Don Williams is another country singer worth checking out. I particularly like his song "I Believe In You."

[@nancyharn1980]

You’re right. Country music from the 60’s and 70’s was the best country music.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

The look of pure joy on Amber's face when she realized that she was listening to Willie Nelson singing on the same song with Waylon made my heart happy. She got bonus Willie. Next they need to react to Mammas Don't Let Their Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. Another Waylon and Willie classic.

[@peggygoddard8038]

So many great songs with him and Willie! "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" is great!

[@xzonia1]

❤

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I saw a meme that said 20 years after Willie & Waylon sang "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys," Paula Cole sang "Where have all the cowboys gone?"

[@christinegreen3974]

One of my favorites!

[@bengilbert7655]

A classic,

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Plus a great movie for them to watch with Willie in it, The Electric Horseman, with Robert Redford

[@jeffreyflint6286]

What can I say. From being the bass player in Buddy Holly and the Crickets to his stellar solo career. He kicked ass and was the man. RIP Waylon. Man are you missed by legions of fans.🤟🤟👍

[@barbarahawkins7331]

Waylon gave up his seat on the plane to Richie Valens

[@fatguypa]

To get technical, Waylon was never a cricket. He joined Buddy on thar tour because he had a falling out with his manager and the crickets stayed in Lubbock.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

@@fatguypa that's true. I just went with that as I remembered him in there with them.

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

Waylon credits buddy holly with giving him the wisdom to become the person and artist he was.without his intervention who knows if Waylon would GB ave been as successful as he was

Luckenbach is north of San Antonio, the last resident died in a nursing home a few years ago. The town was purchased, lock stock and barrel and is used as a recording studio and open stage. We spent a very nice July 4th sitting, drinking Pearl and digging the music.

[@laineyboy]

Is the dance hall still kicking? And the food drive Sunday morning gigs.

[@trjbrew]

Classic!!! As a native Texan, a right of passage is having a cold beer in Luckenbach. It's a real town just south of US 290 near Fredericksburg in the central Texas Hill Country. This song along with Willie Nelson's "Blue eyes crying in the rain," and Chris Rea's "Texas" I would put in a time capsule for future generations to get the feeling of my state in music.

[@sundayze]

I'm in Hill Country and when my grown kids and their kids get tired of tubing in the Frio, we head to Luckenbach. Musicians jamming under the trees and the beer is always great.

[@tinypurplefishesrunlaughin8052]

Wow! You said it! I participated in a Motorcycle rodeo there traveling from Austin with a moto buddy who had to be prodded greatly to enroll which I did knowing his and his sons talent riding tandem. At dusk heading back home I smiled constantly being blinded by that giant trophy bungeed to that bike; to Greg and Lance Fink. 1st place winners

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

Native Texan here! My dad has a Luckenbach sign up in his garage bar right by the Dallas Cowboys pay phone he’s had since 1984!

[@hunterhitch2858]

I live in San Antonio. Been to Luckenbach many times. There’s actually nothing there. LOL

[@michaelbirdwell7985]

Two thumbs up to your time capsule suggestions, especially Chris Rea’s underrated “Texas.”

[@robertg7396]

Interesting fact; Waylon was on the same tour that Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper was on when they tragically died in a plane crash. In fact, Waylon lost his seat on the plane with a coin toss to Ritchie Valens. Otherwise, it would have been him. 😮 May they all RIP.

[@fatguypa]

Actually Waylon gave his seat to the big bopper. Valets won the coin toss with Tommy Alsup

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

Facts!

[@chrisdutton2975]

The last thing that Waylon said to his good friend Buddy after Buddy made a crack about Waylon freezing to death on the bus: "I hope your damn plane crashes." Waylon never forgave himself.

[@David_Theisen]

Ooh Baby That’s What I Like! Chantilly Lace by Big Bopper

[@mtpugh]

First, the Hatfields and McCoys were famous feuding families (1863-1891). “The Real McCoys” was a situation comedy that aired from 1957 to 1963, and in rerun syndication for years after that. In fact, it can still be found on several streaming services. Other references include singers Hank Williams, Mickey Newberry, Jerry Jeff Walker, and a mention of Willie Nelson’s 1975 hit “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” Of course, Amber caught Willie singing in the final refrain.

[@Bluemgwes]

No one better than Waylon when it came to country music. What a voice and what a musician. "Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way" is my favorite song of his.

[@teresajarrell452]

YES!! 👍😃👍

[@DavidOmaha1]

Great tune.

[@brianmcgrath5977]

Tell me one more time ,just so's I'll understand

[@jjm3974]

That's my favorite too...

[@CW-mx7eb]

One of my favorites, too. Also, "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line."

[@johnv61]

Willie and Waylon also did “mama’s don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys”…you’ll love it! Consider Waylon’s wife, Jessi Colter, for a female Friday with her “I’m not Lisa” song. You’ll love that as well!

[@thecrazyhobo]

I've been to Lukenbach, Texas. It's a VERY small town with a population of 3 people. They have a cute little convenience store and tiny post office both made from wood scraps. The county it's in has a rich German heritage. Fredericksburg is the nearest city, about 10 miles away and is one of the largest German-settled communities in Texas. Lukenbach's tourism is mainly based on this song. lol

[@mark7035]

Had just typed the same thing and KZbin ate it! You stop on one of the back ways to Fredericksburg, walk around for 10 minutes and drive on. Unless someone’s playing the town, which still happens!

[@michelleortega1514]

It's got 13 now.I live an hour and half away from it over in elk city ok.Its the spirit of the song

[@TheTexasRedhead62]

I love going to Fredericksburg!

[@denisegardner1417]

Yep. I live by Luckenbach.

[@williamstreet4304]

I've been to Fredericksburg many times. I'm old now. But I was a child in the 1960's. My family would travel from the Texas panhandle to Port Aransas for summer vacations. I can't remember exactly where. But there was a pit BBQ joint near Fredericksburg. No dining room, no on-site service. We would get BBQ and stop at a nearby roadside park for lunch. Then drive the rest of the way to the beach. Just some great memories of summer in a farming family.

[@reneeturner9187]

"Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain" is Willie's song. Love it 🙂

[@coreymarcum5728]

Not just Willies. Performed by multiple wonderful artists, first by Roy Acuff then by Hank Williams and then 7 other artists before Willie did his. Beautiful song.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Willie's first #1

[@jasongraham5648]

Waylon is the biggest thing to ever come through Nashville PERIOD

[@mcdan84]

Waylon was such a bad ass that Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash looked up to him. True GOAT.

[@bambamsmom7289]

That's a fact 💯💯

[@tonymazz1721]

70's country can't be touched. The decade was stacked with great songs and artists. It was a great time for country music.

[@hellokimmy68]

You have GOT to do Willie's "Blue Eyes Cryin' In the Rain." It is a country CLASSIC that will MOVE you, I swear.

[@lsp65]

My dad's brother died at the age of 34 in the early 80's. He was active duty Air Force and they played "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" at his funeral. There was not a dry eye in the house, including the many members of the military present.

[@genataylor460]

How about Red Headed Cowboy, also by Willie? One of my absolute favorites.

[@DG2244]

This was a time when an artist would take the time to blend the words and the music into a little piece of time that will last forever. Waylon and Willie are American treasures forever.

[@SPTO]

This is one of the best country tunes ever. Jennings is considered the main man when it comes to the outlaw country movement.

[@GranpaMike]

Waylon Jennings was one of the "Real Country" artists. Waylon, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Don Williams, Charley Pride, Hank Sr., Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Charlie Rich, and so many more from that era... they set the standard for what Country was about. I grew up in the '60s and '70s with these legends on the radio, and I know I was so blessed. It was authentic, and this new stuff today just doesn't have it. Thanks for reacting to Waylon, he's been one of my favorites for ages. I think his "WURLITZER PRIZE" is the ultimate example of what a true Country song sounds like. Dylan wrote a song called "DON'T THINK TWICE (IT'S ALL RIGHT)" that has been covered by a lot of talented performers. Waylon's was the best.

[@SusanJohnston]

Willie, Waylon and the boys! Every year they would get together and have a place to have all these singers get together for farmers!

[@vandergod]

I remember checking out “Willie and Family Live” on vinyl from the public library. When it went back to the library, I bought my own copy. Waylon sang a lot on it, that was my first time hearing Waylon. It was a very good day.

[@wayneumbach9413]

This is the country music I grew up listening to, and love!

[@tenerceeman]

A Good Hearted Woman is another song that Wayulon and Willie often did together. It's a favorite of mine and worthy of of a Rob Squad Reaction!

[@notthesmartestguyintheroom3753]

Waylon and Willie moved out of Nashville because it was getting way too commercialized and had created the "Outlaw sound' was actually the office manager of the studio they opened that coined the phrase "Outlaw country" by calling the two of them no good outlaws..lol That simple move to Texas gave us so many GREAT tracks to enjoy,so keep digging, your gonna absolutely love this journey!! If you need some good suggestions just LMK!!

[@michlkwitz]

So the references here are Hank Williams (Sr.), Mickey Newbury, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Willie Nelson's song "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain". I know you've listened to at least one of Hank Sr.'s songs. Newbury was known mostly as a songwriter. Jerry Jeff has a whole catalog to delve into. But you should really check out "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain".

[@fittrad3r687]

Waylon. The pride of Littlefield TX. And pioneer of The Outlaw Movement. Wore his albums and tapes out coming up. 👍

[@scottdarden3091]

Luckenbach is a little unincorporated community near Fredericksburg. They had music festivals there and all the outlaws. Waylon, Willie, Kris, Jerry Jeff, Jesse would all perform there. We would drive up for the weekend and have a blast.

[@janiceschwab4321]

Took all my girls to Luckenback to have a beer for each of their 21st birthdays.

[@stevebuckland2053]

This was a HUGE crossover hit, enjoyed hearing it again! The 70s was just the best for music.

[@jacobhughes70]

This was my dad’s favorite song, he passed away 4 years ago and I think about him every day.

[@xzonia1]

Your dad had great taste. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@jacobhughes70]

[@larynanntapp6333]

I'm 58...this is my all-time favorite song!!! Thank you!!

[@robertg7396]

Did anyone else notice that when Waylon says, "Firm feeling women," Jordan's eyes damn near popped out of his head? 🤣🤣🤣

[@SusanJohnston]

Willie sang a song famous for Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

[@johnwood9504]

A gem from the earlier 70s is "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" by Danny O'Keefe. It has a similar slow, wistful vibe as this one.

[@aarongoldstein7614]

My favorite Danny O’Keefe song is “Magdalena”.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..., Waylon Jennings was one of the KINGS of Outlaw Country!!!....So cool you guys are covering 😎👌 this!!...WOW sooo takes me back to childhood!!!

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

OMG ROB SQUAD, I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT IT IS THAT YOU GUYS ARE REACTING TO THIS SONG!! THIS WAS ONE OF MY MOTHER'S FAVORITE SONGS!! SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE HILL COUNTRY OF CENTRAL TEXAS!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲

[@beverly.alford]

Luckenbach … my stompin’ ground ❤️

[@JDogg1971]

Probably the best song from old Willie and Waylon. Great reaction!

[@faithnyou1732]

Not a big fan of country, but this song did take me back to some great family memories! Waylon could do that. The Hatfields & McCoys feud was a true story of two rural American families in the West Virginia-Kentucky area, feuding for nearly 30 years from 1863-1891. The feud started over a dispute of ownership of two razor-backed hogs and later escalated with a Hatfield's interest in one of the McCoy's daughters. Thanks for a great reaction! ✌💙✌

[@donshell1]

Jay and Amber, Blood Sweat & Tears song "God Bless the Child"...HORNS GALORE...YOU BOTH WILL LOVE IT !

[@tjtampa214]

Monster hit. 🎵 🎸🚘 🔵👢👢 Was played in all the country bars just nonstop, on the radio, TV and everywhere. Just makes me cry but no denying, a great song. Huge country stars (yes, the old stuff is the best).

[@thundernels]

So many great Waylon songs: I like Waymore’s Blues, Wurlitzer Prize, and perhaps Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way. Storms, a duet with his wife is a must!

[@bengilbert7655]

There’s a great duet with Willie and Norah Jones singing Wurlitzer Prize live. I believe it was for Willie’s birthday

[@thundernels]

On one of his birthday specials, there is an excellent clip of Leon Russell, Willie Nelson, and Ray Charles singing Leon’s A Song For You. Leon wrote it and was on his debut album, Willie covered it on Shotgun Willie, and, I think, Ray had just recorded it. The song always has been slightly out of Russell’s range and he opens. Then Willie sings a verse. Then they both step aside for Brother Ray. It brought Willie to tears. I think it was originally a television special so I don’t know how likely a reaction would be taken down, but it’s worth checking out privately. Also, worth seeing is the CBS Sunday Morning clip of how Elton John helped Leon Russell gain his confidence and his rightful place as a legend after falling into somewhat obscurity with their duet album The Union. It brought me to tears.

[@jedlucey946]

Are you sure hank done it this way!

[@brasschuckles3138]

My grandma and I had a very very close relationship, especially after my Grandpa passed away. This was one of her favorite songs. Thank you for doing this song, hits deep. Much love and respect❤️

[@christinegreen3974]

I agree that the older country music is so good! I was a child of the 80s and my parents listened to a lot of 60s, 70s, and 80s country. When people say country music isn't the same, they are so right. It's really a different genre today. Most doesn't have the same heart and soul now.

[@mausermike9188]

I am a rocker and when I grew up, my dad listened to this stuff and I hated it! Now I am in my mid 50’s and I like it so much. I hear this, it makes me think of my dad who died 10 years ago and how much I love and miss him. Those were great times!

[@grobinson7507]

Me too I’m 57 and I use beg my Dad to turn this off he wouldn’t Today I love this music great memories of my Dad ❤

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

Arghhh. I used to make my Mother turn the radio channel when I got in her car. I loved all music except the twangy country music. I'm so ashamed. Why didn't she just "Slap Me"!

[@rodb9275]

Classic country. This is the country music that I love. It's funny because as much as I loved Country growing up, I ABHOR modern country! So strange. I haven't heard this song in years. Thanks for sharing this!

[@wadsworthaaron]

The greatest opening line of a country song ever: "The only two things in life that make it worth livin'... Is guitars tuned good 'n firm feelin' women..." It doesn't get more outlaw country than that. Waylon was the MAN!

[@leeanne7169]

Ahhh Waylon & Willie. The absolute best!!! Thank you for playing this for us. We have missed Old Country too. Please don't wait so long before reacting to more!!

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

This takes me back to when i was probably 6 years old. I grew up in Wisconsin...and the first time I heard this song, was while going "up north" to my grandpas house for a week of fishing, with my dad...my brother....and my uncle. Oh boy.....the tears are falling!!!! Good memories. Thank you.

[@CardiacCat]

Wow.. Haven't heard this in years. It was always one of those country songs that I liked as a kid growing up (and I didn't care for most country). Thanks for this one. Waylon had a fantastic voice

[@davidcollver6155]

Those days with those people are long gone. Sometimes listen to this music though I can smell the smells and hear the sounds that go along with it those were good days.

[@paulamelnyk986]

Know what you mean

[@kimberlyshareemulford4932]

I have said this so many times before, but it's just such a joy watching you both discover and love these amazing artists 😁🎼. What you said about older country songs and how it feels like you are listening to "the roots" of country music --- you are so right. Country songs seem to have so much depth and emotion, and the lyrics just seem to unfold in to these amazing stories. Some of the best story telling can come in the forms of country ballads. 🎵🎶 Thank you for introducing all these incredible artists and songs to all of your fans out there. And for the fans like me who grew up on a lot of the music you listen to, it's a blast to be reintroduced to the songs I love still, and the ones I may have forgotten about. We all love you guys!🥰

[@elizabethfranco1284]

He and Willie Nelson started Out Law Country. Their album with Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser Wanted The Out Laws is one of the best.

[@kati2224]

I own that album. My dad was a huge outlaw fan.

[@surlechapeau]

Gladys Knight just received a Kennedy Center Honor!! (along with U2, Amy Grant, Tania Leon and George Clooney). You'll love Gladys Knight & The Pips "Neither One Of Us", "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"(cover)!! You already heard their Midnight Train To Georgia. Waylon was one of the greats.

[@farmerbill6855]

Glades Knight? Of course I'm glad it's night, I'm getting overtime! A hilarious sketch from the muppet show episode starring Gladys. Thanks for reminding me.

[@dberg666]

My mom loved Waylon and Willie, old school country. I was learning rock guitar but she asked me to play Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, I learned it on my nylon string like Willie she about cried. As as other users said on the Blue eyes video just find the one without the video. Just a man, a guitar and his voice, perfection

[@jazzmaan707]

What a great tune. I remember when this song came out, even the Rock Stations were playing this song. It was a megahit in the country music world.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

one of my favs. love the old outlaw country and western guys. a song mentioned in this one is Willy's "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain" is also one of my favorites. That and "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground."

[@richb313]

Authentic is a great one word description of Waylon.

[@i8twosouls]

They had such great harmonies, that old country music was just so nice to listen to. I forget how much I liked it when I was a kid.

[@lorashepard8933]

This was my father's favorite song. I couldn't sleep the night of April 14, 2005 I was up playing a game and listening to music I had downloaded to my PC. At 4 am this song started playing and I never had downloaded it as I hadn't purchased the cd yet. My dad was in a nursing home recovering from burns and I got a call at 4:05 am telling me that he had Walked On. I believe he did this to say goodbye as he had prevented me from seeing him during the last six weeks of his life and I was "Daddy's only girl".

[@waltw4537]

One of my favorite Waylon Jennings tunes. Great point of view, for sure. Thanks.

[@chrisedwards7095]

Besides Hank the song refers to Mickey Newbury and Jerry Jeff Walker. "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" was written by Fred Rose. Roy Acuff did the original version, but you really need to hear Willie's version.

[@michellejackson6679]

This is such an Anthem to country music... Best ever.. we all love Willie Waylon and the boys....... Johnny and Kris.. this song truly brings it in..

I saw Waylon and Willie together in concert, to this day it's still in my top course concerts all time.

[@stephenulmer3781]

Great song! Waylon Jennings is a great artist! May I suggest ya'll react to his wife now as well with her top five country crossover hit from 1975. His wife is Jessi Colter and the song is "I'm not Lisa" (studio version is best for touching, heartfelt reaction) Thanks you guys ❤

[@michaelknight2118]

Such a big hit. Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, both are worthy. Growing b up in Texas these songs were mandatory. Thanks again for the smile.

[@Coldwarrior7781]

I think Blue Eyes was Willie's best work.

[@mlong1958]

I grew up in Texas and had the pleasure of seeing Waylon perform in Lukenbach in the mid-seventies (population 7 at the time). He put on a good show. Waylon, Willie, and Jerry Jeff were the kings of outlaw country back in the day.

[@bryanfouts287]

Jerry Reed is an amazing guitarist/songwriter that had a huge part of the Nashville sound back in the late 60’s/early 70’s. I would highly recommend his version of “St. James’ Infirmary” or “Sittin’ On Top of the World” to name a few. Or “Alabama Wild Man” or “Guitar Man” for a more lighthearted romp lol. Great content, as always!

[@Coldwarrior7781]

Phenomenal player and what a personality? Roy Clark as well.

[@jacklewis5452]

Waylon Jennings is my favorite country singer. I was lucky to see him at the Ft Worth Stockyards before he passed away.

[@sheilagimino6685]

i'm a sucker for waylon.. lol he was definitely a live act to experience

[@sassymess7111]

I'm from Texas. This was a big Country song.

This song is a classic, Waylon Jennings I would consider outlaw country 🤠, Willie Nelson , Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr. George Jones! Ps, The Hatfield and McCoy was a fued between the families In West Virginia and Kentucky the trail runs through part of my state,West Virginia, it’s a four wheeler trail now.

[@shaneluttrell532]

Waylon... oh man what a voice that man had. This is one of his best, but there are so many others. "Dreaming My Dreams" is definitely worth checking out for a mellow vibe.

[@vincentdarrah]

Waylon was one of the Crickets in Buddy Holly and the Crickets and gave up his seat to the Big Bopper on the plane that took, Buddy, Richie Valens, and Big Bopper, he said it haunted him the rest of his life

[@jayce711]

So happy you reacted to Waylon!! This was a great choice. What a huge hit this was back in the day, and still just as great. Please feel free to do Waylon and / or Willie any time!! They are both great with plenty of hits to chose from.

[@08wildhoney]

I love this song so much! It brings back such fond memories from my childhood. You should really listen to Amanda by Waylon Jennings. Such a beautiful song. I think you would love it.

[@Jen-in-Texas]

Yes- good one!

[@spirittammyk]

I love his voice. He had one of the greatest male voices ever.

[@jillperkins4611]

I am a taxi driver and one of our regular customers was a guitarist for Waylon Jennings in the 70s. Just last week I was on YT and our customer in a video with Waylon. He also toured with Loretta Lynn. He died from liver failure from drinking too much.

[@BSBS-q5w]

Country music, three chords and the truth. Great reaction!

[@GeorgeD1965]

He had a lot of great songs, but he was probably mostly known for "The Good ole boys" the Dukes of Hazard theme song.

If you guys ever do make it to Luckenbach beware,if you blink your eyes you will pass it up! Not overpopulated by no means. I've been a fan of ol'e Waylon since i was 16yrs old,just turned 63 Feb 10th. So much great music over th' years.There will never be another one like him.Miss ya Waylon.

I love the rich timbre of Waylon's voice (and Willie's too)! I love the relaxed quality and deep tones of his voice. This song has always been a favorite of mine. Waylon was a contemporary and friend of Johnny Cash back in the day. He had and overcame his problems with drug addiction as well. Trivia fact: he gave up his seat on the airplane that crashed and killed Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson). BTW, the term timbre is used to describe the tone/color of sound. It's how we identify the difference between one voice/instrument and another. It's pronounced as if it was spelled 'tambour'.

Waylon Jennings is my favorite country singer! Willie is a close second. Thanks for watching and loving!

Would love to hear Amber’s reaction to “A good hearted woman in love with a good timing man.” I prefer Waylon solo as I love his voice on this song. He also had versions with Willie Nelson. This is my favorite Waylon song and I think Amber, in particular, would like the lyrics.

An old friend passed away this year, and he had a place very near Luckenbach, TX. One of the last pictures I saw of him up and about was at the post office there.

I loved this song when it came out. A few years ago I looked up who " Newbury" was. It's Mickey Newbury, he was mostly known for his song writing and story telling lyrics more than singing. However, Check out his version of "Cortelia Clark". And listen for a little after you think it's over. Another of his that on my favorite list is " A long road home" It would be nice to get this guy the credit he deserved.

Smokey Mountain Rain is another country classic that I think you'd really enjoy. And like Jay said, old country is much better than the country music of today.

Undeniably fantastic song!

Great reaction to a great song. If you want to get into some 70's classic country, you got to check out John Conlee. Two good ones to start with are "rose colored glasses" and "backside of 30". You won't be disappointed.

"Jerry Jeff" in this song is the great singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker, who wrote "Mr. Bojangles". He was another of the group of musicians that made Luckenbach famous, and recorded a live album there. The song "Desperados Waiting for a Train" from that album is one I think you would love.

The song mentioned "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" which was a hit for Willie Nelson. Waylon also wrote a song "Bob Wills Is Still The King", paying tribute to Bob Wills And The Texas Playboys. Their music has been called Western Swing and is still very popular with older Texans. A big hit for them is "The San Antonio Rose".. This was written by Bob Wills around 1940.

I love Waylon ❤ I miss him so much

[@that1dragonkid]

Great song!!! One of my favorites!

Love Waylon!!❤ I saw an interview with him not to long ago. He was touring with Buddy Holy, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Apparently, they were heading to their next show and some were riding on the bus and some were flying. Waylon was planning on flying and the Big Bopper was going to ride in the bus. The Big Bopper had some kind of flu/illness and asked if Waylon wouldn’t mind switching with him so he could get to their destination sooner and get some meds or maybe see a doctor. Waylon said he was fine with that as long as Buddy didn’t mind. The rest is history…. Waylon said he lived with a lot of survivors guilt for years after the plane crashed.

Thats the country music I grew up with. The old school greats and their amazing voices. My grandparents would light up and start dancing when these songs came on the radio, or I would surprise them with a record.
