Waylon Jennings was outlaw country personified. In the mid-'70s he wrapped his burly voice around a rough 'n' ready mix of hard-living honky-tonk and raw-boned rock 'n' roll—sporting a hirsute bad-boy look that was more Jim Morrison than Jim Reeves—and turned country upside down. Whether he was pounding out a hardscrabble mission statement like “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way” or plumbing the depths of a midlife crisis on the heartrending “Amanda”, Waylon invested every moment with the unhurried authority of a man with plenty to say but nothing to prove.
