WAYLON JENNINGS - CMT INSIDE FAME (2001 Edit)

The original 2001 edit for the Waylon Jennings CMT Inside Fame episode. This is how it was re-broadcast on the day Waylon passed away Feb 13, 2002. Subsequent broadcasts were slightly modified to make reference of his death.

It's 2024, 22 years since he's been gone, people are still listening to his music, watching videos about him, interested in details of his life and talking about his contributions to the world of music. I'd say those are some pretty legendary achievements. I'm sure that would be something that would make him proud. Imagine being gifted with that sort of talent. What a great life he lived doing what he was born to do.

The best country music artist ever, always loved Waylon Jennings.

[miket.]

I got to see Waylon perform at Lollapalooza '95. He was sandwiched between the bands Rancid and The Ramones, playing for a crowd of alt-rock twenty-somethings. Waylon's first song went ok with the crowd, then he did "Always Been Crazy", crowd warmed up a little more. Then he did "Good Ol' Boys", and the crowd went bananas. Crowdsurfing, you name it. Waylon said to the crowd at the end of his set, "I hope ya'll enjoyed yourselves, I don't know if ya'll know what to make of me, but I thank you for listening just the same." What a legend.

Jennings and Cash....two very distinctive voices and talents that will Never be duplicated of forgotten !

[shanewoods]

If you wanted an outlaw, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted TRUE country songwriting, you got it with Waylon. If you wanted a very talented singer and entertainer, you got it with Waylon. How many more boxes need to be checked? He’s the TRUE American country music outlaw that sang about what he knew and I’ll forever be grateful for this gentleman. Hats off to you hoss

[tazman]

If there is king of country music legend he the king of country music i love his voice and i still do nobody will ever have a voice like him
Waylon could have sang rocknroll .and he was just as good as anyone who knows how to play guitar player he new how to play like the time Johnny cash needed a guitar player and some how Johnny cash told waylon you don't know who he could guitar player waylon said i know one Johnny cash said who he said me he said waylon i can't get you do that waylon would not be in the spot light but that didn't make anny different to him he played for Johnny cash said one thing he never for got that
So there a friend waylon Jennings johnny cash and willie Nelson. See waylon told what was on his mind if nobody like it that was there problem he was a honest man and told the truth about him self .jessic was the person for him i think waylon would have died if it was not for her thay were ment for each other i listen to waylon Jennings pretty well every day and willie Nelson hank Williams jr merle haggard i guess i just one of the country boy that i always listen to theos bad ass country music legends of country music not the tractor rap pop garbage that on country radio station today. I dont give a dam if i hurt people feeling of what on country radio station today Nashville CMA don't know nothing about real country music to day just plain garbage and i really don't care who a country singer .whst i say about the pop music it not country music may 6 2021.by the way happy mother's day sunday.happy mother day to jessie colter Jennings enjoy your day.

[DarkSkies]

He’s got the best voice there ever was in country music! Just unreal and it’s still true in 2022.

[dishrod]

The coolest cat ever in country music.

[williampoff]

The Man!! He taught boys of the 70s that were the teens of the 80s how to be SOUTHERN MEN!! His sound was a COUNTRY MANS SOUND!! God bless you Waylon, till we meet at Jesus's Feet. You made it right with Him at the end. Thank God. And thank you Waylon🤠

[davidterry]

Waylon was the original outlaw artist. His style was pure, raw, and had never been heard or seen in country music. He paved the way for today's country and rock artists. A true rock star and hell raiser . Thank you Mr. Jennings for the entertainment and hard working ways.

[slabbusterrtr]

This is country music from a true legend never be another Waylon

[gearhead]

He passed feb 13th 2002 of complications from type 2 diabetes, i discovered him watching the dukes on friday nights, the theme song caught my ear and yelled yeehah when i heard the song, Rest in eternal peace waylon, your music will live beyond forever

[markgilpin]

When Waylon Jennings passed away I cried so much I will never forget that moment God bless you and your never forget something like that if you do you ant got one country bone

[mpf]

My Dad still talks about seeing Waylon in Coolidge AZ at the Galloping Goose bar and of course JD’s 🤟🏼✌🏼

[lilliekeefer]

I loved Waylon. I would go see him when he would come to the Bay Area. Almost got to shake his hand at a concert at the circle Star in San Carlos California. The closest I ever got to him. I still love Waylon. I put my little dog Sophie in the car and travel 200 miles and I got Waylon singing and playing to me. Alway love Waylon. One of my sons went to his grave and got a picture and sent it to me. Now That son can play like Waylon. But he is shy so I don’t get to here him much.

[brockmiller]

You know, I took Waylon's passing harder than Cash's. That kinda let me know how much his music meant to me growing up. I can hear a song like Amanda or Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys and be transported to a rodeo my dad would be roping at when I was just a short little fart. The sounds and smells all come back in an instant. That's powerful medicine.
