Waylon Jennings Autobiography with photos 3 of 3 

Not only a great singer, but a beautiful story teller too

Jessie was one hell of a woman!! Thank You Jessie for saving Waylon life!! R.I P. Waylon, we still love and miss you!

These 3 parts were beautiful. Almost 3 hours of Waylon Jennings recounting his own life. What a treat!

As a teenager, I played the hell outta that "Outlaws" album and Willie's "Red headed Stranger". I was hooked on their sound forever. Waylon was a great singer and songwriter, much underrated.

I remember listening to this to go to sleep in my 18 wheeler at a truck stop in Mountain Home Idaho. When he said he didn’t like “luckenbach”, I yelled “you gotta be shitting me”!, and I sat up when I said it and banged my head. I remember the first time I heard Waylon, during a high school class with someone pulled into the parking lot playing that song and I was instantly a fan.

Thank you Waylon for everything you have done. I know you have done passed on . I still listen to your music every chance I get. I will always miss your singing a song .

Only one thing that makes this great biography better than it already is. Is the fact Waylon is telling it

This man's story changed my life. How can someone I never met have such a profound effect on me? His story gave me hope, that in the end all addicts are the same. God bless you Waylon, music and the world lost a really good man.

What a privilege and a treat, I myself consider Waylon my inspiration for writing songs, just listening to this, I can almost hear his next line, while Daisy's down at the town getting her nails done bow and Duke went over to check on work on Boss Hog LOL God I miss that.

Waylon you been gone many, many years an your music is still being played on radio❣️ Yes your Legend an still loved Thank You

He was a Brilliant Man loved him in later life. Have gone through hards times Myself

A better singer has never existed and never will Waylon is the greatest singer of all time and he didn't give a fuck what anyone thought and he never backed down from his music

Changing lives from beyond the grave. God bless you brother

My dad bought us a record player ..and albums of Waylon ..we were just kids .My dad loved Waylon ..

Wow that was amazing hearing it right from Waylon himself. Shooter you sure are a Blessing and your parents Love Child as he called you.

Brilliant singer. Human Being

I tear up when he talks about the little blind girl touching his face..........

STILL missed. God Bless you, Waylon.

Waylon was an honest man! love listening to his music, however, I enjoyed this narration of his life.

This man is helping me get sober. I kicked the arse out it, he did it far better, but if he can, i can

He was a genius. Mozart, Fredrick Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Jennings. You can't name a greater musical genius.

This was so damn good. As a recovering addict, the parts about getting clean were just so incredible. He was such an amazing storyteller. Thanks for everything, Waylon. We miss you.

I have truly enjoyed this... NOW I have to go out and find his book. I always liked him .... NOW I love the story... YOU can learn a lot from someones story. Thank you for posting and thank you Waylon for being honest!

I just don't know what to say about waylon. He has always been my greatest singer. I never knew all this info about him. I am so glad he rejected the drugs toward the end of his life. I wish I could have heard this back in 2000. My son was hooked on drugs, cocaine and I don't know what else. He died March 24, 2005. No autopsy. I found him lying on the couch and his son playing video games and didn't even know his dad was dead. We just assumed it was drugs. During that time, his son had seen him and his mom doing the sniffing of cocaine. I don't know what else he saw. But here it is April 2022 and I am hurting so bad because his son OD on Sept 17 2021. He was just 24. I just don't how to live with all this. I think about them all the time. I'm hoping that whoever reads this, will quit before the children get involved in it. My son left a son and daughter. My grandson left a daughter that I don't get to see often. If you know anyone like this pray for them to get help, and pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will forgive them. It really hurts. Thanks to Jessie for helping and praying for Waylon. He still is my favorite singer. I still love him and Jessie. I'm just hurting and not a day goes by without me thinking that I wish I could have helped. Quit the drugs and turn to Jesus before it's too late.

Love him more Today.xxxx RIP

Waylon's wife was one of those women who made me realize what all the fuss about girls was among my older brother and his friends . That woman was staggeringly hot. Country music to me was Chet Atkins , Jim Reeves , Don Williams and the people who appeared on Hee Haw. Like lots of people I discovered Waylon on the Dukes of Hazzard. But once I got my hands on the albums I realized he was different than anyone else in the business. He was cool.

"Don't Fuck with me was what we was trying to say" hell yeah Waylon!

I love Waylon Jennings I didn't know that he went through all that stuff before he passed God bless him thank you Bill

I WOULD have loved to meet this amazing singer song writer. I have read his great book about his life. He could sing and he sang his songs that you believed he must have lived everyone of them. I have been lucky enough to find the few movies he played in. I absolutely loved this man & his music and I am 75 yrs. young He will always be one of the greatest singers, & song writers in my lifetime. REST IN PIECE WAYLON, I will listen to your music forever.

this man has brought me back from the brink time and time again

He was a hero to me and my father i just wish he was still around so we wouldnt have to deal with todays country i love ole outlaw music

wow wat a story i cant believe nobody has turned this into a movie

I had the GREAT privilege to meet this man I’m Printers Alley Nashville tenn omg what a man I miss his music BUT I MISS THE MAN GOD BLESS RICHIE ALLBRITE I love you man your still the worlds greatest Dummer love you man

Waylon Jennings is a freaking legend. There's no doubt in my mind that this outlaw made it to Heaven. God works through us all.

Thanks so much for posting this. I was going to listen for a few minutes to hear what Waylon had to say lol Three hours later...

This video was wonderful. Thank you so much for posting it.

I have this whole audio book ( and the actual book) and it is amazing!!! Waylon's passing was so under appreciated by Nashville's Brass. They still don't want to admit that he was right or that he changed the power structure. ( at least before the new crap took over)

Graduated from high school with Doug Sahm; when our choir teacher would leave the room he would hit the piano!!!

I was a huge Waylon fan from the time of his first album Nashville rebel until the "Outlaw's " album. But unforetunately when I saw him live in Sugarloaf Maine his onstage behavior was so appauling it changed my impression of him. 30,000 people "booing him" so I wasn't the only one who was disappointed. That 's why I still respected Johnny Cash , who was also a drug addict BUT CASH NEVER GLORIFIED IT like Waylon did. Sure in his last years he did his best to back track and as such I "foregave" him. But every story has two sides and the Nashville brass have good memories and a lot of young people died trying to emulate Waylon and that NEVER GETS PUBLISHED...not to mention the fact that he ALMOST ALWAYS refused to sign autographs stating " that's not part of my job".

I'm back You Tube for a little while , I am enjoying seeing and hearing my man the outlaw Waylon Jennings.I don't give a damn who says anything bad about my man everyone we are not perfect but our Lord and savior is. We all make mistakes some good some bad , I know I did and now I have no family left my dad is gone my mom is gone., my grandparents are on both sides and now my aunt , my uncle, and my one cousin is gone. I feel so heart 💔 no family during the holidays are coming up IAM so lost now I can't believe it.

will never be beat take his songs with me to the end

Thank you for sharing this. He was one hell of a man.

Elvis should have taken a move like that for himself. He wouldn’t have gotten so cheated if he had. By the mid 70s I think Elvis knew he was so sick and he wouldn’t take time to get the surgeries he needed to help his health. He knew he had 4 uncles and a mother who all died in their 40s. No one knew but Elvis wore those glasses for his eyes. He almost lost his eye sight so close that he had to have a eye doc come give him a shot in his direct eye ball everyday at the same time. They used to stop a recording session and lay him down on the floor and the guys held onto him at his direction while the eye doctor gave him the shot. He had glaucoma and there was not much they could go but give him the shots. He needed the surgery on his colon but back then they couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t have to wear a bag the rest of his life. They just didn’t have a good out cone at the time. He had heart issues and I can’t even remember all the stuff. But if he had taken a step back and start over he might have survived better.

Waylon Jennings aka hoss my hero.

i was there in dripping springs for that first one

WJ - was a straight-up Bad-Ass! He was an outlaw, hell-raising, hillbilly cat. The man was real. RIP Mr. Jennings ~

My oh my how Nashville has changed today wish he was still around !! 👍🤠

I still miss that man qq

Waylon Jennings and I were from Littlefield Texas . But when I was growing up there never seen him.

R.I.P. Waylon.

Love hearing waymore Story. He was Greatest country singer

38:15 I love it. Jessi says "Lord, watch Over Old Waylon, cause He's so Dumb."

One of a kind.

It's sad, these days Nashville doesn't want real talent, they want someone with looks they can commercialize. The cool thing is the children and grandchildren of Waylon, Willie, Hank and Merle are super talented even though you don't hear them on the radio they are worth checking out if you're truly into good music.

That's a truly bad ass mother right there. "Don't fuck with us".

addicts can learn from this story! the wolf can survive!

Waylon is the best narrator this world has ever known!

couldn't have said it better Tommy Peterson!

What a great story. Absolutely love it. Looking for the other parts to listen to. Oh Waylon and Jessi were like Johnny and June in love real love and it only comes once in a life time

Willie wearing those silly ass head bands 🤣He is the last one standing, too bad the others are long gone. They were really part of a much needed change and we are al lucky for that part of history.

Loved him with Knofler,doing that Buddy Holly number. I think Holly would have been 'over the moon' with It!!!

a true outlaw hero

It’s a funny thing ....so many successful entertainers end up flat broke. The people they put in charge of they’re affairs robbed them blind.

Love waylons music and this recounting etc. However, its amazing how his voice changed. I heard his live album the other day and when he would talk and sing it was so deep. Then, seemingly sometime after 1980 or so. His voice went higher and sounded like a person that had trouble breathing or something.

Great story love

I been there!!

Thanks for sharing.....

If your a addict get the book by Mike Lindell that tells you how to survive being a addict? He wrote a book about how he did it and he has a drug place that’s free for all addicts.

He was great

Sounds like Hard-Luck? Rest in peace Waylon.

Does his book talk about his mom ,dad ,brothers and sisters.

damn that was good.

ohellyes...Waylon!

36:20 a girl could learn a lot.

36 people lost in the twilight zone

Waylon, Willie johnny cash and the country singers of their time that was real country that will never be matched or relived in our time! The so called country you hear today all sounds the same and all ducks the same! Along with their air traffic control microphone headsets how lame ! I can't listen to that new shit why do they play it on the radio how about some real country like Willie, Waylon and the boys!

There will never be another. Tho many of these new singers are trying. Be they will never match up with WGDJ.

why does his voice sound so. familiar. Where have i have i heard it.

Cains Ballroom Here in Tulsa Oklahoma my home. Yee Haw

Awl yup

Good morning 🙏 🌄 sweetheart ❤ dove 🕊 feathers 🪶

Willie will never be rich..lol You got that one wrong Hoss. Willie has more money and property than he can count. I have many Waylon guitar picks and many Waylon back stage passes. I miss Waylon. Billie Joe shaver should have been part of the Wanted The Outlaws. Cocaine is a helluva drug. Good thing for me I realized I could never afford that habit. The first time my bank account was empty and i owed every one money I got that straw out of my brain. I couldn't imagine if i had the money to do what ever I wanted to.

Or that the alcohol was what was killing you man I miss the hell outa you man I wish someone would have told you alcohol is sugar 😕 absolutely 💯 my favorite person after my mom 👩

See,this is what I don't get. Pills are drugs,but medicine is good?

Honestly, I wrote best pieces of music on drugs! Now that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a price, but some songs are definitely gonna cost you!

PM L

Man...I really need a toot now.. Gonna go blow my brains out!

country music? what country music? that died a long time ago. luckily we have a few like Jackson Taylor, Chris Stapleton carrying on the old school sound. hopefully we get back to country and get off this pop rock crap.

Nashville has reaper just what it soyed

Waylon was an honest man! love listening to his music, however, I enjoyed this narration of his life.
