Crash Course: Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings is more rock then most people realize. Waylon started out playing bass for Buddy Holly, thus cementing his rock/country status. Waylon is the man that gave his seat to Buddy on that ever tragic night. He was an amazing singer in his own right, and well worth listening too. I prefer his older music (mid 60's) he has a fantastic voice, and shouldn't be missed! Recommended: The House Song, Nashville Rebel, Green River, Silver Stallion (The Highwaymen), Something's Wrong in California


Waylon Jennings died of complications from diabetes on Febuary 13, 2002 at the age of 64

Guilty Pleasure!

Glen Campbell - It's Only Make Believe

One Tequila, Two Tequila

 Well...I'm a sucker for a catchy tune and Glen Campbell's cover version is enjoyable. If I could get over the embarrassment of buying this single track then maybe I will burn  it onto a CD. Nah. 

Vinyl Madness!

I picked this 7" single up recently after hearing it late one night listening to Last.FM. Included on the record are two songs "The Russians are Coming"  and a Buck Owen's cover of "Truck Drivin Man." Gram Parsons brings a bit of his style to the songs." Truck Drivin Man" doesn't stray too far from the original, but his version is more rock infused. "The Russians are Coming" is not inspiring me. Overall I'm pleased with my purchase. Check it out.
