A Moment Of Silence For Waylon Jennings


Country music has lost one of its giants. Or at least one of its outlaws. Perhaps the state flag of Texas should fly at half mast today. Or at least the one in Luckenbach, Texas.

I have one of his records, have really enjoyed his music (since discovering him when the Grateful Dead covered "Mama Tried" at a concert in 1978).

I'd really like to hear more recommendations for people's favorite Waylon recordings!

Thanks!

He was from the old school, which I favor. My favorites of his were written and performed in the 70's and there is a Greatest Hits albumn which shows him in his prime if anyone wants to see what he was all about. Best appeciated with an American beer, (or two, or three.)

Waylon came along to me with Kris Kristofferson et al, and had that special timbre and edge to his voice that was "one of a kind". In a word, WAYLON, Willie, and the boys.

You can sing all night long up there, friend.
