Editorial Reviews

(6-CD LP-sized box set with 60-page hard cover book) This is the second volume of Waylon's pre-Outlaw recordings; this story begins in June 1968 & goes to 1972. Along the way he develops some of the pivotal personal & musical relationships of his life with Shel Silverstein, Billy Joe Shaver, Bobby Bare & his wife Jessi Colter - the set consists of 147 tracks and includes several complete early albums.

Here's another immense Bear Family Records Box Set; this one covers the early years of the great Waylon Jennings. This is the pre-"Outlaw" Waylon, before the hype and huge late-70's commercial success. There are 6 CD's here, all of them expertly mixed and with superb sound. While many of the songs included here are Cover songs, Waylon's take on them are as good or better than the originals. The first set of music is typical Waylon-style honkytonk, but is followed by Waylon's brief (thankfully) flirtation with Folk music. We are also introduced to Waylon's take on the Bakersfield Sound; the influences of Wynn Stewart are unmistakable. As with all of the Bear Family releases, there's a huge booklet (this one is actually hardcover, nearly the size of a large phot album) detailing Waylon's early recording career, with pictures from Buddy Holly and Faron Young, and even a young Jessi Colter. This one is well worth your money and will provide hours of listening pleasure. A+

Now this is a BOX set! It's actually the 2nd box set released by bear records in Germany on Waylon. More hopefully on the way. Each CD is PACKED with songs! You get extra Demos and Alternate versions as well. It's sad that a company from Germany is the only one that has the balls to put this out, along with the other box set (Detiny's child). America does everything Fast, Skimpy and cheap! That sound like a Waylon song almost....Fast, Skimpy and Cheap!
