I've cut out the album songs, so hopefully this interesting story with the four singing songwriter legends will not get blocked • Kris Kristofferson Mix...
@@DrVonNostrand Yeah, Kris is the loser in the bunch, he is only a Rhode Scholar and has written some of the greatest songs in Country Music: Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through The Night. Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends. For The Good Times, It's Over, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Why Me?.....the list goes on and on. Everyone who was anyone in the music industry has recorded his songs. Elvis recorded four or five of them. The guy is amazing at everything he does. A true icon and a gifted performer.
These guys were all such great musicians. But they were even better songwriters and story tellers. The Highwaymen took the concept of a supergroup to a whole new level!
Man i miss Waylon , there is nothing better than standing beside my grill, beer in hand listening to old Waylon tunes with my 28 year old son. He is passing Waylon's music down to his sons. I'm a fan of all the highwaymen but Waylon is the top rung for me!
@@nateand3 each one is different from the other. But Johnny is Johnny.. he is the voice of the beaten down, inmates, desperados, and any kind of soul in pain... thats brilliant.
@@torofdz89 hey brother, I don't disagree in the least. Johnny Cash ia amazing. Everybody knows who that voice is, even people who don't like country music.
Story telling is something that is vastly missing in music today. These gentlemen personified it!! They are every bit a part the great American vernacular of music & story telling. I’m glad Willie/Chris are still among us and I miss Waylon and Johnny. They all worked so well together!
Waylon has been my hero since i was a young boy watching Dukes of Hazzard. Takes me back to such a innocent time in my life when my Grandparents were literally everything to me. I miss them and Waylon everyday they are not with us. RIP
These guys were the real deal. America's greatest gift to the world (I'm not American) is its music, and together and separately they gave so much to it. We're lucky we still have Kris and Willie in 2021.
Yes totally agree, although it's a bit sad that they're not more well-known in the rest of the world, as a European I just recently discovered these guys and they are currently my favorite band.
I do believe that had I been able to sit in that room with those four men, I probably would have passed out. I can't even imagine. These guys were (and are) more than legends... these men are national treasures. I met Cash briefly in 1997 at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark Delaware, shook his hand and he signed a photo for me, I was unable to speak! I remember my hand was shaking when I reached out to grab the photo when he handed it back to me. Later that same evening, I also met Willie Nelson. Willie had a fishing hat on that I think someone had thrown onto the stage- I didn't have anything with me for Willie to sign, he says to me and my friend "Do ya'll want an autograph"? And I told him I'd love that but I didn't have anything with me for him to sign- he took that hat off of his head, signed it to me, and smiled when he handed it to me and says "you can tell everyone you got Willie's hat". That hat is still on my wall. My buddy that was with me didn't have anything either, Willie says "someone give me a hat" and someone in his entourage hands Willie a ball cap, and he signed it to my friend. To be as famous as these men, and still take the time out for folks is real class. I met Waylon too at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling, WV in 1994. He signed a picture book for me. I wouldn't sell these items for any amount of money. Sadly, I never have had the opportunity to meet Kris Kristofferson... but I did get his autograph.
love how John was not impressed by guns and roses throwing TVs out of the window. All he had to say was that he knew the price of it. You know you’ve paid for something multiple times if you can recall the exact price even 20 + years later. such a guy
Cash and the band did some really crazy stuff when on tour in the late 50's and early 60's. At one time, they bought a dozen of baby chickens and released them on each floor at the hotel they were staying at. Another time, they took a saw and cut off the legs on all the hotel room's furniture so that "the small people could enjoy them". They painted a hotel room completely black and didn't leave anything out - even the windows and furnitures were painted! One of the craziest things I've heard was one time when Cash and the two other bandmembers (Marshall Grant and Luther Perkins) got separate hotel rooms next to each other. So Cash simply took a fire-axe and chopped out a man-sized hole in the wall in between the two rooms, so that he could walk through!
Wow I’ve never seen these dudes really interact like buddies. I’ve always seen them as gods amongst men. Very humanizing and I love it. Thanks for this video
Lily D yes that was great. The saga of Johnny and June is one of the greatest love stories around imo. Watching them together anywhere or talking about the other when alone, the love, respect and just plain liking for each other they had is rare, especially long term. They were the loves of each other's lives. I think most fans knew that when June passed, Johnny wouldn't be far behind. He didn't want to live without her. ❤️
I am glad to find this video with all the candid footage. I wish there were more of these type videos available. Their performances were awesome and legendary, but it's cool to get a chance to see them in a casual setting. I love Willie's comment to Waylon at the end, blue bayou, cracked me up. I love that quick wit.
Major fan of the spirit and history. Grew up on all of them in the 70's and have all their music still. Live long! I hope the next generation discovers this.
January 2023, and this is still awesome! There will never be country like this again. Don't get me wrong, there are some good country songs, but these guys... They set the bar, and I don't think there will ever be anyone to set it any higher.
WOW!! I get so emotional watching these guy's.... They are the best of the best... And Yes they will live Forever in the heart's and mind's of those who so truly love them... LEGENDS ALL!! THE HIGHWAY MEN. THANK YOU!!🙏🙏💞💞💞💞💞💞👍😊
Waylon and Johnny Cash have powerful speaking voices, everything they say sounds so meaningful. I guess with their level of talent and the lives they have lived/lessons learned they do have a lot of wisdom.
I was raised up on these guys. My dad loved Johnny, and Waylon and Willie were a couple of his favorites. When these four formed the Highwaymen it thrilled him. My dad passed a couple of years ago and as I watched this video, I imagined him watching with me and the joy and laughter we would have had together. As George Jones sings, Who's gonna fill their shoes?
Fantastic documentary! This is the first time I've seen those amazing, irreplaceable artists just sitting around, being themselves, and talking. Of course, the excellent music doesn't hurt, either.
Four absolute legends that seemed to be having the time of their lives when they were performing together. After all this time I still get goosebumps watching them perform.
Willie should tell all us young old boys more story's of our heroes waylon and johnny while he is the last one left of our country heroes. Damn I miss them. I'm 44. Always loved them
Waylon is my favourite country singer followed by John and willie, never found my self listening to kris apart from in outlaws songs but RIP Waylon and Johnny you legends.
Im only 42 and remember those/these days hearing/listening to these songs/singers with my Grandparents. There was a place called Blarney Island in Antioch, Illinois where i started working at 10 years old and they played these songs all the time, all day. God how time passes. I hope those boys know how many memories they have created for people. They are truley a treasure. My Grandma and Grandpa would love this! Please God rest their souls and tahnks for all the memories!
@@absolutelynonameslef - Yep, and Willie's turned 88 in April - is still singing with his sons - and has just released #LoveOnTheBorder with his daughter. Think it's on TH-cam and is in support of @Greenspace. Kris has said he'll never go "on the road again", and I was lucky enough to be at the gig in Glasgow in 2019, part of what turned out to be his last European tour. I so regret not seeing the Highwaymen in Aberdeen in 1992.
As an artist myself, I can completely relate to their "storytelling jam session" - how the creative energy feeds on itself while being passed around from person to person... and the explanations offered as impetus for the song writing... it doesn't get better than this!
The stars, earthly and heavenly, came together at a time when the world was drifting away from country, rock, folk, bluegrass and blues. Glad I lived through it.
I don't know if I should cry, jump up and down like I'm 16 again.. I'm 49 years old and I remember listening to this with my dad. This was our favorite album catfishing in the Apalachicola River
This is some of the best content I've ever seen, ever! Saw a meme today that was a pic of these 4 guys smiling at ya, and the caption said, POV: your friends waiting for you to get off work so you can go out on Friday night. Could you imagine how cool it would be to hang with these guys on a friday night? Think it was posted on Willie's instagram actually. What a night that would have been!
Mickey Rafael is icing on the cake. SUPERB TALENT, so much fun to follow him around the stage nonchalantly enjoying the performance along with the rest of us. Want to join fan club but can’t gain access.
We have been blessed with the big 4 of metal, the big 4 of grunge, and most of all the big 4 of country. Thank you guys so much for leaving behind such and amazing legacy and for inspiring me to learn guitar and learning how song writing really should be.
When ever I need a dose of the way things used to be.i look this up. It tickles my longing for older memories of a simpler time. .before social media and the bs that has become the norm.
Thanks so much for uploading this - it made my day after a hard day at work.. They were/are all so great, but Cash will always be the greatest. And I'm so happy that Kris and Willie are still around.
Precious country music history. American history. LEGENDS of American country music, pure lovers of life. Tell us another story guys. Better yet, SING us another story.....
Waylon died 13 months before I was born. Johnny died almost exactly six months after I was born. I never knew them at that time, but I miss them all the more. I have a passion for good country music and if what they wrote wasn't good country music, then nothing is. I have sort of deified them in my mind and so I loved watching this. Watching them be normal, everyday people. Watching Johnny eat that ice cream while June spoke really struck me.
Only two left to tell the stories About the good times and the bad Only two to tell the tales Of crazy dreams and tears they shed. Gone are lines along the highway Travelled so many times before The highway boys are gone forever Well never see their likes no more.. RIP. WAYLON.JOHN.
I really enjoyed that!!! So bittersweet bc it doesn’t seem like some of them are gone…but they’ll always be around!!! Just like Willie was saying. Just saw him in concert, and he’s still hanging around.
They all came from such humble beginnings, I don’t think they ever let that leave them and they were able to stay humble.this also applies to our female country stars- Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. I think they were proud of their roots and always embraced it.
@@GradyPhilpott his parents disowned him when he started his music career, he was a custodian at a recording studio and read the letter his mother wrote to him to Johnny Cash. He risked everything to become a musician and lived a pretty humble life once he decided that.
@@SJ-ni6iy Kristofferson was the son of an Army officer, an Army officer and helicopter pilot, himself, as well as a Rhodes scholar. Even while trying to work into show business, he worked as a helicopter pilot in support of the oil industry, which is not a low paying job and includes many benefits. That he took a job at a record company as a janitor is hardly a sign of destitution, but rather a clever means of bringing in money, while having the opportunity of pitching his songs to already established performers and producers. I'm not taking anything away from Kristofferson. He had to pay his dues like virtually everyone else who "makes it," but compare Waylon, Willie, and Johnny and their lives growing up and you will find a stark difference in upbringing.

Who else didn't want to see this end?
You wouldn’t survive in this room being a regular person
I want to hear more about the apartment Waylon and Cash lived in. Johnny making biscuits wearing all black or Waylon doing dishes- that’s priceless
Could've watched this for hours!
As long as people can hear it will never end.
ME!!!!
Can you imagine the crazy fun times these guys had? No phones, no media, just party and good times. Crazy life if you survived
These guys were all such great musicians. But they were even better songwriters and story tellers. The Highwaymen took the concept of a supergroup to a whole new level!
Definitely...an original supergroup 🎼
Yup, the only other supergroup that ever came close was the traveling wilburys.
Willie Nelson when asked why he joined the band answered “I thought it was called The High Women”
Today his Willie’s Reserve weed brand is supplied by “a lot of gals up in Colorado” whom he refers to as, yes, the High Women

Absolutely, long live the Highwaymen.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
Must be all the weed. I ain't gonna smoke weed with Waylon and Willie again.
Man, Willie was old 30 years ago...
That moment from 4:04. As a Fort Worth native and resident I find it pretty accurate and hilarious! RIP Waylon Jennings
5-24-23. RIP Waylon Cash and Kris as of May 2023 we only have Willie. We will always have the music movies videos thanks for sharing❤

Waylon you are so missed!😥 At least I can listen to that same spirt you had through you grandson Struggle Jennings. 💗
Love this....This Is REAL Country music 🎶😍
Thanks so much for uploading this - it made my day after a hard day at work.. They were/are all so great, but Cash will always be the greatest. And I'm so happy that Kris and Willie are still around.
Precious country music history. American history. LEGENDS of American country music, pure lovers of life. Tell us another story guys. Better yet, SING us another story.....
Loved it, absolutely loved it. This is why these gentlemen became legends in the music world.
waylons impersonations are on point 😂
This is just wonderful to watch and listen to. Outstanding Stuff.
So wonderful that you could share your personality so miss Johnny and Walon that video is wonderful Christy Sioux Falls South Dakota
From 10:50 until 11:46
Waylon had me laughing hard!
"it's the most romantic city in the world its has.... Cheese" he's hilarious
Waylon died 13 months before I was born. Johnny died almost exactly six months after I was born. I never knew them at that time, but I miss them all the more. I have a passion for good country music and if what they wrote wasn't good country music, then nothing is. I have sort of deified them in my mind and so I loved watching this. Watching them be normal, everyday people. Watching Johnny eat that ice cream while June spoke really struck me.
Only two left to tell the stories
About the good times and the bad
Only two to tell the tales
Of crazy dreams and tears they shed.
Gone are lines along the highway
Travelled so many times before
The highway boys are gone forever
Well never see their likes no more..
RIP. WAYLON.JOHN.
I really enjoyed that!!! So bittersweet bc it doesn’t seem like some of them are gone…but they’ll always be around!!! Just like Willie was saying. Just saw him in concert, and he’s still hanging around.
I so enjoyed watching this in 2022 .
Miss those days of good story tellers ♥️
6:46 When Kris was talking about "Figment of our own imaginations" it totally made me think of Freddie Mercury.
This is great and make me in high spirit thanxvery much from Sweden
Thanks for posting this video, It was great to hear the stories.
Great bunch of people, awesome chemistry between them - legendary!
I loved seeing Willie sitting on the beach in his windbreaker ❤.
They all came from such humble beginnings, I don’t think they ever let that leave them and they were able to stay humble.this also applies to our female country stars- Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. I think they were proud of their roots and always embraced it.
I think it's a stretch to say that Kris Kristofferson came from humble beginnings.
@@GradyPhilpott his parents disowned him when he started his music career, he was a custodian at a recording studio and read the letter his mother wrote to him to Johnny Cash. He risked everything to become a musician and lived a pretty humble life once he decided that.
@@SJ-ni6iy Kristofferson was the son of an Army officer, an Army officer and helicopter pilot, himself, as well as a Rhodes scholar. Even while trying to work into show business, he worked as a helicopter pilot in support of the oil industry, which is not a low paying job and includes many benefits. That he took a job at a record company as a janitor is hardly a sign of destitution, but rather a clever means of bringing in money, while having the opportunity of pitching his songs to already established performers and producers. I'm not taking anything away from Kristofferson. He had to pay his dues like virtually everyone else who "makes it," but compare Waylon, Willie, and Johnny and their lives growing up and you will find a stark difference in upbringing.
