Live From Austin, TX '89

This performance by Waylon Jennings was no April Fool's joke. This was the "new" Waylon, both personally and professionally. He had kicked a 20-year drug habit, split with RCA and signed a new deal with MCA Records. He discovered a passion for songwriting, teamed with legendary producer Jimmy Bowen, and produced some of the best work of his 30-year-plus career. He credited his wife and soul mate, Jessie Colter, for much of his inspiration. This was Waylon's second trip to the ACL stage, but the one that best captures the raw edge and driving urgency that pushed country music way past its Nashville boundaries starting in the mid-1970's. He was described as the leader of the country "Outlaw" movement, which he often dismissed as just another marketing scam, but there's no denying that he turned the music on its head and took it way beyond its rural southern roots. This West Texas boy who worked as a DJ and started his own band at 14, then later played with Buddy Holly, left an indelible mark on the music he loved. He was a class act, this man called Hoss. -Terry Lickona (Producer Austin City Limits) 180g black vinyl 2-LP, gatefold Live from Austin, TX: Waylon Jennings by Waylon Jennings TRACKLIST: Side A - I'm A Ramblin' Man Rainy Day Woman America I May Be Used (But Baby I Ain't Used Up) Amanda Me And Bobby McGee Side B - Trouble Man Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Good Ol' Boys (Theme from Dukes of Hazard) Bob Willis Is Still The King Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way Suspicious Minds Honky Tonk Angels Side C - Good Hearted Woman I've Always Been Crazy Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love) I Ain't Living Long Like This Recorded April 1, 1989 * Note: Product images may vary slightly from actual product.
