Willie’s version of the song of outlaws going to other planets… imho.. or; their outlaw spirits live for the moment and move on to other adventures or quietly find a hideout with their reckless woman, silver stallion and retire as old folks.

[@chrisj2539]

Especially that first line--"I'm gonna find me a reckless woman..."

[@thraxman]

He does sound impeccably on point here, each note sounds ideally executed, just flows so smoothly through his unique deeper sound. It simply sounds perfect, flawless, like a gall dang polished diamond in the mix it’s so well matched to the song in every aspect. Waylon was the best,…

[@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse]

Waylon's wink, Johnny's smile, clean shaved Kris and Willie's mullet. Absolute charm, country and the soul of America condensed into a little over 3 minutes of timeless music.

[@big4skol83]

RIP Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings I’m not even that big of a country music fan but these four highwaymen sure are great musicians and I love listening to their music. No matter what music community you may come from, there is absolutely NO denying that Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson, and Jennings were (and still are) legends that live on and will live on! They were in deed a unique form of country music, even in the realm of their sub-genre known as “outlaw country.”

[@sumoslap1973]

Agreed. Outlaw and these 4 ascend Country. So does Patsy Cline. She is too good to be called any “genre” of a singer.
