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!
