Free Music Review: If you wanna talk classics...
Hit: 5 Stars
Yep, this album is a classic. What makes an album a classic? Pure and simple greatness. That, and it sold quite a few copies--but sales aside, this album's greatest gem is the pairing of two musical geniuses. Waylon Jennings, the guy who established the outlaw movement and made it what it was; and Willie Nelson, the guy who took songwriting to a whole new level, and showed us that less is more. Waymore and the Red-Headed Stranger...two musical icons.
Enough praise aside--you know how great and important these two men were to music. Let's look at the songs. If you've never heard "Mamma's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" (in any of its incantations, though this is the best), then you need to turn your radio on every once in a while. And you just haven't lived until you've heard these two lamenting on Kris Kristofferson's witty "Don't Cuss the Fiddle." And "The Wurlitzer Prize," a Waylon solo effort, stands as one of the defining songs of country music.
Oh, there is much more to this album--but I'm gonna leave you with a few surprises. Whether they're dueting or going it alone, Waylon and Willie have crafted one of the single best albums ever made. WAYLON & WILLIE has withstood the test of time, and will continue to do so for generations to come.
Waylon & Willie Poster
So what if this disc doesn't represent the best work of either man--the warm smiles and hugs that dominate the CD's artwork tell the real story. Released in early 1978, Waylon & Willie was a celebration of their triumphant revolution against Nashville's constraints. By then, the war had already been won; each had wrested artistic freedom from the labels and subsequently delivered chart-topping solo albums and singles. The 1976 compilation Wanted! The Outlaws proved to be the ultimate victory--becoming the first country album to go platinum--so by the time they put this album together, Waylon and Willie were at the peak of their commercial powers. There's plenty of great music here as well among the five duets and six solo tracks (three by each), mostly new tunes with some older material thrown in. Not all of it is essential, and Willie's own guitar is nowhere to be found, allowing Jennings's Waylors to deftly handle the musical accompaniment. Still, the cultural importance of Waylon & Willie--it soared to No. 1 on the country chart, stayed there for three months, and went double platinum--makes it a valuable memento of "outlaw" country's heyday and of modern country history. --Marc GreilsamerCountry Music CDs
