Synopsis

Album Description
Legends is a 3 CD set comprised of 50 total tracks. If any one performer personified the outlaw country movement of the '70s, it was Waylon Jennings. Though he had been a professional musician since the late '50s, it wasn't until the '70s that Waylon, with his imposing baritone and stripped-down, updated honky-tonk, became a superstar. Jennings rejected the conventions of Nashville, refusing to record with the industry's legions of studio musicians and insisting that his music never resemble the string-laden, pop-inflected sounds that were coming out of Nashville in the '60s and '70s. Many artists, including Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, followed Waylon's anti-Nashville stance and eventually the whole outlaw movement, so-named because of the artists' ragged, maverick image and their independence from Nashville became one of the most significant country forces of the '70s, helping the genre adhere to its hardcore honky-tonk roots. BMG. 2006.

Excellent compilation, great deal

"This is a rock solid collection of Waylon's music. I'm somewhat new to his music and listening to all 3 of the CDs has been a pleasure. If you like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Roger Miller, or Bob Wills you'll love this."
