This is the version of this great song I have heard,can't stop playing it,all the greats are leaving us

[@summerbreezelandn]

R.I.P. Waylon. I had the pleasure of working with him in 1969 at the Bandar in Ventura ca. I was playing lead guitar with a Husband & Wife Team, Del & Sue Smart. The club was owned by Johnny & Jonie Mosby. We were bring in monthly guest stars,so I was fortunate to be a part of that scene, Thanks Larry

[@lilidoucet]

Waylon is the best singer ever. I have been listening to him for over 40 years. Have never heard a better voice and guitar picker. Gosh I miss him! Thanks for posting.

[@supermex43]

best singer ever is right.waylons music will never b forgotton .not by me.

[@lilidoucet]

Max Mendoza Glad you agree with me Max.

I use to think that Elvis had the greatest voice but Waylon is even better, best version of this classic song I've ever heard.

Not only was Waylon an amazing singer, I've never seen anybody else play the guitar like he did

There never was and never will be another Waylon Jennings the legend one of the best country singers ever to walk on stage handsome too! R. I. P Waylon

[@evelynwilliams2836]

Those Dimples!!

[@SMART73ER]

He was very handsome in this performance.

[@MsBeaver2011]

He was one of the greatest singers and guitar players! WOW

[@dsbiddle]

I've been developing a real appreciation for some country music, especially artists like Waylon, because it's masculine. It's not this wussy, screaming, pop-culture, flavor-of-the-moment, stuff. A man singing like a man. A voice that sounds like the man who owns it actually has a spine. Cool, man! Praise the Lord.

[@godfreymcdowell3488]

I strongly maintain that any song by Waylon would be the topmost plinth of excellence. Any unfortunate person coming after Waylon singing the like song, would be hard pressed to approach him in steer briliance.

[@te2751]

he is the best. but billy joe shaver is very good, as song writer and performer BJS is the winner, voice goes to waylon

[@te2751]

check out some john prine

[@geraldscott4302]

Waylon was one of the best. I met him in Chandler, AZ just a couple of years before he died. I am now 62, and a lifelong fan.

[@lucillemagnus2880]

Nothing wrong with Janis' cover. Imho. Lucy

[@billkop3717]

I sure do miss him, but he's never forgotten, one good artist, R.I.P Waylon.

[@AJWelch111]

God I miss him too! This is thee best music, from the best time. If I could find a man that sounds like this...wew-wew!!! :)

[@davidjostein9770]

Hello dear, how are you and were are you texting from and how's the weather

[@EZNowTrucker]

By far the best version yet. Waylon has a way to make each song his own. A damn good musician

[@clarencewood6620]

Young Mooney too, what a treat, Thanks!!!

[@michaelwilkerson9763]

waylon sings so pure and moon backing him on steel makes it that much better

[@marlawatson4941]

Happy Birthday Waylon!!! You would have turned 80 today 6/15/2017. You were & still are the best! Your music lives on. You are missed & you never will be forgotten! Love you Hoss! Whoop whoop!

[@barbaralara-watson6935]

Love all of Waylon’s performances, especially these earlier ones, his voice is superb. I watched the Nashville Rebel last night, fantastic. Worth the watch if you get a chance. I wish I had discovered Waylon, Johnny, Merle, Glen and many others so much earlier - just to have seen them on stage, luckily u tube deliveries these gems.

[@jodacious46]

Rest in peace, Waylon! We'll all be together one day!

[@jzbartolome1]

Waylon looking like this is so impressive and his guitar playaing is second to none. Of all the versions of this song, I like the best. He is so down to earth but what talent!

[@mosrite60]

Waylon and the Outlaws......some of the best country ever heard!

[@n.leticiaarizpe2045]

His voice honestly just got better and better with age. Wonderful to hear all of his songs!

[@jimmyreese4740]

The absolute best version of this song! Waylon was an incredible singer and nobody picked a guitar like Waylon did.

[@danslagle9060]

Know where I can find a photo of his name on the marquee from back in the day?

[@joanbirkes630]

Waylon could sing any song wrote and make a hit out of it. I love his music and yes he was a great guitar player.

[@wkuenstler]

Can't belive I just heard this version by Waylon now. Totally a agree with all about his powerful singing and awesome guitar.

[@SMART73ER]

Me too. Because of Kris' death I'm checking out different artists. This is great, up there with the The Grateful Dead and Gordon Lightfoot. All very different, but great to listen to.

[@bobbeck2743]

Pure genius

[@kellyaiken7601]

Forever young WAYLON...you had it all...you still are best for sure..

[@coonhunter1997]

I can tell a little bit of difference in his voice between his younger self and older self, but this is his younger self with his older voice. It's mind blowing

[@travisowens8602]

True, it was right before the outlaw phase began.

[@godfreymcdowell3488]

Joplin, Rimes, Pink and all others who have murdered this iconic song, listen carefully to how Mr. Jennings sings it. The way Kris meant it to be sung.

[@johnsudar5567]

Joplin murdered this song? Hmm. I'll say this: A classic like this can be done any number of ways by a variety of artists, and its a tribute to the song that that's the case. I don't think there's one way to interpret a great song. Finally, Kris, himself, loved Janis's version: He said it brought him to tears and he listened to it over and over again.

[@mistdeedawn9735]

wayon is a handsome man also him and Jessie made such a good couple

[@tommypetersen2540]

Waylon's book had such a profound effect on me, the more I got to know about his personal triumphs, the more I appreciated his artistry. Waylon's biggest flaw? He always thought he was not a very good guitar player!? Exactly what does Waylon consider good? His image was one thing,but in truth a humble and good man. And man could he sing!

[@ScotchArsh]

Tommy Petersen You got it! The Book is absolutely amazing. I loved the man and respected his work. Even more so, after reading his words. What a hell of a man.

[@tommypetersen2540]

Brian French nice to find another Waylon fan! Hearing this it just astounds me that it took him so long to truly break out. That voice was so recognizable as was his playing. Waylon ( as you know) was never comfortable with the outlaw image... Which really does make him a true outlaw). Favorite part of the book has to be either sitting with shooter in the restaurant or him meeting the blind girl. As you said, a hell of a man.

[@Loan--Wolf]

Tommy Petersen he got the out law tag because he wouldntbow down to the lable he played music his way

[@denisjl100]

+Tommy Petersen a lot of years ago i went to drive in in welland ontario and saw a movie called nashville rebel. there was a song called green river. i instantly loved the song. about a month later i went to ottawa ontario to visit my grandfather and play some golf. i read in the paper that there was a guy called waylon jennings playing a little nightclub called the chamberlain room in the vicinity. i couldn't get there fast enough. he put on one hell of a show. he had broken his ankle and had to do the show sitting down but he looked just like the guy in this video, short hair cowboy shirt. not like the look he had later in his life. always liked him and watched his career grow almost from the beginning. miss him alot.

[@tommypetersen2540]

+Denis Lessard WOW! so jealous that you got to see him live. I know he came here to Toronto a few times but that was when I was too embarrassed/stupid to admit I liked country music. Of course Waylon was not just country, he simply was MUSIC regardless of genre. Around the time you saw him would have been when he got into a bar fight at the Horseshoe Tavern here. The story is in his book and it is hilarious!!!

[@ronhauther6034]

Awesome performance Waylon!! RIP.

[@stephengraham5550]

What a voice, what a guitar picker, a man who fought the system and won,by doing things his way, there will sadly never be another one like waylon he was simply untouchable.

[@bobbeck2743]

The finest Baritone ever to grace this planet

[@carlyoung851]

This is pure class and finesse. Look at the drummer putting everything he has into it but with restraint, the way he imitates the windshield wipers when Waylon sings that part.

I loved him 40 years ago and I still think today that he is the best voice I have heard. Not bad to look at either. R.I.P. Waylon I miss you terriubly.

3 of my favourites growing up listening to Waylon Jennings were: Me and Bobby McGee, Ramblin Man, and Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. I had purchased the hardcover book (Waylon: Tales of My Outlaw Dad) autographed by Author,Terry Jennings a few weeks ago and already half way through reading, i’m still learning things I never knew about Waylon. This is a must read book hands down for both old and young to learn about one the greatest Artists of his time. Order your copy of the book today, you will not be disappointed.

Mind-blowing! 👉😍💓🌹 👉👍Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, Took us all the way to New Orleans. Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song That driver knew. Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me, Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. ব্যাটন রুজের ফ্ল্যাট ভাঙা, ট্রেনগুলির দিকে হেঁটে যাওয়া, আমার জিন্স হিসাবে প্রায় বিবর্ণ মনে হচ্ছে। বৃষ্টির ঠিক আগে ববি একটি ডিজেল নিচে ফেলে দিল, আমাদেরকে নিউ অর্লিন্সে নিয়ে গেল। আমার নোংরা লাল বন্দনা থেকে আমার হারপুন বের করলো এবং দু sadখিত ছিল 'ববি যখন ব্লুজ গেয়েছিল, তাদের সাথে উইন্ডশিল্ড ওয়াইপারগুলি সময় স্ল্যাপিন করছে এবং ববি ক্ল্যাপিনের হাত আমরা শেষ পর্যন্ত প্রতিটি গান গেয়েছি সেই চালক জানতেন। স্বাধীনতা হারাতে বাকি কিছুই নেই, এবং কিছুই মূল্যহীন নয় কিন্তু এটি বিনামূল্যে, ভালো লাগা সহজ ছিল, প্রভু, যখন ববি ব্লুজ গেয়েছিলেন, এবং বন্ধু, এটা আমার জন্য যথেষ্ট ভাল ছিল, আমার এবং আমার ববি ম্যাকগির জন্য যথেষ্ট ভাল। 👉From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done, And every night she kept me from the cold. কেন্টাকির কয়লাখনি থেকে ক্যালিফোর্নিয়ার সূর্য পর্যন্ত, ববি আমার আত্মার গোপন কথা শেয়ার করেছেন, আমি যা করেছি তার মধ্য দিয়ে আমার পাশে দাঁড়াও, এবং প্রতি রাতে সে আমাকে ঠান্ডা থেকে রক্ষা করে। 👉Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find, Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine. তারপর সলিনাসের কাছাকাছি কোথাও, প্রভু, আমি তাকে স্লিপ করতে দিয়েছি, সে ভালোবাসা খুঁজছিল আমি আশা করি সে খুঁজে পাবে, আচ্ছা আমি আমার সমস্ত কালকে এককালের জন্য ট্রেড করতাম, ববির শরীরটা আমার কাছে ধরে আছে। 👉👉Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, And nothin' left was all she left to me, Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues, And buddy, that was good enough for me. Good enough for me and Bobby McGee. Lose স্বাধীনতা হারাতে বাকী কিছু বাকি নেই, আর কিছুই বাকি ছিল না সে আমার কাছে রেখে গেছে, ভালো লাগা সহজ ছিল, প্রভু, যখন ববি ব্লুজ গেয়েছিলেন, এবং বন্ধু, এটা আমার জন্য যথেষ্ট ভাল ছিল। আমার এবং ববি ম্যাকগির জন্য যথেষ্ট ভালো।

[@jimsouthern1398]

In my DJ days, back in 1968, Waylon came up to me backstage and asked if there was a coffee shop nearby. I told him there was so he said let's go get a cup. As we were walking out the door, Tex Ritter hollered "Wait for me" and came with us. There I was, in a booth with Waylon and Tex and I didn't say a word the whole time. Waylon was upset because Chet Atkins wouldn't let him do things his way and Tex tried to convince him to relax, he was making good money and on the good tours. Actually, just listening to Tex Ritter talk was the biggest thrill. That deep South accent with his booming voice way like honey in my ears.
