5.0 out of 5 stars True Outlaw Waylon!, September 11, 2003

By	mike (suffolk,va.) - See all my reviews

As i have about every studio release of Waylon's music in one format or another,I consider myself an authority on his music.Waylon single handedly changed my opinion on country music,that it's not music for old people or hillbillies.American music is a better definition for what country is.And Waylon showed us that rough and rowdy folks are country too.I've owned this title since it's original two albums were released.Two perfect examples of the Waylon sound,when he was in the prime of his best known "outlaw sound".What a great thing to hear them on cd!! the tracks "It's alright","clyde","Nashville Women",and "Shine" were some of his best work.It's been a long time since this music was available,now it's better than ever for a new generation to enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Two early eighties albums, May 16, 2005

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Some Waylon fans don't like these albums at all but while I agree that they don't match the brilliance of his best seventies music, they nevertheless have much to offer and I'm pleased that they were released on CD.

The two big hits here are, of course, the Dukes of Hazzard theme and the re-recording (with Willie Nelson) of Just to satisfy you. Elsewhere, there are fine covers of Clyde ( J J Cale), Sweet music man (Kenny Rogers), Honky tonk blues (Hank Williams), Folsom prison blues (Johnny Cash) and Song for the life (Rodney Crowell). Among the other songs here, Waylon expresses frustrations shared by many men in Women do know how to carry on, but he was a brave man to record such a song.

Buy Waylon's seventies music, much of which has also been released on CD, first. If you enjoy that, you will probably enjoy this twofer also.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but..., August 10, 2003

By	Lawyer Man "rolfb8" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I ordered this cd because I hadn't heard these albums in years. I'm glad I did, since there are a number of songs that I enjoy. That being said, however, I would certainly first recommend any of Waylon's music from the late 60's to around 1976. This cd is truly a hit-and-miss affair, and unfortunately the misses slightly outnumber the hits. Among the things coming out since his recent death, the expanded Live cd is essential. "Music Man/Black on Black" is fine, but if you don't already have plenty of Waylon in your collection, you should start someplace else, like "Honky Tonk Heroes," "This Time," or "Dreaming My Dreams."
