really diggin ol hoss , i just gave him a thumbs up i was in a cast from a rodeo wreck in wym , utah johnny .

I'd have loved to see Waylon, RIP you are missed!!
I dig both of you. I just want to sit in the same room...just once....and listen to the stories.

Waylon is the Goat. Outlaw Bit and Do it Again are my favorites.
These videos are like gold to music fiends like us Otis. Thank you. Kenny is the coolest
Ole Moon!! I could hear him say that.. "On tha mutha fukn BUS!"
Hey Otis. New fan/new subscriber/lifelong Midwesterner. Just wanted to say thanks a ton for all this great content. Truly incredible, so whenever you get the time - Keep pumping these videos out! Thanks again!
Thank you!
Kenny is Hilarious. Great story teller
My theme song... I've always been crazy
Rainy day women!!! 🤘🙌👍
I’ve never been to Spain but everything is great on his Waylon Live expanded edition cd.
love that one as well!
Kenny Vaughn is a player's player
I love to hear stories about ol’ Hoss. Lonesome Onry and Mean has to be my favorite Waylon tune, but there isn’t one I don’t like. Love that sound of him and Ralph playing together. Pick it Moon!
Kenny is great with his stories.
Always the best way to start my day checking out your vodcast. Love Kenny stories. Hope your back on the road playing soon Otis but please don't stop producing these for your fans ..thanks. Rbh
Thanks, Sunny!
Man, Otis - I can listen to Kenny for
HOURS!
That was way too short but loads of fun + funny.
My favorite Waylon song will always be “The Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line”.
That & all the tracks on the mostly Billy Joe Shaver-penned album Honky Tonk Heroes.
As always, thanks Otis.
Too many to name just one but I would put "A couple more years" in the list!! Thx Otis!
Thanks otis! Love it kenny is the BEST
I think I've watched this now 156 times. Otis, this is my favorite episode you've put out to date. Well done. 🍻
Thanks, Matt!
Amazing. Favorite Waylon Song: Sweet Mental Revenge.
Clyde is my favorite song what a cool beat makes u wanna sit Bob your head
Kenny's right; Ralph Mooney was fantastic, and a lot of people in Nashville thought so, too. For a showcase of his Moon's playing, just get the expanded version of "Waylon Live." Ol' Waylon gives him the spotlight several times on that record, and Moon runs with it, hard.
Especially on Last Letter. Ralph's guitar solo sends goosebumps all over me. And the crowd really shows their appreciation of Moon's talent.
"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" of course.
Waylon Jennings - Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand.
It was only on his second or third album but that soon into the Outlaw Movement and it was taking the USA, I mean the Eagles got on Pop Radio at the time with what would now be called country before the Hotel California Album, as did a few others I could mention from the 1970's doing a southern country rock sound of the era that today would be country.
My favorite Merle songs were with Ralph Mooney. If I'm not mistaken: "Emptiest Arms in the World", "Bottle Let Me Down", and "Swingin' Doors". I take it that Ralph moved from West Coast to Nashville?
Another great one Ottis keep them coming, they are always a treat!
I watched a video recently of Kenny playing with Guthrie Trapp. Man Kenny can tear it up!
Old Timer(the song) from the Waymores Blues Part II album. I actually get request to sing that one at jam sessions. Most artistic and least comercial song Waylon did
Storms Never Last, Amanda.
Most all of them from the late 60's to the mid 70's
Waylon Jennings - "I Don't Have Any More Love Songs"
My favorite Waylon song is 'I've been a long time leaving' - and y'all wanna know why? It's because it has plenty of those woop woops of his
In fact, the expanded, 20-song version of "Waylon Live" is one of my desert-island discs. Not a dud song on it.
