A good Waylon song is Mama's don't let your Babies grow up to be Cowboys. Kristofferson is a prolific writer and singer. Help me make it through the Night is a good one. He also wrote Sunday Morning coming Down that Cash made a hit. He's also known for Me and Bobbie Mcgee
Kris also wrote Me & Bobbie McGee, made iconic by Janis Joplin
"Sunday Morning Coming Down" is the greatest morning-after hangover song ever written. Kristofferson desperately wanted Johnny Cash to record it, but he kept getting stonewalled every time he tried to get a demo to him. So, being a former military pilot, he rented a helicopter, landed on Johnny Cash's front lawn, walked up and knocked on the front door, and handed him a cassette tape of the song. The rest is history.
Waylon was a Cricket, the band that was with Buddy Holly.
Don’t forget “Help Me Make It Through The Night” by Sammy Smith
Waylon Jennings was not only a Country Music legend, he was the "Voice" for the Dukes of Hazzard TV show! He sang the Theme Song and narrated the Show!!
He was in a couple episodes too.
You bet me to it
Bandolier
"Highwayman" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history: as a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship.
Waylon Jennings is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of Outlaw Country. This was so serious in Waylon's life that it actually had him get into some heat with the law, which inspired him to write a song about it called, "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got out of Hand". A true classic, it even inspired Lead Singer James Hatfield of Metallic payed homage to the late Waylon Jennings by making a rocked out cover of this song and performed it live in front of a live audience at a country music event which the crowed loved. I recommend you react to both, but make sure that you react to the original first.
Read history of Kristofferson interesting..read he landed.a helicopter on Johnny cashe's lawn to show his songs .early on as he was a skilled.pilot.
Also Hetfield was inspired by a story by Waylon about wasting his hate on a guy he thought kept looking at him at.a bar (turns out they weren't) and a track on Load is based on that
I think, without being completely allegorical, the song is about the human Spirit of Adventure in all of its forms ... the criminal, the dangerous professions, the creators, and those pushing the boundaries of what's possible. And that they will always be with us in some form.
Waylon Jennngs & Willie Nelson have a great duet - "Good Hearted Woman" ... you'll love that one.
Waylon may be best known for the Theme Song of the Dukes of Hazard
Which he also narrated.
Waylon Jennings was a brilliant singer. He played bass in Buddy Holly's backup band at the Winter Dance Party (after the Cricketts broke up) and was supposed to be on the plane with Buddy Holly, but he gave his seat to the Big Bopper, who was sick. When the plane crashed, Waylon had a lot of survivor's guilt for a long time after that. He was only 19 at the time.
Ritchie Valens also died in the crash. Inspired the song The Day the Music Died.
I came to say the same, especially since he recently reacted to American Pie. It all comes full circle
I didn't know that about Waylon, and survivors guilt is something that never goes away 😢
@@Washougalite1Buddy Holly chartered the plane for himself, Tommy Allsup, and Waylon. Tommy and Ritchie tossed a coin to determine who would get to ride. Waylon voluntarily gave his seat to The Big Bopper, who was suffering with the flu. When Holly heard that his band mates had given up their seats, he jokingly told Waylon, "I hope that old bus freezes up!" Jennings replied with, "I hope your plane crashes!" An hour and a half later the plane crashed.
The reason for Waylon's grief was him and Buddy Holly got in a bad argument, and the last thing Waylon yelled at Buddy was, I'll see you in hell.
This has been one of my favorite songs since I was 8 years old. I'm 50 now so that says something! I love this song so much. All 4 of these gentlemen are complete awesome badasses!
Lukenbach Texas …love that Waylon song!
My favorite
And I WILL be "Going back to Luchenbach Texas" next month for real.
I love the live version too. The point of the song is that we are always here, our souls never really die. We always come back. In another form but we do come back
In the live performances they were known to trade parts.
"We will come back, come back again, As long as the red earth rolls. He never wasted a leaf or a tree, Do you think He would squander souls?" I've loved that quote for a very long time although I don't know its original source. This song always makes me think of it.
You can come back if you want ,I'll stick with eternity in heaven.
@@user-cw5cz5vr5iYou can have the heavens. I'll return to the earth, plants, trees and water. I can serve a much better purpose helping the earth than dancing in the heavens, as much fun as that sounds
I know i will get a lot of negative comments but Waylon voice is the best. I love the other 3 as well. I grew up listening to Willie Nelson. Need to read up on Kris Kristofferson, he wrote the song why me lord. He is also was in special forces and a Rhodes Scholar.
Waylon is a king 👑! Love the other 3 too.
Kris worked as a janitor for a record company but no one would listen to his songs. He made a tape and flew a helicopter and landed it on J. Cash yard and gave it to June Carter Cash to give to Johnny.
No negative comments. One of the greatest voices ever
Calling this a Super Group is an understatement! These are true legends of country music.
Kris Kristofferson was Wissler in the blade movies
Wow didnt know this was coming .... Yeah🎉. Im still voting for "Poncho and Lefty" Willie Nelson and Merald Haggard.
Or "Seven Spanish Angels" with Willie and Ray Charles.
Waylon Jennings sang the Dukes Of Hazzard tv series "Good Ol' Boys" Theme Song
Judy Garland singing OLD MAN RIVER from her tv show in 1963.
Fun Facts: Waylon was bass player for Buddy Holly on the music tour where Buddy Holly passed away in the plane crash with Ritchie Valens & Big Bopper but luckily Waylon decided not to get on the plane....this is what you call 'outlaw country'....Waylon is most famous for singing 'The Dukes Of Hazzard' Theme Song & Narrating the show....'Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Be Cowboys' is the other most famous Waylon Jennings song ever....Kris Kristofferson is Wissler in 'Blade' movies....he was actually in a movie that my family has a personal connection with called 'Convoy' with Burt Young who played 'Paulie' in the Rocky movies....they were all in a bunch of western movies back in the day as well
Waylon Jennngs offered his seat on the plane to a sick (BIG BOPPER) Richardson in the "day the music died" flight & crash tragedy which killed BUDDY HOLLY , RICHIE VALLENS & THE BIG BOPPER
At ending discussion these words come to mind Highwaymen those who've paved a way...pioneers 🇺🇲the brave the daring without fear they continue to tread against and again and again 🎵🌎ever rotating round and around and around 🎵
Kris wrote Me and Bobby McGee. That alone makes him a legend.
These gentlemen were considered the outlaws of country music and for a long time were ostracized by various people within the country music industry while the fans rallied and supported them.
Those fellas are the Mount Rushmore of Country music so far.
Highwaymen......."City of New Orleans" ( video ilve in concert). It's a really.good one.
Willie and Snoop Dogg......"Roll Me Up and Smoke Me"
George Jones......."He Stopped Loving Her Today". ( pay close attention to the very beginning...you might want to lull up the lyrics as most reactors miss the whole meaning of the song)
Love all these guys individually, and they are even better together. Got to see they perform live in the early 90's. They did Highwaymen songs, their own songs, and even covered each other's songs.
Two more storytelling songs came to mind: Coward of the County - Kenny Rogers; El Paso - Marty Robbins
Jimmy Webb. Consummate songwriter. His version of this song is the only one for me, but I'm glad you've found him. The original is from Jimmy's El Mirage album, 1977.
Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar and rose to rank of Captain in the Army. He was offered the opportunity to teach literature at West Point but turned it down. He eventually worked jobs like janitor, ect., and became a songwriter. He is an excellent songwriter. He connected with Johnny--who was well known for being very supportive of new artists--and the rest is history. Kris is basically a Rennaissance man--highly multi-talented.
I knew Kristofferson from “Help Me Make It Through the Night”, but then I stumbled on his “The Silver Tongued Devil and I” album in my cousin’s collection and I was in love. Still love his songs to this day. I’m drawn to his lesser known stuff, like “Epitaph”, “Duvalier’s Dream”, “Magdalene”, “Daddy’s Song”, etc. His album “To the Bone”, hurts to listen to when you watched the disintegration of his marriage to Rita Coolidge.
I was looking for a comment about his service, thank you
Oh my goodness! Waylon was famous for recording Lukenbach, Texas!! Great song! I 🩷 Waylon and Willie and the boys!
Kris is in the Blade movie series,and a lot of other films.
Waylon Jennings is a really important part of the Country music world and has tons o huge hits,like Mommas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys,Luckenbach Texas,and so many more.
4 great OG’s, only Willie is left. A lot of great music has been written by these men and sung by them.
And Kris Kristofferson
Love that you are repeating this again. I always enjoy hearing this song by the true Outlaw Band....Willie, Waylen, Chris, and John Cash. It brings you chills, no matter how many times you hear it.
OUTLAW COUNTY!
BTW: Shackleton was near the SOUTH Pole (Antarctica). He planned to transverse Antarctica but got stuck in pack ice before reaching Antarctica. It's an incredible tale of endurance and survival. (All men survived.)
You should react to the Conversation by Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr
Waylon Jennings is the one singing the intro to the Dukes of Hazzard
Great choice. Love watching this channel and watching your reactions to these songs that to me I've known forever and to you is brand new ❤. Great song
Kris is a legendary songwriter - he is the Songwriters Hall of Fame - He also actor - is known for his gravelly voice and rugged good looks and a string of country music hits, notably “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “For the Good Times,” and “Once More with Feeling.” - he was an Army Captain on his was the West Point Military Academy as a Lit Professor when he stopped in Nashville to visit a friend whose aunt owned a music publishing company - the rest is music history!! He is primarily a writer who has released several albums which a great also!! A great deep dive - even if he says he is a so-so singer!!! My fav movie of hos is A Star is Born - screw Bradley Cooper - Kris & Babs scenes are FIRE!!!
Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson recorded a hit song named “A Good Hearted Woman Loving A Good Timing Man”. The first time I ever heard of either one of them and I was not a country fan. It completely changed my attitude towards Country and Western music. I immersed myself in Willie and Waylon music for a while.
I really think this is one of the first music videos I remember seeing! My dad loved country music and was a singer himself.
Johnny Cash was on Sesame St and Muppet Show in the 70s 🌟
The spirit of adventure, riding their own roads, making their own rules… the human consistency.
The redheaded stranger, Willie Nelson, off the album, Willie, and friends it’s a medley story
One hell of a country/rock supergroup.
The term highwayman dates back to the early 15th century, as a person who would rob travelers on the roads. They were usually mounted on horseback, opposed to a footpad, who did the same thing, but were on foot instead.
Almost everybody knows "The Dukes of Hazard" theme. Waylon Jennings sang it.
Dukes of Hazard theme song = Waylon Jennings.. and there are a lot of men buried in the dam because they were pouring the cement soo quickly.
Actually there are ZERO men buried in Hoover Dam. Not because they were concerned about the morals if recovering the bodies. The engineers were EXTREMELY concerned about the integrity of the concrete. They recovered every body because they didn't want voids in the concrete when the bodies decomposed. PBS did a really good documentary on the building of Hoover dam about 30 years ago.
@jim is wrong and @renee is correct. Nobody is buried in concrete in Hoover Dam. There are a half dozen people that couldn't be found and are buried in Ft. Peck Dam in Montana. But this song specifically mentions Boulder (Nevada) and so it is the Hoover Dam they are speaking about in the song.
Talk about legendary country music performers!
Kris is the last Highwayman standing, each of them are legends alone, together they made one of the most iconic songs of the 20th century.
Willie Nelson is still around.
@@Lucygoldfinch you're right, my mistake. Shouldn't comment when I'm exhausted, sorry about that.
This group almost didn't happen. They were originally supposed sing harmonies and together, but several of their voices just didn't work together. Then someone suggested this song with everyone singing their own verse. That worked, and a hit was made and a super group born.
Time for some Waylon reactions!!!
Waymore's Blues, Luckenbach Texas, I'm a ramblin man, and many more....
Correct, baubles are jewels...shiny things!!! The highway man held up the stagecoach and took all the valuables from the stage/passengers.
The world needs the Highway men to push forward, create order from chaos and subdue the earth. Real men are Highway men, that spirit lives on and on.
That’s one of the greatest country songs ever. The Highwaymen did another song sorta like this one that y’all might would like. It’s called “American Remains.”
The group, known as 'the Highwaymen' & they toured together & would sing some of their own songs & then they would also sing one another's hits instead of their own & the audiences loved it. These men are all country legends. Willie is 90 & is releasing a new album. And since you probably only recognize Johnny & Willie, I will tell you Kris sang second & Waylon was 3rd. They sound very alike, too.
Always loved this song. 🔥🔥🔥
Waylon Jennings is awesome. Check out rose in paradise, luckenback Texas, I've always been crazy
Waylon's "Mama Tried" is juke box gold in the beer joints. As far as the movie you want to see, they've already made it. It's called red-headed stranger
Mama Tried was a big hit for Merle Haggard. Waylon also had lots of hits: Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line, Delia's Gone, Lonesome, On'ry and Mean, Ramblin' Man, Honky Tonk Heroes, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys, Waymore's Blues, I've Been a Fool, Ain't Living Long Like This, Out Among the Stars, Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way, MacArthur Park (Revisited), Good Hearted Woman, I've Always Been Crazy, and too many others to mention.
@@sandramoore Sandra, you are absolutely correct I don't know what I was thinking. I have sung that song so many times at said juke box beer joint with the above recommended adult choice of beverage. Maybe That's one of the reasons I quit drinking years ago? 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody is buried in the hoover dam . Just an old wives tale. But over 100 died during its construction.
Having 100 men buried in the cement would weaken the structure
My two favorite songs by them are "Me And Bobby McGee" led by Kris Kristoffersen and his "Why Me Lord" from the Nasau concert in 1980.
They are THE Mt Rushmore - all GOATS of Country Music!! - it is reincarnation!!!
Kris was one and is one of the greatest songwriters in country music history. He wrote tons of famous songs.
Waylon Jennings famous for doing the Dukes of Hazzard theme song called (just the good old boys) & you reacted to him 2 weeks ago
That was my great uncle that kept all of the men alive. When Shackleton left with some crew to find help.
Kris Kristofferson was also Whistler in the Blade movies.
Waylon died first.. so sad.. I loved his voice so much.. then Johnny passed .. we still have Kris and Willie. I hope y'all know how amazing a songwriter Kris Kristofferson is.. he's like a male Dolly from back in the day.. wrote amazing music. he's also a Rhodes Scholar..
Waylon is my all time favorite of the Outlaws. If I started naming all of his music that I love, it would be a very long list. You have to react to some Waylon. Someone mentioned "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys." That's a good start, Waylon and Willie.
One of my favourite Jimmy Webb songs.
Why Me Lord is an amazing song written by Kristofferson.
Waylon Jennings was the singer of the TV show, "Dukes of Hazard," and actually narrated it.
AMEN brothers, We Need Brothers and Sisters...
There were highway an in the 1700's and on. I love them doing " ghost riders in the sky!"
Waylon Jennings, think of "The Duke's of Hazzard theme". My favorite by Waylon is "Wrong" and the video that goes with it.
Waylon goes all the way back to 1959 playing with Buddy Holly the night the plane crashed. Killed Buddy Holly & Richy Valens & the big bopper (J.P.Richardson Jr.) , Waylon was supposed to be on plane but gave his seat to the big bopper. Don McLean's song " American Pie" is about this plane crash. i.e. the day the music died.
Note that the meaning is not necessarily about reincarnation as much as its more about mass and matter does not go away it just rearanges as in "or i may become a single drop of rain"
Waylon was a side man for Buddy on that tour, playing bass.
Ghost-riders in the sky. So many renditions.
An old song that willie nelson collaborates on with ray charles is, 7 spanish angels. One of my all-time favorites
Some Waylon songs to check out! rose in paradise, "Drinkin' and Dreamin'", shine, "Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys), "Amanda", I Ain't Living Long Like This, Luckenbach, Texas, Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys(with Willie), Good Hearted Woman (with Willie) ....the list goes on and on ....
Waylon Jennings played bass guitar for Buddy Holly!
Waylon.Jennings and Willie Nelson both started out as clean-cut suit and tie wearing singers who later switched to country Western as outlaw singers.
Kris K has a song called The Silver-tongued Devil that has always been one of my favorites, and another called The Prophet (Pilgrim chapter 33) that you really need to hear.
Waylon Jennings is an icon! Best voice of the era, I have a Waylon test for every vehicle i buy, the sound system has to hold up to Waylon's voice!
Great Song ... Google and get the remarkable story behind the four of them
You watched Ricky Valentino, and he died in that plain accident. With Buddy Holly. The day the music died..
Waylon Jennings gave his ticket to board the plain that crashed because Ricky was super sick, pneumonia...
That's Waylon Jennings. He suffered with that survivors guilt for a long time.
Must Google legendary Willie, Waylon, Kris, and Johnny... their lives are incredible, finding one another to become the Legendary Four
Waylon Jennings sang the theme to Dukes of Hazard and narrated the show. Check.his songs "Luckenbach, Texas" or "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" with Willie.
God how I love this song!!
Waylon and Willie did a lot of music together. If you've heard the intro to Dukes of Hazard show, you've heard Waylon Jennings...🎶🎶 Just a good old boy... 🎶🎶
Ooh. You guys went deep. Great review.
A collection of legends!
Country music has much variety within it, an many sub genres.
Watching them perform live is astounding. A privilege, every time. Reminds me of my Papa.
One of my fav Waylon songs is Just a Good'ol Boy
Oh they are all classics.
We come back over and over and live many different types of lives.
Waylon and Willy put out some big hits together in the late 70's. You might remember Kris Kristofferson from the Blade movies where he was Whistler, the old guy that took care of Wesley Snipes "Blade". Also Kris is a famous songwriter. Johnny Cash can stand alone by himself. Basically a song about the never ending list of Bad Asses that formed history.
"The Highwayman" was originally recorded by the late Glen Campbell - who you should check out (his cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying" is amazing). He was friends with all these guys, and when he heard about this group, he gave the song to them. His was not a big hit, theirs was. Glen is also one of the most talented guitarists ever - see his instrumental of the 1812 Overture (Lone Ranger to most). You will not believe your eyes. Thanks for this one.
Trivia information for Kris Kristopherson. He was dating Janis Joplin. He authored “Me and Bobby Magee” and she posthumously made a gold record from it.
Another more banger, banger they covered was The road goes on forever.
If you've ever watched an episode of Dukes of Hazzard, you heard Waylon Jennings.
This is a tribute or homage to all those people who do dangerous jobs(don't know about the highwayman part).........much respect to all those people
I disagree, the song is about one person's soul traveling thru different lives via reincarnation. The last verse definitely clarifies that when he says "Perhaps I may become a highwayman again, or I may be a simple drop of rain, but I will remain." Each verse the man dies, but he will remain, and he will be back again, and again, and again. Definitely reincarnation.
Love your reactions!
I remember reading that General Chuck Yeager was flying the jet in the video.
Live-version of City of New Oreleans.
"Highway man" is an old English term for a robber who ambushed people on the road.
