It's the last stop on our road to The Highwaymen with Waylon Jennings! He's an icon of Outlaw Country, and his 1973 record Honky Tonk Heroes combines his diverse musical influences and Billy Joe Shaver's modern cowboy songwriting into a consistent, ramblin' experience. From his humble DJ beginnings to his near brush with the Day The Music Died, we'll uncover how Waylon (not Wayland) became a staple of the Nashville country scene. We'll talk about hits like Black Rose and We Had It All, reminisce about Five & Dimes, and more. The Mixtaper will teach us about an indoor motorcycle, a Big Bird mishap, and a high-stakes Presidential(ish) Mix-Up. Enjoy the album and the episode, and remember.. if it was here, it ain't here no more!
