It’s such a joy to hear his honest voice, his integrity and his quintessential bad assness on this new record. What a great thing for posterity that these recordings exist and were finished by Robby Turner with such care and honor.\u201d\u00a0Kris Kristofferson, who toured alongside Jennings in the Highwaymen, added, \u201cThe pure beauty of Waylon’s voice – unlike any other I ever heard – has the powerful honesty and heart of the man himself. Like his outlaw companions Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, they broke the mold when they made him.

In all, 54 of Jennings\u2019 albums have charted and more than 100 singles cracked the country and pop charts. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.<\/p>\n
