Damn right love them

Anyone that don't love 'em is a heretik

Love them...

Me. Daily.

You probably lost your brain somewhere!!!!!!

The original Super Band!

Respect from holland

I totally agree...there will never again be another 4 like them again

Amen

L beck their are never dead in are hearts they carry on with music

yeah, these guys will live forever through their music, sure i'd give a lot to be there but hell listening to it on a computer or phone is a whole lot better then nothing.

I would give anything to go back in time and see them in concert together.

@@PipelineWifey I with my late husband Brian and daughter Suzanne see Johnny cash in the 70s at the nac stadium b,am it were great happy memories x

I remember watching this with my dad in 1993 . Unfortunately my dad is no longer with us but these guys put me at that happy place ❤️

Is the best

Can you imagine a song writing session with the likes of Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Billy Joe Shaver. Wow what crazy fun that must have been

Good one.

Someone should actually go make Mt. Countrymore with these four adorning it.

One of the truest and well said things ever on RU-vid. Or anywhere else! Well done!🎸

That's well said.

All of them are well known singer songwriters. It was interesting that they did not collaborate on a new piece, but covered the Guy Clark composition. That is a great tip of the hat to him.

The best there ever whrre

Probably not they were songs from the heart.

Amen

Me too !!!!!!

Robby Turner!!

👍🏻 yap 10000000%

I think it should be Man band

@@win1837 nope. God band

Ever listened to The traveling Wilburys now that’s one of the only boy bands I’ll listen to

@@simonmeredith2934 yeah. I like them.

To me this song is like red river valley in the sense that a redone version was better than the original. The highwaymens version of this song is better than guy clarks and Michael Martin Murphys red river valley is better than all the rest. In my opinion of course

Kayte 0207 Johnny they be back again and again and again and again

Kayte 0207 highwaymen

Real MEN.

Damn right my friend!

amen

Don't give up hope Bro, sometimes shit happens !!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so right!!!!! God bless them!!!!!

Don’t forget Kris

I do believe "Desperados ..." was written by Jerry Jeff Walker.

@@michaeloneill1763 written by Clark, first recorded by JJW

​@@michaeloneill1763it is a standard written by Clark.

Just did the same in 2020, was listening, reading through the comments thought id give you a bump if you havent listen to it in a while :)

Lucky you!

Same. I was watching Glenn Campbell..3 hours later still watching The Highwaymen 😊😍

Respect from holland

That's because their music is timeless young man. I'm almost 74 and I love their music also.

Aye

This 70 Yr old ( from Ireland) agrees

But Jesus Johnny’s too! They compliment each other so well

...and Waylon's voice is magnificent!!!!!! Together the four of them created the best version of this song, EVER! RIP Guy Clark, Waylon, John R

Page Ribe Waylon’s baritone is better than Elvis!

Waylon's gets to me the hardest but all amazing

@@pageribe9412 Guy Clarke gives it that edge!

It's the same way with me .

shit the hell total sexy... where the are these guys ? the lyrics are legend, the voices, my GOD! I am done with music, THis has ruined me

Great writer, but tbh not the best singer. I saw him last year in Amsterdam.

@@Jordyw1337 well he is getting old. He's a much better singer here and in almost every video I've ever heard him in than Willie and Willie seems to have gotten way more attention.

He's a damn great song writer and he should definitely get the kudos

KK is a genius.

Chill Dude ya

Chill Dude rhinestone suits and new flashy cars...I don't think Hank done it that way. I question if some of these new 'country' musicians have even listened to real country, outlaw country, and legends like these.

The day the last of the Legends we all watched as children dies will be the last of good old country music as we know it. as painful as that is, the next generation will craft their own legends. Willie, Waylon, Chris and Jonny will go down in history along with a few others. for their hard work and dedication to country music, Just as Elvis did with rock and role, and Ray did with Jazz. there will always be legends whos sound will live for ever. But each generation will craft their own new styles and follow their own choices. personally I would love to head up a tribute / cover group. I can sing like the HW-men, but Unfortunately I''m no guitar player. maybe I can just get a backing group ? I often say cover groups are never a scratch on the originals, especially legends like these guys. But soon its all we will have, Tribute acts and old MP3 copies, or we could get up to date and listen to modern music, I dont know any. I stopped listening to new stuff when the Spice girls started. "If you wanna be my" OFF SWITCH !!!! Part of the problem with the new generation of country singers is its hard to pitcher them facing the same stuff as the old ones. the wild west has tamed allot. if you take the boy named sue song, That would have been delt with in court and daddy would have been paying child care. the empty open planes are now crushed by tourists. listen to the voice over in the last cowboy song. hard to feel that much feeling and depth from some young lad or lass after they tweet about the weather and put a pitcher of their cat on facebook. their long travels of a few days by horseback are now about 3 hours in the comfort of a new car with air con. I don't mean to put these new guys down in any way. Just point out that they lead very different lives to their fathers and grandfathers. to point out that the hardships that Willie and co saw growing up will be very different to what our next gen kids are seeing. one last mention to Dan, I mean Elwood Blues. on one of the "Everybody" recordings he says that soon we will only be able to find good music in the CD collections of old libraries and we should just enjoy it while we still can. one day all these songs may fade into the darkness of the past. but while I still breath, I will still be playing them.

Doris day

How true, it will also be the day I draw my last breath.

It goes with the territory of this song. By the time Cash finishes it out you feel you have lived that tale well.

Derrick Murphy, I totally agree with you!!

Outlaw Shit....

Waylon was and always will be the greatest.

Waylon too m8

And Willie isn't bad either !!!

All great. Four legends. Glad to see some Kris fans, though. He doesn't get as much credit as the others for some reason.

I've never stopped listening these are the GOAT may 2024!!!!!!!

Kris is highly under rated. An amazing singer and song writer. Check out his version of perhaps the most famous song he's ever written... Me and Bobby McGee (made famous by his friend Janis Joplin )

+LaQuita Haynes I still remember the review of this album in Playboy when it came out, it contained the greatest line from an album review ever: "if Mount Rushmore could sing, this is what it would sound like."

Major Frost Thanks. I'd almost forgotten that review. I remember it now tho.

LaQuita Haynes amen these guys are amazing God bless willow and kris rip Johnny and Waylon

115 years together being on the road. When they first got together '85

Yes.

chalice3571, I agree! Isn't it as though Waylon's voice just kept getting better and better as he aged?

Yes indeed. Kris, Waylon and Willie are all from Texas. /CD

Cant believe Guy is gone

I agree! If not best band, best super group!

Good, but not the best. If talking about all super groups, Traveling Wilburys

Timo Miettinen Just checked em out! Really good as well! Cheers for mentioning them

They are not a band they where the greats from rebel rock and country Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson All had there own groups Call it a duet if you want

These guys taught the traveling wilburys

Irwanto Huang no way they where and are mount rushmore of country

Irwanto Huang , There will never be a group like this again because the country music I know and grew up with is more than likely gone forever, and if ever comes back as good as this I won't be around to hear it.
