From his earliest recordings to his posthumously released albums,
the haunting baritone of Waylon Jennings marked him as an
extraordinarily individualistic country music artist. This
biography by the late R. Serge Denisoff, first published in 1983,
recounts Waylon's west Texas upbringing, his introduction to music
as a radio announcer at thirteen years old, his tutelage by rock
star Buddy Holly, and his eventual stellar yet stormy music career.
Where the original 1983 biography ends, music scholar Travis
Stimeling picks up with the waning years of Waylon's recording and
performing. Stimeling recounts in the new afterword Waylon's
continued musical success in the early 1980s-though his financial
troubles and battle with drugs and alcohol would soon cost him both
professionally and personally-his triumphant and sober return in
the 1990s and collaboration with longtime recording artists in the
industry, and his continued musical relevance in an evolving
industry driven by Nashville's urban popularization of country
music. Additionally, series editor Ted Olson, in his foreword,
touches on Waylon's legacy and the continued influence of his
outlaw style of country music. Fans of Waylon, country music, and
the Nashville music scene are sure to find this second edition of
R. Serge Denisoff's classic biography a welcome addition to the
publications on the father of outlaw country.
