Loved Waylon!!
He and Willie got me into the "Outlaw" scene.
Another who left us too soon. At least I saw him in person.
Happy I saw him before he left!
This is my fave song of his.

In Willie's autobiography both he and Waylon hated the term 'outlaw country' with a passion,
He says that term only came about because the pair of them were considered outsiders in Nashville because they didn't conform to what Nashville expected of country singers,

Well the phrase "Outlaw" and the look made them both alot of money and they used the phrase on one of their most popular albums (Wanted The Outlaws).
Out of the mouths of the "Outlaws" themselves.

Waylon did not really have anything against Nashville.
His office was on 16th avenue and his home was not far down the road from Nashville.
I've been to both.
Here is another song both he and Jr. did about Hank Sr. "the most wanted "outlaw" in the land".

Oh yes, The Conversation is the song me and Cathy did in a bar in the Smokies as I recall.
Correct me if I'm wrong Cathy.
We sang it quite often awhile back. She played the guitar as we sang.

They're not the only ones who mentioned the word outlaw in songs
even clean cut Marty Robbins sung about outlaws and he wouldn't be called an outlaw...

I never said Waylon or Willie hated Nashille,
I said that Nashville didn't embrace them because they didn't conform to what country music expected...
Willie also spent a lot of time in and around Nashville, there's even a Willie museum there now...

I didn't say you did C-H. I was only referring to something Waylon said on a interview with Bobby Bare about Nashville. It's on youtube.
Willie has his General Store close to Nashville. I know the woman who runs the store.
Anyway, I think we are just not understanding each other C-H but that's ok.
Depends on when we listen to Waylon what he was saying. We can't believe everything Waylon or Willie says.
It's not outlaw country. It's still country.
