But Clapton or Billy Joel, no smoke, no mirrors just raw talent. I’m so disappointed I didn’t know country music during this brief period when “The Absolute Legends”, imho, were touring. Oh my!

      Back to the edge of a time when courageous men had carved a country out of a wilderness that covered a continent.
      Then came those who were softened by having too much plenty of everything, with no need to struggle, or do a days hard work for it, educated way beyond their innate ability, concieted, entitled and thinking they knew best, sneering and condescending to the ones who farmed the land, the linemen ,the maintenance men who fixed things when they broke. They insulted and undermined the stay at home mums who were doing that most important job of all, raising their kids right. They were called liberals, the ones who fkd it up.
      God bless you America and get well again soon.

    It always makes me smile right at the beginning when Kris comes marching onto the stage just as the song begins! He's still connecting his guitar as Willie begins singing. I guess it is a simple example of how well they all got on and how comfortable they all felt with each other. As many, many others have said many, many times - how could any group of musicians ever be better than these four?

      Good observation! I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. I re-watched it a few times and figured out that he was doing a guitar swap. For a split second right at the very beginning you can see Kris handing off a guitar to someone in the shadows and then he turns and picks up a second guitar from a stand on stage, which he then plays for the rest of the song.

      Every time I watch The Highwaymen, I am impressed. I am impressed at the bunch of backing players and singers, all working together to make a big, full sound and all live. And I am particularly impressed that these four legends seem to happily share a stage, and far from fighting, seem to calm down and have fun because none of them has to carry the whole show like they each do when performing solo.

    I remember sitting in the Chicago MCC...as a federal prisoner.....thinking of this song...and hearing the train in the distance....And being taken over to Court in the early morning. For prisoners...we had one hell of a view in the Court holding cells....facing Lake Michigan in the AM....it was beautiful....a way to take your mind away from where you were.
