Waylon is the best! He was my dad’s favorite! You need to listen to, I’ve Always Been Crazy Are You Ready for the Country Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way Lonesome, On’ry and Mean I Ain’t Living Long Like This.
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
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"
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!!!
What you were seeing was a silver bracelet with a turquoise mounted in it. You need to hear him singing with Willy Nelson. Their classic was "Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys".
The Outlaw, Godfather of the modern country sound, Ole Waylon, The Balladeer from Dukes of Hazzard. Ole Waylon was one of the greatest in the business.
Finally...Waylon gettin' respect from a reactor. He's got a catalog of great tunes that still thrill this old man. Definately he played an instrumental part of creating the sub genre of country known as outlaw.
Rambling Man came out in 72 I think,..check out his song...Mama Don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys and.... Good Hearted Woman...their both nice to jump on,thanks for your reaction give Donavan a hug,Sending love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑 hope ya'll have a Blessed Day 🙏
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.
Waylon by this time had been around and seen alot, he played with Buddy Holly band and was seated on the place that crashed, but another member took his state, and he rode the bus. Hum and Willy Nelson, were known as the Outlaws...you heard his great grandson, rap God we need you now...great job reacting.
I LOVE Waylon Jennings!! Here his son's name is Shooter, unless there's that Stuggle that I somehow missed. I'm a music fanatic, but Outlaw Country is my favorite! Waylon sexy as hell!! He has a great sense of humor & sometimes does goofy little things or changes the words to make it fun!! ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.
if you've ever seen the tv show dukes of hazard it is Waylon singing the opening and his hands playing the guitar. Johnny, Waylon Willie and Kris Kristopherson had a sup group called the highwaymen.
Back in the middle to late '60s through at least the '70s, there were some country musicians who wanted more control of their music, so they bucked the Nashville establishment, thus being termed, "outlaws". Many of them based themselves and recorded in Austin, TX.
I love Waylon, he is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of outlaw country. My favorite songs of his are Amanda and Rose in paradise, you should check them out. Great Video 👍
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. :}
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.
Agreed that's why they were all called outlaws u qant a real one? Merle Haggard and the new one ones now and o m6 God not Luke Brian or any. Garbage like that thats trash..they killed Nascar like they're killing countey. LORETTA Lynn said the same thing
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.
Grew up with Waylon and love him. Amanda is a favorite. Just any thing Waylon. Look up the Highway Men. Waylon, johnny cash, Willie Nelson Chris Christensen
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
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.
Waylon and Willie Nelson peformed together often. They were great friends. Check out Waylon and Willie, Mams dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys, is a great song.
If I remember correctly, back in the 50's Jennings and others did a rock and road show, and some was going to fly and some was going to drive to the next town show. Jennings gave his seat on the plane to Richie Valens (spelled wrong) later that night that plane crashed killing Richie and The Big Bopper.
Waylon and Johnny Cash were friends. They were in a group together called the Highway Men w/ fellow musicians Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Many Years later Waylon did a 2 cd set joking about being old w/ Jerry Reed, Bobby Bare and Mel Tillis. The title is Old Dogs.
I love Waylon Jennings, expecially Luckenback, Texas and Clyde Played Electric Bass. He is also part of the Highwaymen with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Check them out too. Think you will like them too.
Johnny Cas and Waylon were roommates at one time. And outlaw Country was a reference to the way he, Willie Nelson and others did their music. Before them, artists were told what to play, they wanted to play the music they wanted and how they wanted to play it. You should listen to Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Jo Shaver
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.
Cash and Waylon were Friends most of their lives.Before Waylon married Jessi and Cash married June they shared an apartment in Nashville and remained buddies for life.They did a great duet There Ain't No Good Chain Gang in the 70's and then in the mid 80's toured together and recorded 3 albums with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson as The Highwaymen,IMO those 4 are The Mt.Rushmore of music.check out anything by them,probably suggest starting with the song The Highwayman
Have you heard Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristtoferson together? They played and toured together as The Highwaymen. The 4 of them live are amazing!
Waylon Jennings "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line." Or "Waymore's Blues." - That one is live, and it has Waylon's wife Jessie, Struggle's grandma, in it. They talk a little and you get to see a bit of their personality in it. I think Struggle's daughter, Brianna Harness, looks a lot like her there.
Waylon and Steve Conte are my favorite male singers. Utada and Rie Fu are my favorite female singers. Check out his song called a long time ago, he mentions the day music died.
It’s refreshing especially a young Brit loves this music. This kind I grew up with. Please continue Gitana. Another outlaw group is Highwayman Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson & Kris Kristofferson together. -Kenny
He was considered outlaw because he was the first artist to truly tell the establishment to kiss his ass, and was the first country artist to gain the rights to all his music
Waylon's little sidekick was Willie Nelson. For a great experience listen to Willie's Red Headed Stranger album in it's entirety, beginning to end. It's a story. And they made a movie of the song. Starring: Willie Nelson, Morgan Fairchild, Katherine Ross, and many others.
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.
Just think in the early 80s you had Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Freddy Fender, Charlie Pride,Charlie Daniels, and Marty Robbins .. just a few legendary voices, all gone ,RIP.
The first time i heard of Waylon Jennings was when i found out about a young kid/girl that lived in cedartown in georgia, she was only 12 years old, she took her own life and filmed it. but for the last month of her life she made videos every day, her name was Katelyn Nicole Davis, Her RUclips Name was Itz Dolly, i found out that Waylon Jennings sang a song called cedartown based on the town. if you want to see her story look for a RUclipsr called John Chrymes, he did a documentary about her, it tells her story so well. i've never been the same since i found out about her. her story is so sad its a head wrecker.
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...
@@Roystothecoolkid This is from 1978 because two of Waylon's band members Gordon Payne and Rance Wasson who are playing electric and acoustic guitar in this video didn't join the band till 1976.
Outlaws chose to do their own songs instead of what the record companies wanted. It hurt their radio play in the beginning; but, made them legends. Waylan Jenning, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, Hank Williams Jr are some of my favorites.
At this time, what was coming out of Nashville was a syrupy, mass produced, disco sounding, country. Waylon told them he was doing it his way and got labeled an outlaw and outcast and the he put out the first platinum selling record in country music history.
Yes!!! And, Thank You. More Waylon Please!
Finally you got to Waylon he was one of the very best so much great music to pic from that he did
🤟
🤘
Waylon all day every day he is one of the legends
Waylon Jennings- this outlaw bit, awesome song
He's one of the greatest singer/songwriter that has ever lived
Great song! Great reaction! And great tangent there at the end... "hunt 'em down and slap those little pubescent's behind the keyboards!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waylon is the best! He was my dad’s favorite! You need to listen to,
I’ve Always Been Crazy
Are You Ready for the Country
Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way
Lonesome, On’ry and Mean
I Ain’t Living Long Like This.
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
💞 Waylon!
Always Been Crazy........ by Waylon
Waylon is one of the best.
I grew listening to Waylon Jennings and the Highwaymern .
He is a LEGEND!!
Just discovered your channel. Waylon was a pioneer in many ways.
I Remember seeing Waylon back in the early 80s when I was young at the Ohio state Fair
I grow up listening to Waylon
As I recall this song was released the summer of 74. Waylon won a Grammy for best Country album in 1070.

ANOTHER gerat reaction GITANA........thanx again
Country is for anyone. As long as you feel it.
Finally...Waylon gettin' respect from a reactor. He's got a catalog of great tunes that still thrill this old man. Definately he played an instrumental part of creating the sub genre of country known as outlaw.

Another great from right here on the south plains of Texas.
Waylon was a huge Johnny Cash fan & they were good friends!! They used to live together in the early days!
One of the Outlaws lots of great songs to choose from.
Waylon by this time had been around and seen alot, he played with Buddy Holly band and was seated on the place that crashed, but another member took his state, and he rode the bus. Hum and Willy Nelson, were known as the Outlaws...you heard his great grandson, rap God we need you now...great job reacting.
Great singer and songwriter. He was Buddy Hollys guitar player before the famous plane crash... listen to him... always been crazy
Outlaw country was a group of country singers/musicians that refused to play by the rules of Nashville. They wanted to do their music their way.
I LOVE Waylon Jennings!! Here his son's name is Shooter, unless there's that Stuggle that I somehow missed. I'm a music fanatic, but Outlaw Country is my favorite! Waylon sexy as hell!! He has a great sense of humor & sometimes does goofy little things or changes the words to make it fun!! ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes and he sang the theme song for the Duke of the Hazzard tv show
I grew up on Waylon. And others like him

He sang the theme song to the TV series "The Dukes of Hazard", also was the bass player for Buddy Holly.
Back in the middle to late '60s through at least the '70s, there were some country musicians who wanted more control of their music, so they bucked the Nashville establishment, thus being termed, "outlaws". Many of them based themselves and recorded in Austin, TX.
Good Hearted Woman, I have Always Been Crazy, Luckenbach Texas with Willie Nelson
Great reaction! Like your wit and humor! Stay safe! 😊🇺🇸

He wasn't a fan of the" Nashville Sound " even as a kid I realized the difference in the sound !
You know sometimes you just can't beat old school country
Grew up with Waylon and love him. Amanda is a favorite. Just any thing Waylon.
Look up the Highway Men. Waylon, johnny cash, Willie Nelson Chris Christensen
I want to know what is in the American food aisle!! ❤❤❤ I absolutely LOVE Waylon. Good reaction ❤❤❤
One of the sexiest singers of all time!! Difficult and sweaty, lol! Love it!
Pancho & Lefty Waylon and Willie Nelson classic!

I'm not a fan of a lot of old school country but there were a handful known as The Outlaws, Waylon was part of it and I enjoy them all.
I don't always listen to Waylon, but when I do, so do the neighbors
I love Waylon Jennings, expecially Luckenback, Texas and Clyde Played Electric Bass. He is also part of the Highwaymen with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Check them out too. Think you will like them too.

This is one of those song to play while drive down the hiway you’ll find you’ll be speeding to the beat
Technically Johnny Cash was Outlaw Country too. Waylon was in the Super Group The HighwayMen with Johnny Cash
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.

mug rootbeer is my favorite
Have you heard Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristtoferson together? They played and toured together as The Highwaymen. The 4 of them live are amazing!
Waylon Jennings "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line."
Or "Waymore's Blues." - That one is live, and it has Waylon's wife Jessie, Struggle's grandma, in it. They talk a little and you get to see a bit of their personality in it. I think Struggle's daughter, Brianna Harness, looks a lot like her there.
Waylon 🧡01
I was a fan when he first started
Waylon and Steve Conte are my favorite male singers. Utada and Rie Fu are my favorite female singers.
Check out his song called a long time ago, he mentions the day music died.
If a buck was still silver / are the good times really over for good.. by him is one of the best songs ever made
It’s refreshing especially a young Brit loves this music. This kind I grew up with. Please continue Gitana. Another outlaw group is Highwayman Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson & Kris Kristofferson together. -Kenny

Drink the root beer with ice it taste better.Also pour it over vanilla ice cream in a tall frosted mug it's called a root beer float.
Another great hit for Waylon & Willie is Leukenbach. You should also listen to Johnny Rodriguez' "Riding my Thumb to Mexico"
Waylon's little sidekick was Willie Nelson. For a great experience listen to Willie's Red Headed Stranger album in it's entirety, beginning to end. It's a story. And they made a movie of the song. Starring: Willie Nelson, Morgan Fairchild, Katherine Ross, and many others.
Outlaw country originals: Waylon, Willie, Jessie Colter (Waylon's Wife), Tom Paul Glaser, Jerry Jeff Walker, David Allen Coe, Johnny Bush (wrote Whiskey River).

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.
I like IBC Root Beer, but my All TIme Favorite is "Frosty's Root Beer"!!! Smooth!!!
You like that is walynn jennings nice to meet you
You need to check out the highwaymen
You should check out some of his early work with Willy Nelson, Tom Paul Glaser and Jessie Colter
They actually put out an album together called The Outlaws
Just think in the early 80s you had Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Freddy Fender, Charlie Pride,Charlie Daniels, and Marty Robbins .. just a few legendary voices, all gone ,RIP.
WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!
That is a Southwest Jewelry he was wearing on his left arm
Waylon one of the Outlaws.
Waylon is the MAN! React to.... Billy, Waymore Blues, Rainy Day Woman, Ive Always been Crazy
The first time i heard of Waylon Jennings was when i found out about a young kid/girl that lived in cedartown in georgia, she was only 12 years old, she took her own life and filmed it. but for the last month of her life she made videos every day, her name was Katelyn Nicole Davis, Her RUclips Name was Itz Dolly, i found out that Waylon Jennings sang a song called cedartown based on the town. if you want to see her story look for a RUclipsr called John Chrymes, he did a documentary about her, it tells her story so well. i've never been the same since i found out about her. her story is so sad its a head wrecker.
His son is shooter Jennings. He played his dad in the movie I walk the line. The movie is about Johnny Cash.
Are you sure hank done it this way. One of Waylon's best songs
Waylon Jennings is a favorite of mine. You should check out his classics like Amanda, good ol Boys, luchenback Texas, etc.
His Outlaw album that also featured Willie Nelson and his wife Jesse Colter was first album to be certified platinum
I'm a big fan of yours.
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...
He’s The Godfather of outlaw country
That way it call outlaw country music and yes this his grand son
This preformed in 1978, for the 'Cowboy Jack Clements Show'
This performance is from '75
@@Roystothecoolkid This is from 1978 because two of Waylon's band members Gordon Payne and Rance Wasson who are playing electric and acoustic guitar in this video didn't join the band till 1976.
Outlaws chose to do their own songs instead of what the record companies wanted. It hurt their radio play in the beginning; but, made them legends. Waylan Jenning, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, Hank Williams Jr are some of my favorites.
At this time, what was coming out of Nashville was a syrupy, mass produced, disco sounding, country. Waylon told them he was doing it his way and got labeled an outlaw and outcast and the he put out the first platinum selling record in country music history.
