Waylon Jennings died in 2002. His song "I'm a Ramblin Man" was released on his album The Ramblin Man in 1974. Waylon's voice and his band sound are very distinctive. He is truly one of country music's greatest.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hi guys. The other Ramblin Man song was the Allman Brothers song from around 73. Waylon was definitely OG outlaw (see Highwaymen). Many moons ago Waylon was playing bass for Buddly Holly. He and another band member were asked to give up their seats on the bands plane for The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens as one of them was too sick to ride the bus on that cold night. They did. That night was the one sung about in Don McLeans song American Pie (The Day the Music Died) as that plane crashed that night killing Buddy and all on board. Don't know if you've ever seen The Dukes of Hazzard TV show. The opening theme music is sung and they show just a pair of hands playing guitar. Both the singer and the guitar player is Waylon.

[@michelleortega1514]

Waylon is one of the outlaw country artists.Johnny cash belonged to that club.This song was 1974.70s and 80s country were my favorite

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We sure enjoyed it. - Keith

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

Waylon, the very best ever!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We enjoyed it.

[@hollypinkley]

Waylon is the G.O.A.T !!!!!! drop mic - end of story - period!!!! He changed the course of country music!!!

[@dennishuntley7688]

Waylon....once considered too country for rock n roll, too rock n roll for country. Is why he is considered the OG Outlaw.

[@wheelmanstan]

Waylon is the man. Such a cool mans man kinda dude. Total outlaw. Willie, Waylon, Merle, Jones, Cash...

[@dennishuntley7688]

Add Charlie Pride, Freddy Fender

[@wheelmanstan]

@@dennishuntley7688 Yeah two legends no one seems to speak about. Heck Charley Pride was one of the first professional black ball players. The Rangers named a training field after him recently.

[@barbaravance6774]

I also loved the stuff he did as partook The Highwaymen- Everyone forgets to mention Kris Kristofferson. He's such a great song writer! He wrote for so many big artists.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Guys: the 70’s brought the Outlaw Country movement. Willie hot feed-up with Nashville over-producing music (you’ll hear the sound in Hello Walls). Willie went home to Texas & built his own recording studio (outside of Austin). Waylon was fighting the same thing. Waylon caught a Producer (messing with his music) and pulled a pistol on him. Waylon called Willie and he left to record at Willie’s studio… the hard hitting electric guitar, blues sound was born and hits were made. Take a journey! With Willie, you’ll always hear a crying harmonica, a 1800 saloon piano, and his famous guitar, Trigger. Waylon is a master guitarist. Merle Haggard is a master guitarist with a love of the big band sound. And just for thrills…in the 1960’s Ray Charles put his career on the line to record his favorite music in his award-winning Album…The Sounds of Country and Western Music.

[@elizabethdunavant629]

I’m 75 and when Nashville turned their backs on these guys, we embraced them. They were playing in my car and at home all the time. I love them all but Waylon was my favorite.

[@armywife1641]

Waylon is classic outlaw country! I’ve always been crazy is another great one by him. Actually you can’t go wrong with any Waylon song!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We'll add Always Been Crazy to our list.

There is something Primal about Waylons music that thumping beat just brings genetic memories of dancing around the fire

[@hollyp6395]

Waylon Jennings, you got in some great country there. Back when country music was true country music in my opinion. Waylon was part of The Highwaymen with Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Worth a listen for sure.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Stay tuned for that one!

[@757optim]

Waylon & Willie were icons of Outlaw music. You guys probably have heard the Allman Brothers' "Ramblin Man".

If you watched The Dukes of Hazzard back in the day then you have heard him . He also narrated the show . He also has a grandson that is in music , a bit different than him . Struggle Jennings , he does a lot of collabs with some really good artists .

[@valerieblack6445]

He was roommates with Johnny Cash when they first came to Nashville. Waylon's WANTED The outlaws album in the 70s was the first country album to go platinum. He wrote very blunt lyrics....like "Get your younger out of my mouth I'm kissing you good bye". Waylon also recorded with his wife some. Jesse Colter a star in her own right. He wrote Good hearted Woman about Jesse. You really can't go wrong with Waylon's songs.

Wyoming whiskey is....pretty damn good. So is Waylon Jennings.

[@icspots2351]

Waylon had a great sense of humor. He also led the way for artistic control of his music, using his own band to record with instead of having to use house bands.

[@carlprince2866]

I paused before the vid because i wanted to comment that wait until you hear Waylons Guitar

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Yeah, dude could play, that's for sure. - Keith

[@bwilliams463]

This is a classic example of Waylon's sound. If you're looking for more by him, look into 'Drinkin' and Dreamin,' 'Waymore's Blues,' or one of his great duets with Willie Nelson, like 'Makin's of a Song' or 'Old Age and Treachert.'

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

[@whiskeyblenderfraley4235]

@Bourbon Country Reacts, Wyoming Whiskey Master Blender Nancy Fraley here. The batch that you have there is actually 8 years and 10 months old. The fact that the winters are SO long in WY means that the maturation season is fairly short but very dry and hot, so the barrels might not taste as old at nearly 9 years as they would in KY at the same age. And to explain a little bit about the whiskey: the first Master Distiller at Wyoming Whiskey didn't like working with rye, so he rebelled and made a "rye-ish" whiskey that only had 48% rye in the mash bill vs. the at least 51% that is required by law to make true rye whiskey. Once we discovered this 4 years after the fact, we decided to blend the "rye-ish" whiskey with the rye-recipe Bourbon that was distilled at the same time (2011). The result was a whiskey that was 1/3 of the "rye-ish" whiskey to 2/3rds rye Bourbon that was blended together to create Outryder. As a side note, whenever I am working to blend the whole portfolio of Wyoming Whiskey's Bourbon and whiskey, I tend to listen and be inspired by a lot of Outlaw Country musicians such as Waylon, Willie, Cash, Coe, etc. I'm also a big fan of all three Hanks (i.e., Sr, Jr., and III). I play bass guitar, so all this music influences both my whiskey blending and bass playing. At any rate, glad to hear that you enjoyed the WW Outryder, and cheers!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We did enjoy it. (I'm still enjoying it because the bottle's at my house) You've done a great job with it. And thanks for all that background info. If we're ever in WY, we'll look you guys up. - Keith

[@johnmancuso9077]

Waylon was friends with Buddy Holly, he was on tour with Buddy. He gave his seat to JP Richardson aka The Big Bobber.

[@jerricocke987]

Waylon Jennings was originally supposed to be on the plane with Buddy Holly that faithful night Buddy Holly died along with the Big bopper and Richie Valens but the big bumper wasn't supposed to be on the plane he had a cold and Waylon Jennings gave him his seat on the plane and rode the bus to give him a chance to recover. Translation Wayland's been around a while you might want to check out Wayland and Willie luckenbach Texas this man basically between he and Willie Nelson they basically started the outlaw movement in country music of singing what they wrote and what they lived as opposed to what the writers wanted them to sing

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I did not know he was supposed to be on that plane. - Keith

Waylon Jennings is my personal favorite singer in any genre. He could sing any song well. His version of Simon and Garfunkle's 'The Boxer' is a good example. 'If I Were a Carpenter' or 'Norwegian Wood' are good covers too. Personally, if I had to pick a favorite of his I would say 'Lonesome, Onry, and Mean'

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I might have to check out The Boxer off channel. - Keith

@@timshelley8635, I know this is a year later, but I just saw this video now. Waylon and Buddy did not flip the coin. That was Tommy Allsup that lost the coin toss to Ritchie Valens. Waylon voluntarily gave up his seat to J.P. Richarson( The Big Bopper). J.P. had the flu and needed to get check out by a doctor before the next show. The heater on the bus didn't work and the bus was cold. Buddy joked with Waylon and said, "I hope your old bus freezes up." Waylon joked back, " I hope your plane crashes." Waylon blamed himself for years after that.
