A Moment Of Silence For Waylon Jennings


Country music has lost one of its giants. Or at least one of its outlaws. Perhaps the state flag of Texas should fly at half mast today. Or at least the one in Luckenbach, Texas.

Kinsekd; I had not heard that Waylon Jennings had passed away. Thankyou for the notice, and it is a sad day indeed. I especially liked his "kind of mentorship" to Hank Williams Jr., and I agree he was one of the giants of C/W music. Craig.
I have one of his records, have really enjoyed his music (since discovering him when the Grateful Dead covered "Mama Tried" at a concert in 1978).

I'd really like to hear more recommendations for people's favorite Waylon recordings!

Thanks!

He was from the old school, which I favor. My favorites of his were written and performed in the 70's and there is a Greatest Hits albumn which shows him in his prime if anyone wants to see what he was all about. Best appeciated with an American beer, (or two, or three.)
