Waylon personified the outlaw country movement of the '70s.
Though he had been a professional musician since the late
'50s, it wasn't until the '70s that Waylon, with his
imposing baritone and stripped-down, updated honky-tonk,
became a superstar. Jennings rejected the conventions of
Nashville, refusing to record with the industry's legions
of studio musicians and insisting that his music never
resemble the string-laden, pop-inflected sounds that were
coming out of Nashville in the '60s and '70s. Many artists,
including Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, followed
Waylon's anti-Nashville stance and eventually the whole
"outlaw" movement -- so-named because of the artists'
ragged, maverick image and their independence from
Nashville -- became one of the most sign More...
Review about Waylon Jennings I'm gonna leave while still love you | Reviewer: Don Eichthaler
------ About the song I'm Gonna Leave (while I Still Love You) performed by Waylon Jennings
You took the little gifts i gave as though afraid each one contained some sort of bribe, and so the joy you might have had from someone giving cause they can has been denied, and now the frown of discontent upon your face grows deep and felt with time, and i'm gonna leave while i still love you.
I know there's no way that i can make upto you for whatever wrong, has caused you all the pain and sorrow that your heart has lived on for so long, and the wall you've built between us, higher now and harder now to climb, and i'm gonna leave while i still love you.
I wish that i could be all the reasons that you need to go on live'n, i wish that i could give you what you want so i can get what i'm not gett'n, but happiness is not a gift that i can bring you tied with pretty ribbons, and so before i'm left with only bitterness and memories of bad times, baby i'm gonna leave while i still love you, baby i'm gonna leave while i still love you.

------ About the song Amanda performed by Waylon Jennings
Waylon sang this to me at a concert in Owensboro, Kentucky in 1993 when I was 13. I hate country music, but my dad always liked Waylon and wanted me to go with him. My little sister and I were the youngest people at the concert as far as I could see, and Waylon talked to us between songs. When he found out my name, he sang the song to me but with different words than the Amanda song on his album.

------ About the song Door Is Always Open performed by Waylon Jennings
About the time rock n roll took a dive and turned into disco, along came Willie and Waylon.Outlaw country music changed my life.If this isn't the best song Waylon ever recorded,it's in the top five.His songs are a far cry from what passes as country music today.
My family came from Greene Co., Tennesse. I looked at old album, and he said his family came from there. My Grandmother's name was Ina May Jennings Sheets born in El Reno, OK. My cousin sent me a letter today that said. ROBERT WAYLEN JENNINGS, born in N.M. 2/21/1915. Before he died, in the early 90's, in Austin, TX, I saw him at outdoor concert, THE HIGHWAYMAN. If he is related to me, Micheal Garotte, French Nobility from Marseille, France. He was cousin to Louis XVI & his wife was Marie Antoinette. He built two ships in Marseille, and brought to N.J. and fought the British. He was good friends with Layayette. Garotte traveled down to Greene Co. to visit his daughter and no one knows where he was buried. Waylon Jennings died so early at age 65, I never had the chance to write him.

One of the best spiritual songs ever. | Reviewer: James H.
------ About the song I Do Believe performed by Waylon Jennings
This is the best song from the last Highwaymen album, 1995s "The Road Goes on Forever". It is an absolutely moving, sincere example of a man stating his spiritual beliefs simply and honestly.
I heard this song on XM AMERICA and it's scary. Makes you wonder what you're doing. Where can I find the song?
Waltz me to Heaven, Waylon | Reviewer: pat A
------ About the song Waltz Me to Heaven performed by Waylon Jennings
I was in Hawaii, staying at a hotel and The American Music Awards came on. Someone didn't show up, think it was Garth Brooks, and Waylon Jennings came on stage, with only his guitar and sang this song. It was and is one of my most favourite songs that he's recorded. Dolly Parton wrote it.......naturally.
really moving | Reviewer: James Smith
------ About the song Revelation performed by Waylon Jennings
the first time i heard this song by waylon was on the bill mack show on xm171. it makes a person stop and think.
"I Could Write A Book About You" is off the "Clean Shirt" albumn. This song is a duet with Willie Nelson. Very amusing stories of their younger, wilder days: A girl named Betty, not being about to go back to a certain motel because they didn't like yellow and green so they painted the room black. I loved the albumn but this song is a particular favorite.
