By the early-to mid-’60s, Waylon was headlining a club called JD’s in Phoenix, putting out a sound that combined his "chicken-pickin’" Telecaster guitar style, his rough-edged, soulful vocal style and an eclectic repertoire that often borrowed from rock and rockabilly.

 Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings CD
Waylon Jennings spent the early '70s working his way up to this rough-and-tumble masterpiece, arguably the finest album of his prolific career.
Jennings was so taken with the songwriting of Nashville rowdy Billy Joe Shaver that he decided to record this all-Shaver album (with the exception of the Fritts/Seals-penned "You Asked Me To"), which helped put Shaver on the map as the poet laureate of the Outlaw set.
Jennings eschewed the lush countrypolitan sound in favor of a raw, electrified approach that owed more to the Rolling Stones than to Billy Sherrill.

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.

 Waylon Jennings
Robert Earl Keen provides one of the biggest departures from Waylon's version with "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way." The song opens with funky drums and a spoken voice-over, then he goes into the first verse over the drum beat before the blistering guitar licks kick in.
Given Waylon's history with Buddy Holly, it's a no brainer that The Crickets would come on board to pay their respects, and they give one terrific performance on "Waymore's Blues." But it's another old punker that ultimately steals the show on this disc though.
However overall, Lonesome, On'ry And Mean pays a more than respectable homage to the one and only Waylon Jennings, the artists that pay him his due are all renegades in their own way.
