Review
"Country music fans will relish Jennings' autobiography, which explores his early childhood, break with traditional country music, success in the field, and his eventual addictions. The result is a revealing account of Waylon Jennings' influences, heritage, and lasting contributions to the field of country music." -- Midwest Book Review
Waylon Jennings (June 15, 1937 ? February 13, 2002) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He pioneered the Outlaw Movement in country music.
Jennings started playing guitar at the age of eight and performed at age fourteen on KVOW radio, after which he formed his first band, The Texas Longhorns. Jennings left high school at age sixteen, determined to become a musician, and worked as a performer and DJ on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI, KLLL, in Coolidge, Arizona, and Phoenix. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings's first recording session, and hired him to play bass. Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight in 1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens.
