[.ca] The Essential Waylon Jennings

Amazon.com essential recording:
Drawn from Waylon's 20 restless years with RCA, we hear him constantly challenging and reinventing himself. Waylon understood simplicity, and heeded Buddy Holly's advice to master rhythm. Few more rhythmically adventurous country records were ever made. Rooted for the greater part in the '70s when Waylon was at his commercial and artistic peak, this 16-song collection includes classics like "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line," "Good Hearted Woman," "Waymore's Blues," "Just to Satisfy You," "Storms Never Last," and 11 others. It's hard to fault each song individually, save to say that most of them come from albums which deserve to be heard in their entirety. --Colin Escott

HELP:
I am looking for a tape that was made in, oh somewhere in the 80's. One of the songs was Lucille. One other one i remember was a song of all the titles of his greatest hits album. The song just rolled along that way. God i wish i could remember the rest of the songs on that album. It would bring back such fond memories. Thanks to anyone who can help with the name of the album or where i can get one. Anything would be helpful. Thanks, e-mail me a t ..., or ....com

A good CD for a long road travel:
A good Country album featuring a powerful voice with all the brilliant chrome of a Harley Davidson. Had he been born in another latitude, Waylon may have ended up singing classical opera. But is great he didn't. Country music would have missed a great singer. The Essential W.J. is great for listening during a long road travel with sentimental songs like Storms never last and the Wurlitzer Price along with and lighter, heavy rythm material like the Good Ol'Boys and Rainy Day woman.

Waylon:
Outlaw Country At Its Best A Man That Change The Game Of Country Music Forever A Legend Indeed A Must Own For Jennings Fans.

Half Essential:
The Essential Series by RCA, which this cd is a part of, rarely lives up to its title(The newer RCA Legends series, despite having fewer tracks, tends to do a better job). Like most Essential cd's, the first half of this cd is filled with great songs by a truly great artist. Many of the songs on the second half, however, have no business whatsoever being on a Waylon Jennings compilation, especially when there are countless Outlaw classics that could take their place.

Almost Perfect:
This is a pure, break-out-the-brown-whiskey, honky tonk collection. The only fallacy is that it lacks Luckenback, Texas. How any Waylon cd can neglect this and include What Ever Happened to the Blues is beyond me. Other than this, it's perfect.
