Ratings and reviews

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Waylon Jennings was and still is the only true Outlaw Country Singer/Songwriter/Musician I truly like and worth remembering. Rest In Peace.

I mean, I think we're put here on earth to make your own destiny, to begin with. I don't think there's anything you can do this way or that way to change anything. - Waylon

I have been a fan ever since I was old enough to eat hard food..damn shame he had to leave this earth, but Heaven's choir is much improved by his presence
