Let me know what else you want me to react to! I don't own this music Credit goes to Pat Fornies channel. Accessed 9/11/20 at • Waylon Jennings . Waym... .
I think it's funny at the beginning he's talking to Cowboy Jack Clement,on a tv show Jack had in the Nashville area in the 70's,When he asks if he wants to hear Waymore's Blues,Jack says he never heard it,lol.Cowboy Jack produced Waylon's Dreaming My Dreams album that the studio version of Waymore's Blues is on
Fun Fact waylon jennings is the prodigy of buddy holly and he was the bassist during his final shows buddy had chartered a plane waylon was supposed to be on it but gave his seat to the big bopper he made a song about buddy called “old friend” you should check it out
lol, the cig in the guitar, great! I believe the story goes Dick Trickle used to keep a cigarette pinched into the roll cage of his stock car while racing.
Waylon was womanizer until he kicked his 21 yr. drug habit in March 1984 with his beautiful wife( sitting beside him in this video) Jessi Colter as his strongest support. They were married from Oct. 1969 until his death from complications of diabetes on Feb. 13, 2002. IMO, he was the best male country singer ever. His rocking country and his ballads were superb. He interpreted lyrics better than anyone. His “Come With Me” brings chills every time I hear it.
I like the remix version that Shooter Jennings did with the .357's. I also like the original studio version. This one is good, too. I hadn't seen this before, so I was particularly interested in how that one particular verse was going to go over. That "Poetic License" bit made me grin. I also find it interesting that Shel Silverstein is connected to that song. Silverstein had a major presence in music, for a time, even if that presence was in the shadows. (He wrote a lot of songs that were performed by Dr. Hook. Also, he strongly encouraged David Alan Coe to record and release his X-rated album, which was something that Coe later regretted. Those songs were originally intended to be heard by his biker and musician buddies, and weren't supposed to be for public consumption.) I think that Waylon wrote a part 2 of this song, later.
Was Waylon a womanizer? Duh! Ya' think. LOL However, he and Jessi Coulter (the woman beside him in the video) were married for 32 years until his death in 2002. I don't think the song has any particular, cohesive meaning. It's just several disparate verses strung together. I imagine Waylon was fooling around with various ideas when he wrote it.
