Waylon Jennings

yeah. I should just listen to the damn thing again, prob on YouTube, but seemed like it worked because of concise lyrics, Waylon-trademark catchy beat, and not too much self-pity, kind a "King of the Road" effect.

It's on the Nashville Rebel soundtrack album (alongside a cover of "Norwegian Wood"!), which is on Spotify.

Unlike a lot of other vintage Country stars, Waylon's actually pretty well covered on Spotify.

Man, can you all tell me where moments like the last 55 seconds come from on Honky Tonk Heros at the Sugarload, Maine show? Not the usual change up riff that he always ends that song with, but the thing they throw in at the end. Especially when the keyboard and fuzz guitar go back and forth like two times before they end it abruptly. You can find little outro moments like that in the live the shows, but this one is defiantly a particular sound from that decade in time. Were Waylon and his band just fans of what harder rock acts were doing at the time? Why don't you see stuff like that on his records when you hear about how he was specific about using his road band in the studio?

Honky Tonk Heroes is the Vinyl Me, Please Country title for August.

All I want in life is to be able to sing “dreaming my dreams” as tenderly as this man does

otm! one of my favorite waylon songs.
