Jewels for the persons who had lived in the hot time From the viewpoint of outlaw beginners like me, some tunes are entertainment rather than spirit. I'm sorry for giving only 4 stars on this album. Backed by the same Waylors, however, it's not supposed to be that way that Willie sing alone with karaoke. What difference did it make between rock (except boring ones) and outlaws was the schedule of releases. It was too thick for them, hardest working men in country music, to create songs full of freshness and originality. I also enjoy the duet and the solo tunes, but they're less impressing than the tunes in their hungry and thirsty years.
Waylon&Willie
I had this on 8-Track many years ago and it is every bit as good now as it was then.
Outlaw Country
Just a fantastic album! One the the best ever! Enough said . If I had to pick 10 albums to take on that island way out in the wild blue yonder this would be one of the ten without question.
Waylon & Willie
I used to have this one on vinyl! Shipped quickly, no problems what so ever!. This was a great purchase, I'm very pleased.
If you wanna talk classics...
What makes an album a classic? Pure and simple greatness. Yep, this album is a classic. That, and it sold quite a few copies--but sales aside, this album's greatest gem is the pairing of two musical geniuses. Waylon Jennings, the guy who established the outlaw movement and made it what it was; and Willie Nelson, the guy who took songwriting to a whole new level, and showed us that less is more. Waymore and the Red-Headed Stranger. . . two musical icons.
Enough praise aside--you know how great and important these two men were to music. Let's look at the songs. If you've never heard "Mamma's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" (in any of its incantations, though this is the best), then you need to turn your radio on every once in a while. And you just haven't lived until you've heard these two lamenting on Kris Kristofferson's witty "Don't Cuss the Fiddle. " And "The Wurlitzer Prize," a Waylon solo effort, stands as one of the defining songs of country music.
Oh, there is much more to this album--but I'm gonna leave you with a few surprises. Whether they're dueting or going it alone, Waylon and Willie have crafted one of the single best albums ever made. WAYLON & WILLIE has withstood the test of time, and will continue to do so for generations to come.
