when youre Waylon Jennings, you can forget the words all you want, because at the end of the day, youre still Waylon Jennings
😂👍
He had a shirt that said "Waylon Fucking Jennings, that's who!" Or something similar! Great pioneer in beating the Nashville music money system and doing it his way!
I’m pretty sure Waylon was high enough he didn’t know where he was more evidence To this could be the fact that he got arrested two years later for cocaine trafficking and how did he get out of the charge he flushed it down the toilet because he’s a bad ass
@@mrtoad8585 i read that waylon kicked the box of cocaine across the floor of the studio right when the FBI bust the door in and the box slide right under a ledge along the wall just out of sight
Space Catboy According to Waylon zone words he was recording a song in the DEA came into where the producer was and he hit the talk button so Waylon could hear and he was able to take it to the bathroom since they couldn’t see him and flushed a key of coke
Waylon was my first concert, 1977. He was at the peak of his powers, and I've been playing his licks ever since, incl. this song.
Waylon's phaser pedal and telecaster made for quite the sound, mixed with his history of playing bass and him bringing that technique to playing guitar is truly unique. Long Live Waylon.
Just want to say...I admire the musician you are Fil. To be a rocker in the UK but then, your knowledge of American Country artist, especially the really great of olds is so heartwarming. I don’t think you realize the great memories you give us by featuring these videos. Thank you so much.
You said it sooooo well!
I've learned so much about music watching these reviews. Listening to Fil will double your appreciation of the music you've always loved!
Yes, agreed!
You say words way purdyer than i do.
As a Memphis/nashvillian who grew up on a steady diet of hee haw, Kiss & 1970s rock, I agree. This cat knows what hes talking about
You've got to mention Ralph mooney, his little side kick on that steel slide guitar. Waylon loved him. Fantastic musician.
A lot of people make comment on his 'coke days' but, this is waylon jennings. What you see is what you get. Yet another legend, the likes we'll never see again.
Ralph Mooney played with Buck Owens and Merle Haggard but stayed with Waylon even drove the bus early on.
Every major musician was on cocaine in those days.
MY MAN!!!!! WAYLON ROCKS!!!! I lived across the alley from his studio in Nashville in the 70's - have many memories of him, his band & music - Me & others still play his music to this day!!! He CHANGED the way music was recoded in Nashville & has the 1st million selling album in country music with "The Outlaws" - He is an ICON!!! His "Honky Tonk Heros" written by Billy Joe Shaver - started the outlaw movement!! Waylon had the best live performances!!! He is missed & revered to this day!!
he is my hero for many reasons, musically, song writing, humour and character. When advised to get help for his addiction to chemicals and go to The Betty Ford Clinic, his answer, Betty Ford didn't get me on this shit I don't need her to get me off it. Then drove into the desert and went "cold turkey", he came back some weeks later clean. That takes balls.
My all time favourite musician. A real outlaw and a good country boy trying to make his mark in life.
From a radio program in Sweden around twenty-five years ago:
"So I got really drunk and unruly in Abu Dhabi and was hauled in by the local police. They noticed I'm a tourist of course and asked me "is there somebody you would like to call?". But the hangover had wiped all phone numbers from my mind, the only one I could remember was the one to PET SOUNDS /a legendary Stockholm record shop with their own import service/. For some reason I chance on that one, and they start slamming me for not having retrieved my latest batch of vintage Waylon Jennings albums...". 😃😃
When I hear the great Waylon..I want to be belly upped to the bar with a cold beer or a campfire with a cold beer..listen to his great band..thanks Fil
I was a little drunk and bellied up to the campfire and got a Brazilian. But a cold beer helped put it out.
@tintinesk5 oh yeah...that's been done before with me.
I'll drink to that
Waylon is a legend, partly because of his own guitar sound, his unique authentic sounding voice and his pioneering of the Outlaw Movement.
🎵"Let's go to Luckenbach Texas..."
🎵"Willie and Waylon and the boys."
"The simple life we're Iiving got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys."
@@sacluvsBM Country music is 3 chords and the truth.
Long live King Willie!
#Hashtag , Hondo Crouch bought Luckenbach , a few stone houses, a general store , a dance hall a flock of chickens and an alcoholic pig called Mona Lisa, June 29 1973 he organised the first Luckenbach World Fair, about 10000 came Freaks Straights all sorts, Hondo won the tobacco spitting contest with a spit of 23 feet, there was chicken flying, armadillo racing, and cow-chip throwing, from Becky Crouch Patterson's book Hondo My Father, the next year it was moved to Fredericksburg , when Waylon released Luckenbach Texas in '77 souvenir hunters kept stealing the road signs, used to drive around , windows down , Waylon Willie or the Hag blasting out, great stuff, greetings from England , home of FIL
@@robertsmyth4998
As a native Texan...
I appreciate your knowledge on the subject. I was around in 73 and remember it well. Hell, I've even smoked with Willie (twice). A huge HOWDY to you and a salute from the Lone Star State!
He had such a presence … and a sound that was his and his alone !!!!
Ahhh. Outlaw country at it's finest. Waylon was so good. So many great tunes.
That band was so tight rhythmically. Great song.
During that time his touring band the waylors were also the band that played on the recordings with him at that time
Waylon was probly jacked and had been awake for a week here
Yep. You can tell it. He's wasted.
Waylon didn't really get straight until he married Jesse.
Waylon was drugged up a long time after he met her. I think shooter motivated him to quit. @@mevrammcoyoteV8f150
@@spacecatboy2962 I think it was because Waylon always ran around with a spoon in his back pocket for coke, I think when Shooter was a boy he imitated that.
2 shots of Jack Daniels and 3 lines of good Peruvian flake! Breakfast of champions!
I really do enjoy your analyses of so many styles of music. You know more about more kinds of music that anyone I've come across. Rock!
Johnny Cash told a story about one time when Cash's bass guitarist was too sick to do two shows. Cash called Waylon and asked for a recommendation of someone to fill in. Waylon said "I'll come, I don't have shows this weekend," Cash wouldn't agree but Waylon convinced Cash that he (Waylon) would find someone and have them meet Cash at the sound check. The fill in showed up and it was Waylon. Cash insisted Waylon be his guest and do his own music for half the show. As an aside: Waylon Jennings remains in my mind the most magnetic artist I ever saw in concert.
Fantastic analysis! Waylon Jennings it's my favorite country & western performer of all time, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are right up there for me too! And one cannot dismiss Kris Kristofferson, amazing in his music and he was a damn good actor. This is definitely classic country today, Outlaw country was Notorious for all the fighting, drinking, and most of them did carry a handgun.
Nice one Fil.... always mixing it up & keep it interesting for us ! Thank-you 😎🎸 No requests tonight 😉
I've had the great privilege of seeing Waylon a few time in the 70s. Each show was great, maybe he was wasted, maybe not, but he was at work, and provided a good time.
Great Breakdown Fil! Keep them coming into 2021 and beyond.
That blown out of his mind is still that close to the album. Amazing!
Waylon Jennings is what comes to mind when I hear the phrase man's man. Awsome voice and personality. Very country. 😻
Yet another top player, Fil! Thanks for these videos and the information you give out on the great entertainers! Rock!!
I love Waylon, his voice, and that steel guitar
that steel guitar the one the only grade Ralph Mooney.. powered so much of Waylon sound..that if you notice a lot of time I lead guitar Waylon used to say basically he was just trying to play along with Ralph that's why you don't really hear hot country guitar licks like a Vince Gill or a James Burton kind of tele sound...Waylon used to always say he look over it Moon as Moon would be picking it and he would just try to play along
Waylon was very handsome and sexy.
@@floydfletcher4313 yep..I think better as an outlaw him and ole Willie.
see willie Nelson and waylon pics 1960s and its like wow!! lol
No doubt Waylon was heavily under the influence, but it was common for him to not finish the lyrics and just jam out. I saw him probably six or seven times on stage, both clean cut and outlaw. I think he got better with time. Thanks for the video, Fil.
He was probably blazing rails and trails during this performance.
I have always liked Waylon Jennings, as his music and vocals were a uniquely country rock sound. 👌 analysis again Fil.🌟👍🤘
He was one of my favorite country singers!
Always appreciate your comments b/c you highlight such interesting points about the music & musicianship! Thx for the variety of genre, also.
Man... Ol' Waylon's guitar had that ring to it... It's own sound... And that Banjo Tuner... Awesome Video... Great job with the commentary and analysis!...
Waylon mentioned in an interview about his opening remarks the 1st time they played at Max's Kansas City in New York, NY.
It was known to have a tough north eastern crowd hanging out in there. Any way Waylon said: "I'm Waylon and this is my band, we're from Texas and we will kick your ass."
Then they started playing and had a successful run there.
Nothing like a compressed Reverbed Telecaster. 🤙
I have a t-shirt that says "Waylon Rules!" on the front, and "Waylon F#@*king Jennings. That's Who!" on the back. Nuff said!
😂
I have that shirt
Love Waylon❣️ My favorite is Luckenbach, Texas. Anyone who doesn’t like country music should at least listen to that song, just for the message it conveys. Thanks, Fil, for keeping it interesting with all genres of music❣️
Waylon Jennings is my absolute favorite guitar player, I even covered my telecaster like his in leather
OMG loved Waylon Jennings a true Hellion and bad ass and one of my favorites songs and singers... facta about Waylon... he died at 64 years old complications of diabetes.. In his younger days, he was doing up to 1000 a day in cocaine, until he met and married Jesse Colter, who changed his life Heartbroken when he passed away but truly a renegade and super talented... Thanks again Fil remarkable review!!!
He was a patient in a hospital I worked in. I still have his Signature from a registration form. I was very sad to hear he was admitted and sick, but even more broken hearted to hear he passed away at a later date.
so awesome hang on to that and frame it.....and thank you and anyone who works in hospitals, for the people oxo
@@jojoz aw, ur too kind ..
Waylon married Jesse in 1969 and didn't quit coke till 1984.
Jesse Colter was a badass on her own right. The I'm not Lisa song did suck though.
FIL, I BELIEVE THAT JESSIE COLTER HAD A LOT TO DO WITH HELPING THIS MAN LIVE LONGER THAN HE WOULD HAVE, SHE LOVED HIM, AND HELPED HIM IN MANY WAYS, R.I.P. WAYLON, DAMN YOU ARE MISSED, COUSIN FIGEL
I put four quarters on his grave every month.,removing the ones left there by others. Legend is that each fan who visits him takes the 4 quarters that are there,and replaces them with their own quarters. Ensuring that Waylon is never "4 quarters short of a dollar". He once said that he was just that. That he was four quarters short of a dollar. :}
Waylon had a Guardian Angel - her name was Jessie Coulter. Johnny Cash had a Guardian Angel - her name was June Carter.
Such a lovely man. Knew family got stories. Proud to share a birthday
This was actually a soundcheck/rehearsal for a tv show. Waylon didn’t like to rehearse
Waylon was indeed, outlaw country, I love it ♥️
That's whats great about guys like him they're good enough to recover the fumble.
After living the past 42 years in West Virginia, I can say that some of us are still living in an outlaw State of Mind and loving it. Fine job professor for recognizing again. PS you mentioned them so what do you say, Willie, Johnny, Merle Haggard, David Allan Coe, Steve Earle, and Johnny Paycheck cuz we like him too. Peace Rock on
James Gordon aka Crazy Legs ...That's right! WV is "outlaw country" proud!! From a fellow West Virginian! Raised on and love my country outlaws! Have seen DAC a few times! 😎
@Brett Stanton correction made cuz I agree
@@greenworm7915 Rock on Mountain girl
There’s too many to list. A Marty Robbins analysis would be great.
@@Properformancenutritioncom I agree true musician through and through. Peace
Love Waylon. I had the privilege to see him live
For my money Waylon was a maestro for the ages! I saw him play about 6 months before he passed and he played seated but the voice and guitar chops were still strong! RIP Maestro!!!
My cousin Neal got to meet him in a bar in mandan north Dakota just a few weeks before he died. Drank a lot of beer listening to him.
Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings, Roy Orbison and many more all recorded at Norman Petty's recording studios right here in Clovis, New Mexico, my home. Thanks Fil.
That explain;s how Waylon was picked to be on Buddy Holly's touring band. His life was spared in that plane crash. and it had a profound effect on him.
Great video and analysis of the Outlaw sound. Was very fortunate to see many songwriter/musicians like Waylon and Willie back in 1970’s, at local fairs. Brings back great memories. Definitely a great beer drinkin’ song! Thanks for sharing Fil.
I’m glad I got to see Waylon live several times, he has an endless supply of great music and is one of the best musicians of all time!!
I never followed Waylon Jennings, but that is why I appreciate your analyses, Fil. You have introduced me to musicians I have never heard and given me insight into their music and their lives!! You're the best!!
Thanks again showcasing Waylon , the true Highwayman. You nail it everytime Fil. ✌
After a long day at work I come home and listen to you and you just make me smile thank you
Dr Fil, along with being a great musician one must not forget his iconic roll as the Balladeer for the Dukes Of Hazzard. Here is one of his great lines; "There's trouble and then theres trouble and the trouble with some trouble is at first...it don't look like trouble." Love Waylon!
Ol' Waylon during his cocaine years. He was pretty jacked up here.
Right on he was playing on a tv show when this was recorded. It wasn’t live he was just rehearsing fooling around.Good job
Enjoyed this a bunch Fil, Waylon was absolutely one of the greatest, RIP my brother.
Another great analysis! Love your diversity. Love my country outlaws!
I made my living playing guitar in a country band for a while. When I first heard Waylon back in the 70's I went strait out and bought a "Tele" and an Electro-Harmonix "Small stone" phaser.
Loved Waylon’s music! The pride of Littlefield Texas.
Barry Ray I spent a lot of time in Littlefield as a child, visiting my grandparents. My mom went to school with Waylon.
Michael Greer yeah it’s only fitting that his hometown museum is inside a liquor store.
@@inway404344 I'll have to go check it out - I haven't been back to Littlefield since my grandparents died in the mid 1990s. It makes sense they would have a museum eventually. When I was going there, nobody really cared about him. My mom said he was a greasy long-haired thug from the other side of the tracks. I grew up in Lubbock, which also didn't do much for Buddy Holly until the Gary Busey movie came out. Now they have a very nice Buddy Holly Center, with museum and music venue, etc.
Drove out there and his brother James drove me around giving me the personal tour of where they lived, played, worked etc. I even made “welcome” signs that look like Waylon’s guitars for James’ museum. Whoop whoop.
Thanks mate for sticking up for the Hoss. I don't know when the video was shot but Waylon had a rough time until he got clean. It still beats out any modern country shoebox crap out today
You cover a diversity of artists!!! I loved Waylon!
Now this is the video I've been waiting for! Specifically this performance because his guitar playing here is absolutely amazing and the camera shots are also great. And with the verse he left out which he always did live along with are you sure hank. Those songs he always left out the last verse and went straight into Moon's part then finally his part. And a side note imo he was soloing more from about 74' to about 79'. As years went on he was still playing along constantly in the background, but his solos were never as long as it was during 74' to 79'.
There should be a movie made about this bad ass outlaw!!!
Very surprised Fil, getting to Waylon that I grew up on, had that "wanted," cassette, 8-track tape, and record. He had his guitar stolen and given back to him before he died. Always be Native American favorite. Thanks Fil.👍🏽🎸🤘🏽
@Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan yes, Sir. Diné and Apache.
@Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan Full blooded not my profile. Lol.
Thank You Fil. Waylon was our outlaw, I was 27 Bluejeans and cowboy boots, working hard during the days and outlaws on weekends.
Cool!
I have that album still in original plastic wrap cost $5.49 cents I have taken care of my collection from the sixties and seventies. from all types of music I loved it all... thanks
I like the way that you analyze music.
FIL, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND YOUR COMMENTS, WAYLON WAS THE OUTLAW, MAY HE R.I.P., HE IS GREATLY MISSED, COUSIN FIGEL
I really love your channel, BTW. You give us so much information on the artists and the songs and it's really a treat to listen to. I hope you keep going strong on it.
I never considered Waylon necessarily country. He was just a badass! Got to see him live. Great fun. That Outlaw album is classic! Thanks for your analysis!
Waylon changed country music which was turning into circles his voice was unique.
He started a movement. They wouldn’t let him do his music his way, so he snuck in the studio, done an album with his friends and it became the first million selling country album. Very underrated as a singer. He once said that he made/wrote a lot of great music in the 70’s but couldn’t remember most of it because of the drugs. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame but didn’t go to the ceremony or really acknowledge it because of his grievances with the Nashville establishment.
That's why I loved him, other than his great music, he embraced his fans and gave the bird to the Nashville system!
Very insightful once again, Fil! I did not know this song as you pointed out some may not but, as it appears that about half way through Waylon didn't either, I'm okay with it!
HI FIL. WAYLON JENNINGS HE HAS ALOT OF GOOD SONGS.HES ALL COUNTRY. ALOT OF GOOD INFO. YOU ARE THE GREATEST. LOVE YOUR SHOWS. THANKYOU. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. LOVE AND PEACE
Waylon’s brother is really nice , my brother & wife got to meet him and visited with him for awhile last summer .🎸long live Waylon !! Sucks to be a diabetic, I know I’ve been one over 20 years R.I.P. Waylon
It’s a shame. Unless you were a fan of Waylon and Merle, you would never know what master guitarist they were...very unique sounds.
Texas Magnolia i once read that merle haggard wanted to be a great jazz guitarist first and foremost
Don't forget Roy Nichols & Red Volkaert , and Roy Buchanan once played for Merle in his early career.
Merle played a mean fiddle too!
Gave up his seat on the plane, the plane that crashed killing Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. Feb 3 1959.
Actually, Dion -- one of the four headliners -- set that record straight when he documented that final tour here: ua-cam.com/video/HIxwW3NbAx4/v-deo.html
hiheeledsneakers1 Everybody already knows that. Next.
Brett Stanton words that would haunt a man until the day he died.
@@RubesGoodBrainCoffee Dion's full of Sh*t, waited til everyone else is dead to start making BS claims
@@powhatan1165 So you really find it believable that the four headliners wouldn't be given first choice at flying in the plane; that a backup musician would be the one to fly? Get outta here.
Waylon from Littlefield, Texas. 37 mile away from my city, Lubbock, Texas. Love his music.
I'm from Levelland 15 miles outside of Lubbock. Live in Lubbock now and record music. Trying to keep TRUE ROCKABILLY AND COUNTRY ALIVE. I have a song called "Ms. Holly". Recorded here in Lubbock at studio 19. It's on my channel if you ever get a chance to listen
Now, this is the Willing Jennings. I remember. And he's good. He was really good.
One of my favorite voices of all time!
Thanks for your analysis of this Waylon video. Your very good at what you do, keep up the great work !
Waylon was the best singer ever and he could sure get down on that instrument he played.....best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was learning to sing with my church's worship team, one of the guys (who had one of the most beautiful voices I'd ever heard) gave me the best advice: Whatever happens, KEEP GOING. A lot of times, an audience won't notice if you've messed up a lyric or whatever. But if you stop dead or get a look of horror on your face, it kills it. Just keep going! Good words for life, as well.
Another fantastic video! U r an encyclopedia of knowledge. U rock.
Saw Waylon twice and once with the Highwaymen. He was the real deal!!
Fil, you gave a great explanation of the rundown on this performance. Thank you!^m^😎
Thanks Kathy!
My favorite old outlaw country boys great job...rock on brother😎
Excellent choice. Great video.
Love Waylon but, he is truly wasted on this one. His lead guitar playing was 100 times better than what we see in this clip, plenty of utube clips out there that show him less shall we say, festive. Anyway thanks for another great video, keep’m comming
Great analysis and rundown on Waylon Jennings and performing live on television. toward the end of this track it has a Duane Eddy twang sound to it. thanks for this one Fil.
The more I watch your channel, the more I like it. Such a breadth of artistic talent you showcase. Love Waylon. And I hate nearly all country music.
Waylon could sing the phone book! Love his music! I'm still finding hidden gems of his now and then to this day.
He's lit like a firecracker. More power to him.
I grew up in Detroit and at 12 started listening to a Canadian FM country station that was playing a lot of Waylon and Willie. I was in love with this sound when my friends were listening to pop music (Donny Osmund etc lol). I had never seen this video and thanks for analyzing it. :) Your insight is so interesting. When I first started going out to bars, the band we would go see always played "I Ain't Livin' Long Like This" when I came in because they knew it was my song. ha ha
Waylon Jennings was so awesome, great analysis and story behind the term Outlaw country!!
He was also very sexy.
He changed nearly every time he performed. He was known for playing instrumentals doing his shows.
Hi Fil! not a country fan, but Jennings was much more than that. He was literally a Country Metal Head, no BS. I know I'd never have started a fight with him!
@Chewy Ltd More than RUN DMC? Fuck yeah. More than Blue Oyster Cult, who should be, no.
@Chewy Ltd It is logical since the original rock 'n' roll is a hybrid of styles including country. OT but it is funny how you find the tracks of the various styles in odd places. If you listen the song by The Diamonds -"Come Lets Stroll" it is structurally a blues song allthough given out as a novelty dance song.
@Chewy Ltd It should be called the music HOF. We all might not like the choices, but the groups/folks they elect into the hall are pioneers in most genres of music.
@Chewy Ltd Very good point.
@Chewy Ltd It's been an uneven industry the entire time. There's no based on ability, ever.. It doesn't mean they give a shit about anything about what sold records and that very rarely had anything about quality of music. I'll keep my positions on my taste in music, at my age, it's typical late 60's to early pre-hair-band metal. Much of that will be ignored. I enjoy much more than that, I loved bands like Chicago, Steely Dan, Poco (which I finally hunted down a Legend CD) and so many others, but my favorite music isn't allowed in unless it got loud as programs could get, like Kiss, thanks to That Metal Show. So, now that they let them in, WHERE is That Metal Show? How in the F*ck is Nazareth or Thin Lizzy not in the HoF? Uriah Heap? It's all such bullshit!
I hate the whole system, it matters because it makes or breaks peoples income and that's why the R&RHoF matters. It simply took Heart that long because they didn't have room until the "Crew" who decides got their favorites in. It's pathetic, when is the last time you've heard of an annual voting period of who should go in? Never. Because it's never happened. It's bullshit. It's mostly based on sales and personal preference, fuck the fans because bands like Blue Oyster Cult, who sold millions, filled thousands of stadiums, have to wait behind bands in the genera like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
But Run DMC is there in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for years now??? That's just one example. Meanwhile, one member of BOC has died, so they all have to die before it's an option? Such bullshit. I love rap, I love SOME country, I love some classical (Especially Ravel), I love lots of music, but it's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there's other places for other music. Is there a rock & roll place within the Country Music Hall of Fame? No, there isn't.
Fan fact: one of his well know songs ended up being the theme song to a tv series called Dukes of Hazzard. it was called Good Ole Boys
Every one has to under stand after the plane crash Waylon quit playing music . Waylon said ( to live in Texas you have to have a lot of soul ) He is very correct !!!!!
Great review, I love the depth of your understanding of the scene. As a musician who is not necessarily a fan of country music your presentation helped me connect with the fact that good music, good playing should carry no label. The average listener obviously has no idea what's happening behind the facade of continous music while the seasoned musicians save the performance by shear, lightning fast and seamless musical response to changing circumstances on stage. It's as you say about phenomenal level of skill. Great review as always. Thanks.
Always loved Waylon , grew up on him, Willie, Krisstopherson, Cash, Conway, Loretta, all them old greats . Parents played their music all through my early years! Always loved the "Outlaws". Great Analysis as always.
Thanks Gwen!
