Waylong and Shooter - A Nice Combination This release has only 8 songs, which is disappointing, and Waylon's voice isn't quite as strong as when he was younger (no surprise). As an old rocker, I'm not especially familiar with Waylong Jennings' work, but I'm a big fan of his son Shooter. However, Shooter's guitar work really makes the album for me. I enjoy it enough to listen to it two times over whenever I pop it in my cd player. I recommend it to those who like country rock.
Classic Waymore
I love it for that very reason. As another reviewer alluded, Waylon would probably enjoy any "controversy" from those who don't like their classics tampered with. Hearing the same "original" recordings on the radio over and over is tiresome; "reimaginings" such as this freshens up the material. Shooter did the old man proud on this project.
Waylon Forever? Indeed!!
My father was a big fan and had his records playing all the time. I have been listening to Waylon Jennings since I can remember. 30+ years later I'm still listening and turning my young daughters on to the greatest country/rock performer ever.
I was a little skeptical of the new record at first. Shooter would never do anything to taint his fathers sterling legacy, but still, when someone else is left to interpret and produce music that wasn't necessarily theirs, it leaves a lot of room for overkill.
I'm happy to say that this album is fantastic. A nice career cap for Waylon. He does some of his most rebelious songs and reworks a couple of classics. Any fan will be pleased with this collection. Many thanks to Shooter Jennings for making this album a tribute that captures the spirit of his father. Well done and highly recommended. .
Waylon Forever
It does remind me how much I miss him. Been a Waylon Fan since I was 13, and this release is a real treat for me. I would highly recommend adding this to your collection!

Waylon, Still touching us although his gone.
A promo for Nashville Rebel on the radio. I first heard Waylon in 1966. I had been high school DJ since 1959 and felt Rock and Roll had died with Acid Rock. Then I heard the promo!
Over the years I collected 85 Waylon LP's and 55 CD's. A month ago as I was driving down the road I heard "Outlaw SH**" from "Waylon Forever" and it sat me back on my heels in the very same way Nashville Rebel did in 66.
Well done Shooter. This is a fitting salute to Waylon's Talent and your own.
