FIRST TIME HEARING WAYLON JENNINGS - LONESOME ON'RY AND MEAN (LIVE IN TX 1975) | REACTION

[@Bellawhite1]

God I love Waylon so damn much. He died way too soon and had he lived he would be undoubtedly the best country and western singer of this generation. Thanks for your reaction.

[@shellywernette4449]

Got to love the pedal steel guitar that Waylon uses in so much of his music.

[@kimberlyjohnson2700]

My favorite country singer

[@edithdavis2848]

The first Country Outlaw. A special man..Love his music.

[@perryfam5788]

Hank Sr is Original Outlaw. They just mainstreamed it

[@crystaldunson9578]

This is one of my favorite Waylon concerts. I watch it at least once a week. You should watch the whole thing when you get the chance

[@quintondees4501]

Outlaw country 👍👍👍 classic

[@tbirdfan93]

Waylon jennings I've always been crazy

[@BOOMNERD51]

One of my favorite of Waylon's songs!

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

That piano with strings is a steel guitar. It's used in a lot of country music.🥰 This is Struggle Jennings's grandfather.😊

[@KD_1989]

Everyone knows who Waylon is! No one knows who struggle is lol

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

@@KD_1989 🤣😆

[@darkomtobia]

@@KD_1989 well...he's STRUGGLING.

[@bobbyskeetersstaff1468]

That's Ralph Mooney no relation

[@wayymore]

Ole Moon on the steel

[@lunchboxradio5890]

Waylon was an absolute icon. The Balladeer and singer of the theme song on The Dukes of Hazzard as well a member of "The Highwaymen", country's first supergroup. Speaking of going crazy, you should really check out Waylon's "I've Always Been Crazy" probably my favorite of his. This is a deep, deep hole if you continue to dig at it.

[@stevenrogers9123]

I think you would really like Marty Robbins. I recommend listening to El Paso. He was a great story teller, and he had a fantastic voice.

[@carmenluna6870]

Love Waylon. Such a good looking man and lots of talent.

[@pageribe2399]

A Hunk, to be sure! And he could sing too! LOL

[@patticriss2238]

I’d have left it all just to wash his underwear. Hahaha

[@carmenluna6870]

I agree. He could have parked his motorcycle in my living room, ate crackers in my bed and left the seat down.

[@pennyfoster9095]

ab thats steel guitar my dad played in his band he was a mean player too for self taught played since late 40s on tv till 70s had so much fun

[@ginaminturn3781]

So glad you are checking out Waylon! You should check out Gary Allen too! Take care!

[@marenehanson5526]

I agree. Smoke Rings in the Dark. Used to hear Waylon in a bar in Phoenix. Many years. Still love him. His wife lives nearby in North Scottsdale AZ

[@WendyJoJohnston]

"Now her hair was jet black And her name was Codeine She thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Queens She got tired of that smokey-wine dream Began to feel lonesome, on'ry, and mean" So yeah, drugs, but codeine, not coke or any of the others. It's a mild painkiller, and it's very addictive. If you have heard of people drinking cough syrup, it's because of the codeine in it. Very addictive. I adore Waylon and all of his music, and in 1975 I was 15, and I love this song. His music has a strong Texas-style rockin' country sound. Listen to his song "Bob Wills is still the King" to get a good taste of the Texas sound. I strongly recommend listening to The Outlaws album, Waylon, Willie Nelson Tompall Glaser, and Jesse Colter, Waylon's wife and a fine singer on her own. Her biggest radio hit was "I'm Not Lisa" in the early 70s. Tompall's "Put Another Log on the Fire" is a classic! Fun reaction, I enjoy watching you explore some songs from my life, you young'uns need to have the opportunity to hear good country music!

[@rowdster77]

I was 10 but I am still with ya !

[@reallyright2431]

Bodien not coldien.

[@travishill9748]

“Bodine” And later in the song yes it does refer to cocaine when he says “From his snowy white dream”

[@kimking6036]

Waylon and Johnny Cash were roommates. Johnny would fall asleep and Waylon would forget his key. So he kicked in and replaced a lot of doors. Waylon wrote and preformed the theme song for a TV show. The song was Good ol' boys. The show was Dukes of Hazzard. Also where Daisey Dukes got their name

[@BlackSmokeDMax]

He also narrated the show.

[@stanshearer7343]

Steel Guitar. It was a staple in old country. It's played like a guitar layed down flat, usually with a "slide" bar in one hand and a pick in the other.

[@LandYall]

Waylon's phased telecaster was one of a kind

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

I remember when this came out. We lived in the country on an old farm. Played this record all summer that year.

[@jonbrowne9661]

As someone who loves Waylon, this was a lot of fun to watch. Hope you enjoyed him, sir

[@ElizHill70]

Waylon is country outlaw legend!

[@debrabenoist1596]

Steel guitar, I love the sound

[@brianwilson9206]

Outlaw country, gotta love it

[@ds4101]

I would love to see your reaction to Johnny Cash's song "Boy Named Sue". It's hilarious.

[@emilyholloway3988]

Did you know that was written by Shel Silverstein?

[@tanyaweathersby9393]

❤Waylon oozes cool ❤

[@joeyricefried9621]

LEGEND.

[@tamera402]

❤Waylon

[@crystaldunson9578]

Also check out August 12, 1978 at the Opry House. Best Waylon Jennings concert ever

[@katmandew2152]

You rock dude. Thanx.

[@kevindavis7620]

Straight outlaw country. Waylon loved his coke in the 70’s.

[@wearinganapron]

I believe it is a reference to drugs, yes. The song is expressing that the way he had been living, outlaw style, was killing him. He had wrecked his health, was in debt up to his eyeballs, was paying alimony to 3 wives, and was in trouble with the IRS. So he was wanting to get a new start, and turn things around. But the way it is written, the listener can take it the way he wants -- either about a black-haired woman named Codine, or about his partying lifestyle with drugs. It's a great song.

[@HeatherTerry84]

I love “I’m A Long Way From Home” is probably my favorite Walon song

[@lancerx1759]

Legend !!!

[@chrisfernandes3730]

Waylon aint no joke. And that steel guitar!

[@ALT_RIGHT]

Careful...... Waylon is addicting.

[@marccohen4571]

Too late for me. Pure addict

[@MaryABJM]

Yes you were ✅️

[@mommabird2813]

Only reason I know this music is because of my grandmother, grew up listening to this and a ton of other music.

[@CoastalNomad]

Nice Reaction Video fellow KC area resident...... The "Snowy White Dreams" in this song and "Speeding my young life away" (in "Sure Hank done it this away"), refers to Cocaine usage througth out is early career.........

[@thewindle]

You get a chance, Waylon is part of the super group, the Highway Men, the others being Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. He also has a duet with Hank Jr, The Conversation, with Johnny Cash, There Ain't no Good Chain Gang and a few with Willie.

[@jennlee7929]

That is a steel guitar and it is a common instrument in a lot of the old country music not so much in the modern country music though I’ve heard some people call it the pedal guitar because it has foot petals just like a piano and I’ve other people Call it a slide guitar because of the metal slide bar you use with one hand, but I’ve always known it as a steel guitar because you pick it with one hand like a regular guitar

[@larrylucas1079]

Should find Waylon Jennings' songs "Good Ol'Boys [Theme of "Dukes Of Hazard]" & "Luckenbach, Texas"

[@AndieO]

Hoping you'll checkout Struggle Jennings shopping Cry Of The Crusaders. He's Waylon's grandson. Much talent in that bloodline with many of Waylon's children and grandchildren making moves in country music.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Yes, he could’ve been talking about coke. I think that the lady’s name, “Modine” was a metaphor for “Codine.” Waylon was classified as Outlaw Country, and there were drugs involved. He even wrote a song, DON’T YOU THINK THIS OUTLAW BIT HAS DONE GOT OUT OF HAND. It’s a true story.

[@rblood8076]

Morning AB you should check out waylon's song, Toe the mark and walk the line live. The harmonica will catch you. HOOK IT.

[@SteveHiggins-pn1wi]

That's Waylon God damn Jennings. Lol.

[@russellw7785]

Please listen to all of his stuff. Then listen to, I've always been Crazy,. It's one of the best songs ever written in my opinion

[@marypodobinski7320]

Check out his son! Shooter Jennings! He's so good! Love your reaction videos 😊

[@MaryABJM]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@TherealBo4_God863]

This shit was like a revolution in 1975 compared to all the other country music 😂

[@dustinsmith8786]

Waylon is the 2Pac of country music.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

It is a pedal steel guitar, synonymous with Country music.

[@waymoreblues]

Looking for a Feeling is about Cocaine. Another Waylon Classic.

[@jodyparkercraven]

Check out waylon rose in paradise. The guy playing the steel guitar is one the master steel players Ralph Mooney

[@lunchboxradio5890]

Waylon was supposed to be on the plane that crashed and killed Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly. They were all touring together, and Waylon opted to ride on the tour bus, instead of getting on the plane.

[@darkomtobia]

You should check out Junior Brown, he uses a wild combo guitar with steel guitar section. "My Wife Thinks You're Dead"

[@andrewm-gw5oz]

Love me some Waylon. After all he was Buddy Holly's bass player.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

That was during the time when he bought coke by the pounds

[@p-nut4209]

Love the reaction as usual have you got into any Travis Tritt yet? If not, you’re gonna love him.

[@thresher4]

That instrument is a pedal steel guitar.

[@stanshearer7343]

How about reacting to "That's The Way Love Goes"? It was written by Lefty Frizzell and Whitey Shafer. The story goes that Lefty offered it to Merle Haggard first but Merle said Lefty should record it first. When Lefty said no Johnny Rodriguez said he would and it went to #1 (?). Lefty recorded it before he died but not a chart topper. When Lefty's wife needed money Merle recorded it and it went to #1. Merle donated all the profits to Lefty's wife. More to the story but I want to be brief.

[@artis-x9c]

Waylon influenced the Rolling Stone as well. You can hear some of his influences on the 1976 album Some Girls.

[@carmenluna6870]

He was into Coke pretty bad. Watch his interview with Johnny Cash. He will tell you straight from his own mouth.

[@MaryABJM]

@ABTheKreator check out Merle Haggard, he was an Awesome song writer, singer, he sang with Willie Waylon, Kris Kristofferson

[@ivansavoie3190]

Can you please react to Mental Revenge, first song I heard by Waylon Jennings in the 60s.

[@FabanoticFrances]

If you like Waylon, plz check out Struggle Jennings his grandson. Any SJ song is good 😊 My favs are God we need you now & Cries of the Crusaders. 💕 You vids!

[@lawsonwomack8097]

Gotta do a Charley Crockett video next . You won’t regret it

[@vickit.1797]

hey do a reaction to the song by him called "Outlaw bits got out of hand"" and you'll get your answer there, Waylon has admitted in interviews that he was addicted to coke and busted for coke and the song "outlaw bit done got out of hand" is a song about a time he was busted.

[@sharonpate5481]

I think you got it. I just actually heard more that hinted at drugs ❤️☮️👵🏼

[@Cabbagepatch790]

That is the best paddle steel guitar player there is is Ralph Mooney

[@jimkontos4221]

I was born in 1977 myself

[@gordonharriman4251]

If you like Walton!!!!! Try the Highway Men. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson

[@lefty3141591]

That is a steel guitar. It produces a distinctive sound in much of country music. I"m going Broke Down South of Dallas (Singing a little guitar and a little steel mixed in kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2SvfGSDqZh2kKM) Freeborn Man (Singing and tearing up the guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6DNhqODhdllrM0) Surf Medley (Instrumental kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ_MhKdmrs2lpac) I included links because I think Junior Brown is someone that I had to see play live to really appreciate what he was doing. His band is him, an upright bass, his wife on rhythm guitar, and a drummer.) Thanks for this reaction. I hope you have a great day.

Snow? In New Orleans?

[@jamesdemarco7161]

It ain't on the fence. She though she was the queen of the bars she hung out in, but she got tired of her "snowy white dreams"... began to feel lonesome, ornery, and mean. She's coming to terms with her unhealthy existence.

[@hkent31]

Need to listen to George Strait! over 50 #1 hits.

Her name was codeine and she was the queen of the the streets she got tired of the snowy white dreams.. aka bottom line cocaine is the answer..

[@CoCo-bb6ou]

[@sassyvirgo55]

A piano with string…😂

[@nickp.2432]

Steel guitar is country, well it used to be. Bubblegum country pop nowdays..

[@BOOMNERD51]

Pedal steel guitar, played with a metal slide. Unfortunately, cocaine was one of Waylon's weaknesses it's alleged. Certainly died too young.
