Album Details:
18 Great Tracks from the Late Cowboy "Outlaw" that Helped Set Country Music on Its Ear in Cahoots with Longtime Pal Willie Nelson. They were a Different Breed of Country Singer, Not Afraid to Show Defiance of the Nashville Establishment and Portrayed a Rough, Honky Tonkin Image....and People Loved and Respected Him for It. Jennings Had So Many Great Hit Singles, There was a Period of About 10 Years in the 70's and 80's Where it Didn't Matter What He Released, it Automatically Went Gold. He Never Forgot that it was his Place on a Small Plane that Mentor Buddy Holly Took One Fateful Night and Never Returned. There Will Never Be Another Like Him, No Other Voice Will Ever Sound Like Him.

These cuts capture Waylon Jennings in the first flush of his status as a country music superstar, after he gained control of his music in the early '70s. When he began to produce or coproduce his own records, it should be stressed, his music didn't change much--his "Good Hearted Woman" from 1972 (to cite the only pre-Outlaw cut here) is of a piece with later hits like "Honky Tonk Heroes" and "Luckenbach, Texas," from their ramblin'-man themes to Waylon's booming baritone and his music's burping bass lines. What was different was the rock-influenced Outlaw ad copy pushing his career, a rebellious new image he cultivated in country chart-toppers like "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" and "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," a duet with Willie Nelson. That new frame made all the difference. Jennings had always been great but now, on eight of the nine tracks here, his singles went all the way to the top of the charts. --David Cantwell

Waylon is definitely one of my favorite country singers. This CD has 9 superb hits, and it is hard for me to say which is my favorite. But "Luckenbach, Texas" and "Are you Sure Hank Done it This Way" would have to be my favorites.
Waylon is true country, real country. They don't come any better than he.

bought the album, wife wore it out, bought the Cassette, wore it out, got the CD, too Bad Wylon's not around to spend the $ on the last one. This obviously is one of the few albums I can't live without.

This stuff is WAILIN'! Now sure, you could say that others also knew how to wail. I mean, some would argue that AC/DC and Eminem wail, too. But WAYLON JENNINGS: GREATEST HITS is "Real Man" wailin', unlike those short pants-wearing Aussie sissies with the "switch-hitting" name (Eeeeew!) or that big wuss, M&M, a salty peanut, chocolate-covered wannabe in a thin candy-a## shell! No, boys `n' girls, OL' WAYLON is "real man" music for real men and the three or four women who can still recognize ... Read More

Simply put, Waylon Jennings undoubtedly was the greatest outlaw cowboy singer that ever lived. His history, actually having been present and almost done in on "The Day the Music Died" when Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens told Waylon, who had a cold, to take the bus is legendary and astoundingly prophetic. Afterwards, Buddy Holly's tinker toy plane ditched in the throes of a North Dakota Artic like night when crystal like ice permeated the atmosphere and contaminated their survival like a ... Read More
