Piece Description
Waylon Jennings became a country star doing it Nashville's way. But he became a legend doing things his way. In the early 1970s, his and fellow Texan Willie Nelson's successful fight for creative control of their records launched country?s Outlaw movement. From a career that began in 1958 with a single produced by rock icon Buddy Holly until his death in 2002, Waylon created edgy, timeless, straight-talking music like "This Time," "Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)" and "Good Hearted Woman" (with Willie). WAYLON JENNINGS: NASHVILLE REBEL looks back on Waylon's whole career - from the first Holly-produced single (Jole Blon), a tune from his early ?60s days in Phoenix (Stop the World), his early RCA hits, all the Outlaw masterpieces, and "I Do Believe" as part of the Highhwaymen. Host Cowboy Jack Clement tells the story with help from Waylon's wife Jessi Colter, musicians and collaborators Kris Kristofferson, and Richie Albright, and writers Lenny Kaye and Anthony DeCurtis. "He took his name to heart, and then made music from its foursquare beat, and listened to what his inner sense of the music was telling him, and chewed on his songs, because that's what he liked to do best, and let them live out his life, more than one chorus at a time." - Lenny Kaye

Waylon Jennings: Nashville Rebel
Radio script
Lenny Kaye: Waylon didn?t come to Nashville hoping to overturn things. He wanted to work in the system, he respected the system. He respected country music, he didn?t want to change it, he wanted to actually make it live up to its real-life values.
Jessi Colter: he was just always able to tell the truth, get an angle on it with humor, deliver it with strength, and I hate to use words that are a little off-color, but he knew how to kick it, he knew how to punch it.
Richie Albright: He knew exactly what he wanted to do, and alls he really wanted to do was have control of his music. That?s all it was ever about.
HOST: WAYLON JENNINGS IS ONE OF THOSE LARGER-THAN-LIFE ICONS IN AMERICAN CULTURE. HE?S THOUGHT OF AS AN ?OUTLAW,? SOMEONE WHO FOLLOWS HIS OWN WAY.
WELL, THAT?S TRUE, WAYLON DID FOLLOW HIS OWN PATH. HE WAS A GIFTED SONG...
