Waylon Jennings The Face Of The Outlaws From Music Historian Scott G Shea

Waylon Jennings. The face of the 1970s Outlaw Country Movement was barely known outside of Nashville when he took the stage at Max’s Kansas City in New York City in, the nightly hangout spot for avant-garde artist Andy Warhol and his Factory brood, in January 1973. This musical hotbed of the glam rock movement, which also helped launch the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Emmylou Harris and others, was the unlikeliest place for a country and western singer, but Waylon passed muster. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, music historian Scott G. Shea breaks down this legendary performance that lifted Waylon into the public consciousness, but perhaps more importantly, lays out the dozen or more years of trial, error and frustration Waylon went through to get to this point.
