Free Music Review: Four albums from the eighties
Hit: 5 Stars
Waylon's legacy ultimately rests with the music he recorded for RCA, particularly his peak years of the mid-seventies, but fans should not overlook his four albums for MCA - Will the wolf survive, Hanging tough, A man called Hoss and Full circle - all presented here in their entirety. As if that were not enough, there are a couple of bonus tracks including a duet with Johnny Cash, Even cowgirls get the blues, which appeared on a duet album (Heroes) that they recorded for the Columbia label.
Highlights include Rose in Paradise (a country number one hit) and Baker Street (a cover of the Gerry Rafferty classic), but perhaps the most interesting aspect of this collection is the third of the four albums, A man called Hoss. Legend has it that Waylon thought about writing his autobiography but that doing it properly would bring libel actions by several people (although he eventually wrote that book before he died). He therefore decided (at the time) to do a musical audio-biography instead, hence the album. Of course, an album can never explore the depths that a book can but it is still fascinating.
Some of the music has a definite eighties feel to it but Waylon's fan should still find plenty to enjoy here. Nevertheless, anybody just starting to collect Waylon's music should begin with his seventies music before worrying about this.
For Waylon's fans, this easily justifies five stars.
