Waylon Jennings Artist Snapshot:

Texan country singer Waylon Jennings was always a bit of a rocker. Early on, he played bass with Buddy Holly, and his first solo records included Beatles covers, highly unusual for a country artist at the time. Jennings was one of the key figures of the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, rejecting the lush countrypolitan sound in favor of a raw, electrified approach that owed more to the Rolling Stones than to Billy Sherrill. With a small band and simple arrangements, Jennings introduced contemporary rock-oriented grooves into his hard-hitting country sound, adding some funky grit to common-man poetics on tunes about the tougher side of life. He inspired a subsequent generation of country iconoclasts, and spurred on contemporaries like Willie Nelson and Tompall Glaser.

WAYLON LIVE is part of Buddha Records' Original Masters series.

WAYLON LIVE was originally conceived as a double album, containing tracks from two 1974 performances. However, it was initially released (in 1976) as a single LP. This 1999 reissue (Buddha also did Waylon's discography proud with the re-release of the seminal HONKY TONK HEROES and others) finally sees WAYLON LIVE presented in all its 20-track glory. Waylon in his mid-'70s prime is a joy to hear, accompanied by the famed version of his band that includes steel wizard Ralph Mooney and drummer/right-hand man Richie Albright.

Coming off the genre-defining success of 1973's HONKY TONK HEROES, Waylon is at his roughest and rowdiest here. He comes charging out of the gate with a jolting, electrified version of Jimmie Rodgers' "T For Texas" and celebrates his infamy on the Willie Nelson-penned "Me and Paul." Preceding cowpunk by over a decade, he injects rock-influenced energy and rhythm into the country equation. Even such nods to western swing as "Bob Wills is Still the King" and "Big Ball in Cowtown" are full of the grit and fire synonymous with this golden period in Waylon's career.
