Waylon rocks the house in this video from his prime!


Waylon Jennings was not a singer for the music industry. He was his own man and wanted to do his own music. After his friend, Willie Nelson, introduced him to a different, hippy type crowd-everything changed. They grew their hair long and started making their mark in country music. Eventually, fans started referring to them as "outlaws," a name that stuck with them because of a magazine article talking about their crazy lifestyle.

The name suits Waylon well and he managed to take down the music industry to make his own music. He should get more credit than what is presented to him in country music.Watch the video below of Waylon performing, "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way." Hank would sure roll over in his grave if he knew what country music turned into!

Four Mega-Stars, One Legendary Group

Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash dominated the charts in 1985. They wowed audiences with hits for their decades of performing around the world. Not only were they at the point in their careers where they were seen as "old,"   But Johnny had been released from his recording contract. So the four famous friends set out on the road to make music together and show Nashville that age was nothing but a number and that growing older was all in the mindset.
