Probably few people, but it happened anyway. After his stint in the Crickets, Jennings formed his own band and gigged around Phoenix, until legendary guitarist Chet Atkins offered him a record deal. His rock-influenced, increasingly daring material slowly won converts in Nashville throughout the '60s and early '70s -- but his fortunes really changed after he and Nelson delivered the album Wanted: The Outlaws, in 1976. The disc, which also featured Jennings' wife Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser, was a million-selling success, and Waylon and Willie were the toast of Music City, scruffy beards, bandanas and all. Jennings and Nelson would pair up again on the 1978 album Waylon and Willie, and again on 1985's Highwaymen, which also featured Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. In recent years, Jennings has been cited as a major influence by a new group of young Nashville singers like Andy Griggs (with whom he dueted on Griggs' You Won't Ever Be Lonely album), and he's continued to add to his considerable legacy with powerful efforts like 1996's stripped-down Right for the Time. His latest, Closing in on the Fire, features high-profile cameos from artists like Sting and Sheryl Crow.     Waylon Jennings Burning Memories MP3 Alt-Country ‘Ol Waylon slips a bit of Outlaw bite into this textbook honkytonk lament – when he let’s that trademark baritone rip, you better believe it burns, baby… Waylon Jennings Closing In On The Fire WinMedia Alt-Country The last real outlaw puts the pretenders in their place on this down-home, down 'n dirty rocker.
