The Best of Waylon Jennings

by: Waylon Jennings

Release Date May 19, 2003
This is a great opportunity to gather some of the best songs by Waylon Jennings, one of the great "gurus" of country-western. His voice is warm, his music is cool and he is the singer of the lost cowboys! The only problem with this collection is that... it is a collection, thus lacking the spirit gathered in a full album, but if you don't know him, you should get this! Great tunes such as "You asked me to" or the mythical theme from "Dukes of Hazzard" are gathered in here. Excellent for driving, excellent for relaxing!

The Highwaymen

by: Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson

Release Date March 18, 2000
I bought this collection as a gift for my father as previous purchases of discs by the Highwaymen have been very good... However this is not as it appears... it is a collection of recordings... some of poor quality, by each of the four artists which make up the band. It is not all of them performing together as we had expected... I am greatly disappointed.

Clean Shirt

by: Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings

Release Date May 01, 2000
Waylon and Willie recorded several albums together, but some of them were made up of a mix of duets with solo tracks by one but not the other for contractual reasons. They did one for Waylon's label that included a mix of duets and Waylon solos (WWII) followed by one for Willie's label (Take it to the limit) that included different duets and some Willie solos.

On this album, they were both on the same label so they share equal billing, as it should be. Furthermore, they were both going out of fashion with country radio so they could record what they wanted, not being expected to produce hit singles. Free of contractual obligations and other pressures, Waylon and Willie recorded what I consider to be their best ever album together – ... Read More:

The Taker/Tulsa

by: Waylon Jennings

Release Date March 25, 2008
A super-budget-line reissue alongside Jennings' peerless "Only the Greatest". For a cheapie "Strategic Marketing Group" release the sound transfers are excellent, the original sleeve art nicely reproduced -- but a pity there are no liner notes putting the material in context. A small gripe maybe since you'd have to look at a big pricey Bear Family box set to find session details -- and even then you'd have the tracks scattered about in session order. Here are the original albums and great to have in all their 29 minute glory -- who needs twofers and bonus tracks at this price. "Singer of Sad Songs" ought to be next up in a perfect world (and a perfect reissue program -- fingers crossed).

The Essential Waylon Jennings

by: Waylon Jennings

Release Date September 03, 2007
Arriving in stores on July 24th, 2007, on RLG Nashville/Legacy, is THE ESSENTIAL WAYLON JENNINGS, a 42-song two-CD collection co-produced by Waylon's son, Shooter, that spans his career from 1964 to 1987, among them a dozen #1 Country hits and another 14 that reached the Top 10.

With the exception of the opening track ("Big Mamou," recorded at JD's night club in Phoenix) and closing track ("Rose In Paradise," his final #1 single, on MCA), the balance of the 40 songs celebrate Waylon's two decades on RCA Victor Records - one of the longest (and stormiest), most productive (and most combative), most gratifying (and most often frustrating), and most talked-about partnerships in Country music history.

With his extraordinary litany ... Read More:

Only the Greatest

by: Waylon Jennings

Release Date May 27, 2008
Critics -- and supposedly Jennings himself -- usually maintain his style was well and truly cramped by the machinations of his label RCA until around 1973 when he'd been making albums for almost a decade. Long out of print until now, this is the album to knock that argument flat. It's a Chet Atkins production on tracks from early 1967 to mid 1968 and is a perfect rich-sounding amalgam of Atkins two marketing concepts of the "Nashville Sound" and "Folk-Country". Jennings' voice is at it's most operatic. And material-wise it's all-killer-no-filler. The only cover-version (so often a lazy staple of 60's country albums) is a magnificent version of an already-great number: Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Otherwise it's stellar contemporary compositions ... Read More:
