Waylon Jennings Album: “Waymore's Blues, Part 2”

This is the best that country music has to offer, bar none. I've owned a tape of Waymore's Blues Part II for seveal years. It is as great today as it was when it first hit the market. It will remain so. You will be hard pressed to find any better. IMHO! These songs are so good it's almost scary. Too bad the radio stations didn't pick up on it as they should have. Maybe this Waylon Jennings was just too good for the air waves. Many people missed out on excellance.

Waymore's Blues takes you with it. It talks to you. It tells your story. It breaks your heart, lifts your spirits and moves your feet, body and soul.

Buy it. Now! Or you'll never know.

The Don Was produced Waymore's Blues (Part II) is easily the best Waylon album of recent years (although 1998's "Closing In on the Fire" was excellent and even "Right for the Time" was better than anything on country radio today). Among the outstanding tracks are "This Train (Russell's Song)", "Wild Ones", "Old Timer", "Nobody Knows (I'm Elvis)"--a pure rock and roll song if you'll ever hear one, and "Come Back and See Me". The final track "You Don't Mess Around With Me" was part of the soundtrack to the movie "Maverick".

This is more like it! Waylon's old sound comes through and lifts the spirit in Up in Arkansas, and he shows excitement and boastfulness with "Nobody Knows I'm Elvis". If you've been missing the real Waylon, this is the CD to buy!

Im a huge Waylon Fan, have been since Dukes of Hazzard reruns as a young boy. What I find alarming is the fact that this Album has almost disappeared, and the ones that are available are quite pricey....I ordered a used copy from a reputable dealer on Amazon that is using all proceeds to fund a library, so Im just gonna add it into my itunes, and lock the cd away for safe keepings. The Wild Ones alone is worth the purchase price, but from the very beginning, its like hes leaving it all on the table....he truly was a beacon for artists, like Cash, Haggard, Coe, Willie, and Jr. Long live Waylon, get whiskey bent and listen for maximum experience.

I have been an unwavering fan of country music since the late '40s and of Waylon Jennings since the mid-70's, when he rescued Willie Nelson from obscurity. I have purchased many of Waylon's albums and CDs, never finding one that I regretted buying. Of course, if you are one of his fans, you would never feel that he ever put out a bad album although, as with any other artist, you can find a number or two on any album that they could have left off, and that might be true even on this one. Maybe. But,the good stuff on this CD so far exceeds the best of any other artist's work that it can't even be described in words. Clearly, Waylon's best work and perhaps the best country and/or rock album ever recorded. No intent to rank the tracks individually, but I challenge you to find a piece of music to compare to "Come Back and See Me"
