Amazon.com:
Though the late Waylon Jennings has had numerous greatest-hits compilations, this four-disc box that encompasses almost half a century of music making is his first comprehensive, career-spanning anthology. While the 1970s and early '80s were plainly Jennings's commercial and creative heyday--when the Outlaw movement christened by his recording of "Ladies Love Outlaws" was in full swagger--highlights here extend from his 1958 revival of the Cajun classic "Jolie Blon" (produced by Jennings's mentor Buddy Holly) through his swan-song recordings with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson as the Highwaymen. The trademark lope of Jennings's music and his penchant for self-mythologizing material give him a strong signature sound, but the anthology shows just how much musical territory he covered--from his folkish reading of Gordon Lightfoot's "(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me" and his bluesy transformation of Little Richard's "Lucille" through his dips into the songbooks of Neil Young ("Are You Ready for the Country"), Jimmy Webb ("MacArthur Park"), and Los Lobos ("Will the Wolf Survive?"). The 140-page booklet provides thorough credits and annotation, as well as an abundance of photos of Waylon with friends, fellow musicians, and every famous person he ever met (from Muhammad Ali to Metallica's James Hetfield). --Don McLeese
Album Description:
A previously unreleased duet with Johnny Cash is among the special tracks to be found on the Waylon Jennings boxed set "Nashville Rebel," due Sept. 26th via RLG Nashville/Legacy.
"The Greatest Cowboy of Them All" was recorded in 1978, the same year the late Jennings' duet with Willie Nelson, "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart.
Beyond such hits as "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," "Good Hearted Woman," "I Ain't Living Long Like This," "Highwayman" and "Rose in Paradise," the four-disc collection includes two early period tracks that have never been released in the U.S.: "It's Sure Been Fun" and "People in Dallas Got Hair."
"Nashville Rebel" was created in tandem with Jennings' widow Jessi Colter and their son Shooter Jennings. Liner notes were penned by Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye and country historian Rich Kienzle.

This is a must have for anybody who loves Waylon's music. He is definitely the legend of outlaw country and Nashville Rebel is a beautiful collection of his music. He was a Nashville Rebel for doing his music his own way and every song in this collection is great.

I now have listened to Nashville Rebel beginning to end 4 times. The sound is excellent, and the notes for the set are equally good. It is hard to argue with the selections, especially as the widow and son participated, but that is exactly the source of my 'but.'
Over the years, Waylon has risen in my rankings. 20 years ago, I saw Willie Nelson as the greater Country artist. Now, I place Waylon ahead of many that before I was absolutely certain were his superiors (Merle Haggard is another ... Read More

This is a must have for any Waylon fan! All the great songs, some old rare ones, some previously unreleased. Another good thing is this 4 disc set is chronological,, so you could listen to the whole thing and you are basically hearing his career progression. R.I.P. Hoss, You are missed!

hardcore country fans of course know this, but it escaped me for years, born in 1975, in the magee mississippi, that gave me my music roots, i never much liked radio country, even in the 80s, our heros were hank sr, jimmy rodgers, carters, maybe cash or willie sometimes, but this set has reminded of how good country music was even up to the 60-80s
i play everything from hardcore, to jazz, to jazzcore, to an upright and slide steel, and this is the missing link of my chain, nothing pop about ... Read More

If you are even a somewhat fan of Waymore, you'll be a huge fan after you listen to this box set. It is well put together, including all the classics and more. Many have tried to imitate, however theres only ONE Waylon Jennings, the best damn outlaw the world will ever see!
