I love Waylon,but he wasn't some "guitar God" basic & adequate,,and there are PLENTY of young players up & coming...check out Billy Strings,Brad Paisley and then keep talking your shit or maybe open your eyes & ears & mind and actually give new players artists a chance,, or just stay in the time warp yer stuck in..Doesn't matter to me,,I'm digging the Old Gold & The New Diamonds !

  • @halwright8081
    @halwright8081 Před 2 lety +22

    I've been trying to figure out how to describe something great about Waylon. Take this song, or any song with this much swagger. I like Rock & Roll, but most Rock artists will just play loud and try to sing over the top. I love the Blues, but most contemporary Blues artists can tear up the stage better than a Rock band (which isn't always a good thing). Even other great artists like Hank Jr. stray out of the lane when they run hot. Now, Waylon ... he could fire on all pistons and really drive a song home while keeping his performance right on track. When he switched up verses or dropped some it always seemed to work. Miss a lyric or a lick? No problem, just keep the rhythm moving. He didn't play solos identically every time, but he wasn't being sloppy, either. And though I could listen to him doing a ten minute jam, Waylon played enough. When a song finished I always wanted just a little more, but it was just right. I never ever got a headache listening to a Waylon concert (well, I turned my hearing aid off when I actually saw him live). When the sound crew had Waylon's mic and guitar volume balanced just right, like this concert, there was nothing better. I always loved his quote "This is no dress rehearsal. We are professionals and this is the big time." Those are some of the reasons I'll never tire of listening to Waylon, and to me he's in a league all his own. Man, do I miss the music world with him in it.

    Listening to him live. Oooh he was right. The sound is great. I sure wish I could find this Austin city limits video. Full version.

    He left out the verse:
    "Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
    Son of a car-hop and some all night dives
    Dad drove a stock car to an early death
    All I remember was a drunk man's breath"
    Got my first speeding ticket by a Houston motorcycle cop driving my parents '55 Olds 98 down Wayside drive!
