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.

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®)
