The 1001 Albums Challenge # 52: Waylon Jennings – “Honky Tonk Heroes”

Funny that I’d never heard this album because I’m a Waylon Jennings fan – and also, about 15-20 years ago I got pretty hooked on country and in particular the whole outlaw movement, of which this album is key. I also got right into Billy Joe Shaver’s works – as a writer, in particular – […]
