Ultimtate Waylon Jennings.......2007-06-13

I think this is Waylon's finest CD's. It has so many of his greatest hits. It is an upbeat CD. I love driving in my car and listening to it.

Not too new.......2007-03-18

Well, he's been around a long time. I like some of his songs, better than others...

Waylons tunes.......2007-01-10

If you are to have one CD of Waylon's, this is the one. From start to finish this CD is country music in it's raw, pure sound. This CD is rock n' roll by a country outlaw. A+

A gift from heaven!!.......2007-01-04

This cd was a gift for my husband. It wasn't a x-mas gift, it was just a " because" gift. He had been wanting to get it for a long time because someone stole his last copy. He loves it so much that he keeps it in his truck all the time. And listens to it on the way to work.

Less successful when it's sentimental (Waylon Jennings' "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys") than when it's wry (Willie Nelson's myth-puncturing "Me and Paul"), this cash-in compilation of previously released cuts was just in time to grab the first platinum record ever awarded a country album. It's not bad, but both Jennings' contemporaneous Dreaming My Dreams and Nelson's Red Headed Stranger are more nuanced tastes of the good-bad-but-not-evil-ol'-boy lifestyle. (Not to mention much of Tompall Glaser's own Outlaw compilation.) This 1996 CD reissue adds nine more tracks from the era as well as a new Jennings-and-Nelson version of Steve Earle's "Nowhere Road." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

THE BIRTH OF THE "OUTLAW MOVEMENT" IN NASHVILLE ! (and the rest of the world, too).......2007-07-11

Wanted: the Outlaws (1976) is the album that changed country music forever. Although most of the songs on the album had been previously released, the way it was all packaged and marketed reached an audience that hadn't been interested in this genre before, young rock music fans. The album cover featured photos of the long-haired, bearded, and rugged-looking Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser, along with Waylon's attractive wife, Jessi Colter, on an old wild-west WANTED! poster. The music inside is a collection of country music, most of it on the rowdy side, with a couple of catchy ballads by Jessi. Waylon and Jessi sing an energetic duet on Elvis' Suspicious Minds. Willie sings of a musician's rowdy life on the road in Me And Paul, and then creates a thoughtful barroom scene in Yesterday's Wine. Waylon's at a bar, too, but he's country rocking with his song, Honky Tonk Heroes. He also sings the reflective My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. Jessi's ballads, I'm Looking For Blue Eyes and You Mean To Say are very good, and she's a great singer. Waylon and Willie duet on Heaven And Hell, and their co-written anthem Good Hearted Woman, which includes an audience track to sound "live". Tompall adds his country-rock version of Jimmie Rodgers' T for Texas and the hilarious Put Another Log On The Fire. The album sold millions, and opened the door for a new brand of country music that would dominate the scene for the next decade. Even ol' Buck and Roy started sporting beards on the TV series Hee Haw, and so did Glen Campbell! Other country singers, like Hank Williams, Jr., David Allan Coe, and Johnny Paycheck got on board, and older outlaws like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard enjoyed new interest in their careers. Country rock acts, like Charlie Daniels and The Marshall Tucker Band joined in, and the "Outlaw Movement" became an influential force in contemporary music. This 20th anniversary issue is well put together, remastered to sound better than ever, and includes many songs that weren't on the original. The songs are listed as "The Original", "The Lost", and "The New". "The Original" are the songs that were included on the original release. "The Lost" are previously released songs by the singers as separate artists. The best of these are Waylon's (I'm A) Ramblin' Man and Slow Movin' Outlaws, Willie's You Left A Long, Long Time Ago and Healing Hands Of Time, and the duets with Waylon and Jessi. "The New" is the Steve Earle produced Nowhere Road, which is a new country rocker that features Waylon and Willie together. Wanted: The Outlaws is an important country music album, a peice of history, really, and is essential for every fan of country music, or music in general.

Wanted: The Outlaws.......2007-05-28

I think this reissue of the 70's classic is a perfect example of less being more. I am not certain if any of the new additions make this CD better than the first version. In fact, to be honest, I think the first version is a 5 star classic, while this reissue overall deserves a solid 4 stars. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys is the best of the bunch here, while the cover of Suspicious Minds is outstanding. I always loved the two songs from Colter, and I think the addition of more from her lessens the overall impact of You Mean to Say and Looking for Blue Eyes. A great CD. The sound here is fantastic.

One of the Classics!.......2007-03-09

I have wore mine out. I need to buy a new copy.

Texas music.......2007-03-08

A real gem and the heart of the outlaw country music movement. The recent re-release with the songs added that didn't make the first album is a nice addition to any collection. Makes you wonder why they didn't include them the first time around. Who knows. If you thought it was great on vinyl you'll love it on cd, just a Fantastic album!

Original Was Better.......2007-02-28

In agreement with most of the reviews here, if you love the 70's country music so-called outlaw movement, you will love the music here, I have the original on a still working 8 track, I was very excited to get an
expandanded edition of this on disk, but to be honest, the longer edition looses something for me, I do "like" Jessi Colter, but as we all know, she does not carry this album, extra tracks included 3 Jessi solos in a row, then 2 Jessi duets with Waylon, that part of the Cd was a bit much for me, but besides that one pont, this is still a great set of tunes and an essential part of country music history to own.

Customer Reviews:

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

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.

Customer Reviews:

Waylon rules.......2007-05-20

Very cool, often very rare, videos, performances and commercials from the greatest singer ever. Every home should have one.

The Original Nashville Rebel.......2007-03-23

This is the real deal for lovers of country music. Waylon Jennings wrote the book on being the Nashville outlaw. Initially accepted into the scene, Waylon was deeply upset by the record execs who had their stable of studio musicians who would play just what they were told. Performers would hone their songs on the road with hand-picked musicians who, once back in town with Waylon, Willy or Johnny to record again, would be told that they were not needed and the studio boys would play their parts. Waylon was the very first of them to tell those execs to go to Hades.

Well, this collection is just about all you need to hear the very best of Waylon from the very beginning (singing in Creole French!) to the end of his days. Plenty of Jesse Coulter duets, and some very nice sessions with Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash and others (some of which are available for the first time in this collection). They do not (repeat that) make singers the likes of Waylon Jennings any more. His voice is truly a thing of great masculine beauty. And today in Heaven, Johnny and Waylon are singing "The Highwayman" once again.

a must have.......2007-03-21

this is essential for any fan of Waylon very complete and very economical

The Greatest Waylon Collection to Date!!!!.......2007-02-20

I have never been a fan of RCA and the way they treat Waylon Jennings music collections. For example: Waylon's original Greatest Hits has eleven tracks, but since it came out on CD, RCA only puts nine tracks on it. You have to buy the import to get the complete original album! Also, the last box set these RCA guys put together had only two CD's worth of music, worthless!! THIS TIME THEY GET IT RIGHT!!! Fours CD's covering everything from the early 60's to even the MCA hits of the late 80's. I especially like the added Cash duets and the Highwayman stuff. On disc 1: That song called "People In Dallas Got Hair" is pure greatness!!!!
The book that's included is a huge bonus:) It has lots of rare pics of Waylon and all of the fans & people who shaped the legend over the years. I think every man, woman, and child should have this box-set added to their country collection............

THE BEST.......2007-02-14

If you are waylon fan, this album is as good as it gets,from the time he starts to the end. it is great....

This double-disc reissue documents one of the more curious careers in country music. Both 1978's White Mansions and 1980's The Legend of Jesse James are Southern song cycles that were conceived by Britain's Paul Kennerley, then an unknown songwriter who somehow recruited a high-profile cast for each. A Civil War saga from the Southern perspective, White Mansions suffers from caricature and cliché but benefits from signature contributions by Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, and Eric Clapton. Jesse James has more focus and narrative momentum, with Levon Helm, Johnny Cash, and Emmylou Harris in lead roles. Though the albums are more noteworthy for artistic ambition than memorable material, Kennerley subsequently became a successful Nashville songwriter and Harris's husband from 1985 to 1993. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

Legend of Jesse James.......2007-05-13

I had heard of this album in 1981 or so. Although I have the LP I wanted the
CD also. I really like the story telling aspect of this cd. Starting with the
first tract completely through the last. Also, the caliber of the singers
included really pleased me. Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash and Levon Helm's
voices are so well suited for the characters that they portray. It also made
me interested enough to do a little history reading on the real Jesse James.
History would be a lot more interesting to people, I think, if more were
presented in such a well done way.

A Gem.......2007-04-11

My husband bought the LP years ago and pretty much wore it out. When I bought this CD for him as a gift he was thrilled to hear elements of the recordings he says he never heard on the LP. We are both very happy with this CD and have told many of our friends and relatives who are interested in the history of the US during the civil war and post civil war period. I wish they would make a video of this even if they have to recast the parts with contemporary singers to replace those who have left this planet.

Two Magnificent and Historically Accurate Song Cycles About the American South.......2006-09-01

I accidentally ran into the cassette version of "The Story of Jesse James" probably shortly after the cassette was released. My 35 year old daughter remembers well hearing it played over and over again, when she was a child. Naturally, the tape finally wore out and I had no idea where to find another copy. I felt an unbelievable sense of loss because of this for many years, until I recently decided to search "Jesse" on Amazon.com, hoping to find that it had been re-released as a CD.

When I found that "White Mansions", which I had never even heard of before, had been combined into a double CD set with "Jesse", I was ecstatic and I immediately ordered two copies of the set, one for my car and one for my house. I found that I had to immerse myself in hearing "Jesse", until my "thirst" for it had been satisfied, before I could bring myself to listen seriously to "White Mansions". However, the Civil War/the War Between the States/the War of Northern Aggression/the Late Unpleasantness, as it is variously called, has always extremely interested me and filled me with great sadness, especially since most people today do not understand the complexities of the war, its many heart-breaking aspects, and how lasting its influence has been on our country.

These song cycles are replete with superb music and equally superb singers whose voices fit the characters who tell the story of the Civil War from the Southern white point of view in "White Mansions" and the story of Jesse James and the James-Younger Gang in "The Story of Jesse James". These song cycles are most highly recommended by me, however, not only because of their superb music and vocalists, but also because they are historically so accurate. I am a history buff and I know Civil War history and the lives and activities of the James brothers and the Younger brothers very well. My only bone to pick with the cycles is the song "High Walls" on "Jesse". Although I enjoy the song greatly, I personally do not believe that Jesse James ever was so self-pitying, although he probably did regret the path that he had chosen, after he had matured and had become a loving husband and father who had decided to settle down on a farm with his family.

I most highly recommend this set to anyone who appreciates the best in country music, to anyone who is interested in the Civil War, especially those who are interested in the different points of view of its Southern caucasian socio-economic groups, and/or to those who are interested in the war's resulting production of some of our nation's most notorious outlaws. I am now also so emotionally involved in "White Mansions", as well as in "Jesse", that today, I literally burst out with a loud exclamation concerning what had just been sung in one of its songs, while I was driving my car, startling my friend who was riding with me and embarrassing myself!

A secret treasure!.......2006-02-17

I bought "The legend of Jesse James" vinyl LP in 1980 when I was 17 and was immediately struck by the solid writing, emotional narrative and excellent musicianship found on this concept album. I remember "One more shot" got some airplay on country radio stations at the time, but without the rest of the album to provide the appropriate context, the single didn't have much impact. One listen to the entire album, and it's hard not to be impressed by this collection of country/folk/rock jewels.

This 2-CD set was my first introduction to "White Mansions", Paul Kennerley's original Southern Americana musical history lesson. This album is as well produced and the song writing as strong as on "Jesse James". However, this collection is not as emotionally engaging as the tracks on "Jesse James". The performances are all first rate and Waylon Jennings' vocals on this album are perhaps his best ever and proves that he was at his peak in the late 1970s!

Anyone that listens to this compilation of two great country concept albums will become instant fans. I sincerely hope more people will find this secret treasure.

The CD to save if your house was on fire!.......2005-12-04

White Mansions and especially The Legend of Jesse James gives me chills when I listen to it. I grew up in Clay County,Missouri right up the road from the James Farm. This music is so authentic in the style and the way the voices sound as if they are truly Missouri locals. Anybody who knows the true outlaw story of the James Boys knows this cd is so dead on it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Jesse James is not just a train robber but a true southern farmer turned guerilla who just wanted his money back from the Yankee Feds. This CD has the best I believe of Waylon & Jessi, Johnny Cash and Levon Helm singing in a southern rock style that will have you swilling sweetea out of a mason jar. If you like hog callers and mules, tobacco and whiskey culture and realize the Civil War really started on the southern Frontier in Missouri, buy this you will play it for years!!!

Great CD.......2005-12-22

I just love this CD, especially song #8! I'd say this is the best Cajun CD I've heard yet. Would highly recommend it to anyone. It's at the top of my list!!

Great recording- super renditions-I wish I could find more CDs like this.......2005-10-14

This CD is simply a wonderful find.

Excellent recording, excellent renditions of traditional songs.

Like listening to E Power Biggs play Bach, Waylon Thibodeaux has captured something very special with this recording.

I'd love to see suggestions for similar albums- I've looked for a while but I keep coming back to this one.

Ou-ce Que Te Parti.......2005-10-07

This a song that is needed by the Westwego Senior Citizens. A small group visits the shut in and they requested this particular song. I would like to have a copy both in french and english?

Acadienne At Its Finest!.......2002-05-05

The songs on this album with the exception of Big Mamou are old beautiful traditional Cajun songs. Waylon does an excellent job at playing these songs and keeping them fairly authentic sounding. Waylon should be given a medal for preserving these old songs and giving them a modern-quality recording. Waylon does not exclude modern zydeco either in Big Mamou. This song will make you want to jump up and do the fais-do-do. If you dig Cajun music at all, this album is a must have.

This collection of Cajun music is just too cool for words!!!.......1999-07-14

Okay, okay, you haven't encountered much of Cajun music? Here's the place to start. Twelve catchy numbers, most with lyrics in Cajun French, brighten this fine record by Waylon Thibodeaux. They're lively, enjoyable, and make you want to dance or at least enjoy more whatever you might be doing while listening. Thibodeaux does the definitive "Jolie Blonde" in this CD, and has several great ones such as "Grand Texas," "Grand Mamou," "Je Veux le Marier," and "Paradis Two-step."

I gawrontee, cher! These are as good as they come. Crank up the volume when you play this CD loud, and have a nice plate of jambalaya with a bottle of Abita Turbo Dog to go along. Laissez le bon temps rouler!!!!

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

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.

I was so excited to receive this CD. It brought back fond memories of my childhood and going to concerts with my mom. It arrived quickly, as usual and was instantly a hit with my kids. Thank you

WAILIN' FOR "REAL MEN" (And The Ladies Who Love Them!).......2006-10-23

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 real men, and who love `em despite their faults (which are usually the size of the San Andreas).

When Ol' Waylon "Waymore" Jennings cashed in his chips in 2002, that great rodeo star and bullrider extraordinaire, Yoey O'Dogherty, passed his upturned, Jim Beam-filled Stetson amongst his fellow Texas cowboys and declared, "Well boys, this poor world just lost half of its masculinity, but won't the ol' devil soil his shorts and run out the back door of hell tonight!"

Waylon "Waymore" Jennings, in case you didn't know it, was the unofficial leader of those early `70s Nashville Country music rebels labeled the "Outlaws." Waylon was an "outlaw" because he wasn't doing it the way the Nashville suits said it should be done; he took the attitude that it's my life, my music, now step aside before you're wearing my electric guitar for a cowboy hat! Lemme tell ya sumpin': Waylon was the first to meld Country-Western sentiments and style to the energy and raw electric edge of Rock music to create the "new" Country. And the "new" Country doesn't mean "today's" County: Waylon transformed the original Country whine of "My cheating woman left me, my horse left me, and only Jim Beam stuck by my side" to "I tossed my cheating woman over my horse's hide and paddled her behind, and now I'm playing with my guitar instead - and it talks sweeter than she ever did!" (Although Waylon's a nice boy on the sweet `AMANDA.')

Country has degenerated into a bunch of pretty boys in designer jeans and silk jammies whining about how their cheating woman left them and took the Hummer, or was it the red BMW? Heck, it was the new Mercedes! Where's my Jim Beam? Why she ran off with him, too! That little #%*@! WAAAaaaaa.....

Ol' Waylon is the real deal! This is tough, growling, rip-roaring, six-shooter Country with beefy rhythms that bite! And no, Ol' Waylon ain't skeered to show his tender side (while he's pausing to reload his .45), but it ain't that seeeeensitive Country twaddle; it's more like "of course I love you, babe - didn't I let you hold my hand just as soon as the theatre went dark for the John Wayne picture show?"

I saw countless Rock concerts back "in the day." Saw the Police at the Whisky on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood; saw the early Blue Oyster Cult laser extravaganza in the `70s; saw UFO and Bob Seger at The Forum in Inglewood; and saw those loud, smoke machine and strobe light shows that Thin Lizzy perfected on the B circuit. Nobody, but NOBODY was able to match Waylon! That good ol' boy just stood there with his macho charisma, his humor, and that fancy rope-encircled guitar of his, and he put on great shows - between songs, telling outrageously funny stories about when he and Johnny Cash were terrorizing the Country music capital of Nashville.

Of course, Johnny Cash has been all the rage these last couple of years, and sure, Cash was cool. But listen, if you like "The Man In Black", yer gonna LOVE Waylon! I mean, sheesh! Just look at that picture on the cover! Dudes and dudettes, that's "cool" and "mischief" simultaneously personified. And wait'll ya hear these wailin' tunes! Ol' Waylon was the best entertainer I ever saw on a stage. And if I could look and sound like any other person in history, I'd look and sound just like Ol' Waymore.

WAYLON JENNINGS: GREATEST HITS is one of my Top Ten favorite albums ever! My one complaint is that the (currently out-of-print) import version contains two songs that are now inexcusably missing from the cheap domestic copy. And those missing songs are outstanding: ONLY DADDY THAT'LL WALK THE LINE and the classic, LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS. Whoever is responsible for this at RCA should be pistol-whipped within an inch of his life! But the fact remains that if yer gonna own only one Waylon disc, it simply MUST include HONKY TONK HEROES, and until somebody does a Waylon's Greatest Hits or Best Of collection right, this remains the only one with that unforgettable slice of Waymore night life. And HONKY TONK HEROES may have been Waymore's best song, but he humorously expressed his love for (his soon-to-be wife) the darling Jessi Colter in the missing LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS:

Jessi liked the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands
Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line.

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

And Waylon proved that outlaw/woman connection in a funny passage from his autobiography. It seems Waymore was on a television show with the Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick and she mistakenly thought she was going to physically intimidate this outlaw. (Slick is one dumb chick!)

"...Grace Slick was raising hell about America ..... I was getting mad, telling her that I'm the first to agree there's a lot wrong with our system, but it's still the best out there, and she's talking about communism and striking karate poses. `There ain't a chance in the world me being afraid of you,' I said, and that turned her on." Waylon says that she was all set to dump her German boyfriend that day.

Hey, why are you still reading this review? Dang! What's wrong with you? Why haven't you ordered this album already? Look, don't make me have to come over there!

The Finest C&W Artist I Have Ever had The Pleasure of ListeningTo.......2006-09-21

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 runaway cobra in a Bombay marketplace. Waylon went on to greatness and on this CD, songs like Mammas Don't let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys, Are You Sure Hank Done it this Way and Luckenbach Texas are indescribably ingenious in their presentation and quality. You have Willie Nelson duets (Waylon and Willie) that are outstanding because to put it bluntly, Willie is no slouch either. Waylon, with his syrupy and very demanding and forceful vocals coupled with guitar finesse and his sheer presence as a man who has lived through it all, evolved subsequent to that fateful and disappointingly tragic day in the late fifties when those rock and roll fans who sensed that something affecting their futures like a bullet to the heart perceived that Waylon would be the scion to carry all of it on, realized that Waylon was not only country, he was iconic and unique to the point of an infinity-like fabric. My recommendation as a CD Reviewer of some prominence is for you to build a library of Waylon Jennings Cd's. Waylon was not only a pioneer, he was simply the best.

Still a country music hater . . . but . . ........2006-04-21

I do not own a country music cd in my house, they are banned. Country music is what is wrong with a America. You have the East coast, then the West coast, and then there is country music in the middle. And we wonder why we got problems? I have always associated country music with stupidity. HOWEVER, dont get TOO offended out there BOYS! When I was young my mom used to listen to this album on the 8 track. I have always remembered some of the lyrics to the songs, like Amanda and others. Well, now she has passed away a few years ago. One day I saw this CD and feeling sentimental I decided to purchase it on "Amazon". (Never would I purchase a country album full price else where.) Well, let me tell you, Waylon Jennings was a great talent. Just listening to the music instruments and his barotone voice. I recommend this album to any country music hater. Not that I have converted, never may that happen! But, I will give Waylon his props, RIP. You too Mom, and thanks.

WAYLON THE CLASSICS.......2005-11-18

The King of the Outlaws may be dead and gone, but as they warble in country music circles, his memory lives on, and I ain't talkin' about Jesse James, folks. Waymore, as he was affectionately known, and buddy Willie Nelson spearheaded the so-called "Outlaw Movement" of the seventies, the rowdy and roots-rich antithesis of the piss-poor "Hat Act" substitute that passes for country these daze. The Lubbock, Texas native (also home of his former boss Buddy Holly), never operated within the confines of Nashville, insisting on using his own musicians on recordings, and "Waylon" about subjects near and dear to him. The titles on this, one of THE truly essential hits collections, country or otherwise, tell much about the man's point of view long before you hear 'em. LONESOME ON'RY AND MEAN, LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS, HONKY TONK HEROES, and I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY are all wry, tongue in cheek variations on the "outsider" attitude that made the man so endearing and his music so enduring. The definitive cover of Ed Bruce's MAMMAS, DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE COWBOYS and the genteel LUCHENBACH, TEXAS, both enhanced by Willie, the funky ONLY DADDY THAT'LL WALK THE LINE, and poignant slow dancer AMANDA also bear up to repeated listenings. Accept no soulless, dimpled, hunky substitutes; Waylon---no last name ever need be utterered---was the real deal and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Hank, Merle, Buck and any other true country-to-the-core legend that ever lived (or died). RATING: FIVE WAILS

According to legend, it was at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July picnic when Waylon Jennings drunkenly promised a nobody named Billy Joe Shaver that he'd record a whole album of his songs. Apparently it wasn't until Shaver threatened physical violence on Jennings (in front of a Nashville studio full of people) that he finally made good on his promise, although Jennings had only recently been granted full artistic control by RCA. The result was a stunning achievement: 1973's Honky Tonk Heroes was the defining record of the anti-Nashville Outlaw movement--the term came after the album--and a cornerstone in country music history. Featuring bare-bones production and plainspoken, hard-nosed lyrics that celebrated personal freedoms and simple pleasures, the record was a far cry from the demure Nashville Sound. In each other, Jennings and Shaver had found a kindred spirit, and together they rewrote the country rulebook. --Marc Greilsamer

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings.......2007-01-22

Song for song I think this is one of the best if not the best Waylon CD available. Honky Tonk Heroes is a must own CD for both the serious and the occasional (if there is such a thing) Waylon fan. This CD is vintage Waylon at his very best!

Husband loves it.......2007-01-05

I bought this CD for my husband's birthday and he loves it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves true Country Music.

Waylon at his best?.......2006-05-11

Many reviews will tell you that this album, "Honky Tonk Heroes" is Waylon at his best. Well I slightly disagree. Although this album, along with "Dreamin' my dreams" are indeed Waylon at the top of his game, this is second place next to the latter. This one is kind of folksy and lacks the punch that I am used to hearing from Waylon. Even the first song, "Honky Tonk Heroes" is not the same from the very improved studio version found in RCA's greatest hits version. This album will grow on you and you will appreciate the subtle aspects that other reviews speak of, so dont hesitate to buy it. But, "Dreamin my Dreams", now that is really the Waylon I know and love.

Fantastic studio album. .......2005-11-21

We reciecved an 8-track tape player and two tapes for X-mas in 1973. We owned & operrated our own 18-wheeler. It's a long way from Lubbock to Brownsville, TX with only 2 tapes (700+ miles, one way) and we thought we were in hog heaven, havin' music on board. One tape was Honkytonk Heroes and the other, Red Rose Speedway. Both have extremely fond memories, but. As we drove down Sunset Blvd. in Brownsville listening to Waylon singing about Green Gables, a glance to the right side of the road revealed Green Gables in all it's glory.

As Jennings introduces the live take of "Bob Wills is Still the King" that closes this otherwise studio-bound album, one rowdy audience member yells a drunken affirmation. Or maybe something else, given that Jennings breaks off mid-sentence, seemingly ready to leap into the crowd and open a Texas-size can of whup-ass on the guy. That he doesn't--and gives a smoking read of the song instead--is emblematic of the success of 1975's Dreaming My Dreams. Not yet having succumbed to the overblown boasts of "I've Always Been Crazy" that sold millions of records later in the decade, he's content here to wryly look askance at the Nashville establishment and his reputation as an "outlaw" and sing a couple of sweet love songs, all while playing plenty of tasty rhythm guitar. A keeper, and one of the most welcome CD reissues in years. (The 2001 reissue adds two bonus tracks from the film Mackintosh & T.J..) --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

WAYLON'S BEST ! (according to the man himself).......2007-04-15

Dreaming My Dreams was released in 1975, a couple of years after Waylon Jennings, country outlaw, had wrestled away artistic control of his music from the Nashville establishment. It was recorded in long time friend Neil Diamond's "very cozy" upstairs recording studio. The first song is the electric guitar rocking, autobiographical Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.

Somebody told me when I came to Nashville,
"Son, you've finally got it made.
Ol' Hank made it here and we're all sure that you will",
But I don't think Hank done it this way.

Waylon then gets reflective with Don Williams' Gypsy Woman. This is one of Waylon's best songs. Waylon's raspy baritone gives the impression of a big man who has lived life the hard way, but still stands tall and is ready for more (all were true). His voice also had a persuasive vulnerability that has won listeners over for decades. It's easy to identify with his struggles, and easy to want to stand in his corner. There's a excellant version of Roger Miller's I've Been A Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be A Long Time Gone) included here, too. The Door Is Always Open was a hit for the two girl, one guy trio, Dave and Sugar, but the song seems like it was written for Waylon.

When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention, will you think of me instead
When he reaches out to touch you, is your face turned to the wall
Well, the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall.

The title track is Waylon at his most tender, but this guy never gets mushy. Not Waylon, not ever. He gets back into rowdy form, with a live version of Bob Wills Is Still The King. Waylon's dominating vocal performance sounds great, and even though it's the only live song on the album, it fits right in. He had said Dreaming My Dreams was his favorite of all his albums, and it's easy to see why. This was Waylon Jennings at the top of his game.

Simple truth.......2006-10-15

The title track, Dreaming my dreams with you, is as fine as a sad country song gets.

Looking for Waylon? Here it is........2006-05-11

This is indeed, Waylon at his best. Buy it now, go ahead! Do it with 1 click! You will not be disapointed.

Dreaming my Dreams Title Track is divine longing.......2005-09-01

I grew up listening to Waylon and his buddies and all the crazy eclectic things my parents liked (Peter Paul & Mary, John Denver, Willie, Merle, Glen Campbell). This album is essential Waylon, IMHO; if you want to understand him in basics, this is it. It speaks to his roots, musical background, his influence on Nashville and Country Music [back when it was still Country and Western Music] and should be required listening.

The title track is one my favorite all time songs; Waylon's black hole deep baritone is hauntingly gorgous and painfully longing.

Some records are so perfect there's not a second you'd want to fade or edit out. This was my introduction to Waymore, many years ago. I had the good fortune to discover him via someone who had a number of his records so it was a real eye-opener to find a singer I'd never heard of with a back catalogue of such high quality. I love the record for a number of reasons: the voice; the musicians; the songs, but more than anything else it was memorable for showing me a country band could SWING. It's not rock or blues or jazz but it has it's own feel and, of course, caused me to check out the likes of Bob Wills - not exactly a household name in the United Kingdom. Waylon was making good records til he died, but he never improved on this. Wonderful.
