Waylon Jennings was an American country singer, born on June 15, 1937 in Littlefield, Texas. He began playing guitar at a young age and made his first radio performance at twelve years old. Determined to pursue a career in music, Jennings left high school at sixteen and worked as a performer and DJ in various locations. In 1958, he had his first recording session arranged by Buddy Holly and joined him as a bass player. However, he gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight that tragically took the lives of Holly and other musicians.
Jennings went on to form The Waylors, a rockabilly club band that gained popularity as the house band at "JD's" in Scottsdale, Arizona. After recording for several indie labels, he found success when he signed with RCA Victor. His career reached new heights with the release of the critically acclaimed album "Honky Tonk Heroes," which showcased his collaboration with Billy Joe Shaver.
In the 1970s, Jennings played a pivotal role in establishing outlaw country music alongside Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and his wife Jessi Colter. Together they recorded country music's first platinum album titled "[m=203366]." In the 1980s, Jennings became part of another supergroup called The Highwaymen along with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash.

Three original Waylon Jennings albums from 1969 and 1970 on a 2CD set. The Kimberlys were a Las Vegas folk four-piece that Waylon encouraged RCA to sign. They comprised two brothers, Carl and Harold, married to two sisters, Vera and Verna.

The album was a #13 chart success and produced a Grammy award-winning hit single for ‘MacArthur Park’, a powerful Jimmy Webb song which had first become an international hit when recorded by actor Richard Harris.

Anita Carter, a great country voice in her own right, joins Waylon on three tracks in this package, two on Just To Satisfy You and one on Waylon, the eponymous 1970 album.

One of the finest country singers of all time, Waylon Jennings ranked No. 7 in Rolling Stone magazine’s poll of 100 Greatest Country Artists. In a 37-year recording career, he achieved 100 country chart singles and 60 chart albums. Along the way, he led the “Outlaw” music movement of the mid-1970s together with Willie Nelson and Tompall Glaser. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and died of diabetes on 13th February 2002 aged 64.
