Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?
Although that might be a title of one of his songs - Waylon Jennings never seemed to care to do things the way anyone else did - he had his own path. Waylon Jennings was a force to be reckoned with in country music and one of the (if not the most influential) driving forces behind what came to be known as "Outlaw Country". I love his music, always have. Check out these videos - betcha you end up loving it too.

As one of the original "outlaw" country music stars, Jennings (b. 1937) has done his best to live up to the image of the hard-living honky-tonker who doesn't take crap from anybody. With the help of writer and rock guitarist Kaye, an older, calmer, drug-free Jennings now relates his life story, from his childhood in a dirt-floored house in West Texas, through his busted marriages and hard-partying days, to his current existence as happily married man (to country star Jessi Colter) and member of the Highwaymen, the country music supergroup made up of Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. The narration reads as if Jennings is relating stories over a beer.
