Customer Reviews

Waylon - when he was the greatest
After reading of Waylon Jenning's all too early death this morning, I will spend the evening listening to some of his very best albums. On this cd thay have gathered three great albums from the early seventies. Two of them, "Honky Tonk Heroes" and "Dreaming My Dreams", are his very best ever. These records are the essence of the country outlaw sound. Hard country with minimal, bone dry arrangements that fit the songs and serve Waylon's expressive voice equally well. And what songs he sang! His buddy Billy Joe Shaver wrote almost all the songs on "Honky Tonk Heroes" and together they brought country back to the roots: storytelling, realism and harsh poetry in the spirit of Hank Williams. "Ramblin' Man" is also a wonderful record but this cd would have been even better if the third choice were "This Time" or "Lonesome On'ry And Mean". But this is certainly an excellent package anyhow, giving us Waylon from a period (1972-1976) when he was simply the greatest country singer living. And now, sadly he is dead. Ride him down easy Lord.

Why we love Waylon's music
These 3 albums are a perfect example of how great Waylon's music is. They have plenty of "Hits" cd's out there, but if you wanna hear great music, start here. There's so much most haven't heard before. Give a listen to "Low Down Freedom", "Omaha", "Cloudy Days", "Okalahoma Sunshine", "Memories Of You And I", "Got Alot Going For Me", "High Time", "I've Been A Long Time Leaving". Grab this, or the individual releases, you'll be glad you did. One note of caution though, this will lead to the purchase of other cd's.
