THE MAN DID IT HIS OWN WAY!
SOUNDS MUCH BETTER TODAY, BUT THE MUSIC IS TIMELESS. WHAT CAN I SAY? I HAD THIS ON 8 TRACK ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. I WAS A WAYLON FAN BACK WHEN HE DID "ONLY DADDY". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL WAYLON FANS. TO THE NON WAYLON FANS, YOU'RE JUST ONE PURCHASE AWAY FROM BECOMING ONE. EXTRA TRACKS ARE A REAL PLUS, TOO. GREAT MUSIC FROM A REAL TEXAS REBEL WITH A CAUSE.


The Start of Something Big
The title tune was the only chart hit on the album but "Pick Up The Tempo" and "Louisiana Woman" were part of his live show for years, and "Slow Movin' Outlaw" could have been his theme song. THIS TIME was an excellent album that pointed the way to bigger and better things for Waylon, The title tune "This Time" was the first Waylon tune to hit #1 on the Billboard Country charts ("The Taker hit #1 on the Cashbox charts in 1970). The five bonus cuts don't really fit the rest of the album as far as the general sound of the album, but I for one am glad to have them.

Three of the tracks are Waylon's tribute to his first producer and former boss Buddy Holly. Waylon's take on Holly's "That'll Be The Day" is very different from Holly's version in tempo and feel with Waylon having altered the lyrics slightly to make it more of a brag than the original. "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" again is a bit more resigned than Holly's recording. The third Holly track is a medley of "Well All Right" / "It's So Easy" / "Maybe Baby" / "Peggy Sue".

Great album

.


great album
he shows his stuff on this one and its so good when you blast the speakers like i do, it sounds even better. this is another must have by waylon. i cant listen to waylon inless its blasting away. thats how you gotta do it. the buddy holly songs are awsome aswell. buddy holly would be mighty proud. seems like he is in the songs.


A High Water Mark That Stands Today
But make no mistake, this all Waylon, singing real and modern western songs at a level that no one has reached since. This album is infused with Willie Nelson's sensibility , writing and production. Recorded in 1974, just before the "Outlaw" lable was to take hold, this album sets a high water mark that still has not been reached in today's recordings. The sound is pristine. The song selection is what really makes this a great recording. It miness modern western themes much like the early writing of Larry McMurtry. Each song is personal yet universal. Waylon's voice moves deeply and passionately thru the western terrains calling up old cowboy songs, coyote wilderness, and a lamentation for what has been lost. The singing can not be matched. The additional five CD recordings added to this compilation detract from the original album, coming from different recording periods and would have been better placed on recordings from those sessions. Still this is a five star collection.


Classic Waylon Jennings sound
No one can sing like this, and it stands to remind us how unique he really is among fellow artists. A classic album from Waylon. A great surprise are the tracks with Waylon and The Crickets, produced by rock and roll guitar legend Duane Eddy. I had heard about these for years, and now they finally surface. These are not alternate takes, as someone noted in an earlier review. These are the original versions, cut in 1974 at RCA studios in Hollywood. Unfortunately, the project was cut short and we are left with these five tracks, but we'll take 'em gladly. Buy this.
