Garth Brookes couldn't hold a candle in any way to Waylon Jennings!

Garth Brooks was a manufactured pop star-- he represented everything Waylon hated about music. The big productions, the polished sound. When country music started going in that direction-- Waylon kept stripping his music back down. He always went against the grain and the fans loved it.

I'll always think of Garth Brooks as the pioneer of the Duche revolution in county music, and it continues to this day.

Garth is like tacobell to mexican food

Waylon Jennings is truly a legend in country music.

I've always felt like Garth was corporate creation made to appeal to the masses. Waylon came across as much more authentic person which made his songs have a real weight to them. Plus his voice is probably my favorite in country music along with Don Williams.

Waylon hands down. Like Ringo said "You got to pay your dues". Waylon did. Anyone who says, Garth over Waylon, loses all credibility in my book. Waylon is the man.

I met Waylon in the early 1980’s. He actually stopped and talked to a handful of fans waiting for him to cross the catwalk into the theater. The music was playing for him to go on stage. He didn’t care he still talked to us fans. A very warm personality. I’ll never forget that. Rip Waylon. It was the Holiday Star Theater in Merrillville, IN.

Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, my first exposure to country music was on Hee Haw... I fell in love with all the people on that show, not just because they were so happy, but, as a child, I could sense their genuine love, respect, & sincerity for one another...
My first experience with Waylon was his narration on The Dukes Of Hazzard...
One of a kind man with a one of a kind voice!
RIP, Mr. Jennings 🙏

“Three Chords and the Truth” is a book that has a lot to say about Garth and how he handled the business. Waylon Jennings was right. Waylon said what needed to be said. He’s the music LEGEND.

Garth started nothing revolutionary. Waylon is one of the fathers of outlaw music. Garth can’t be compared to the Legend.

Funny he mentioned him trying to cry. For decades I've said I've never seen a GB interview that he didn't cry in at some point 😅

One is a phony
One is the REAL DEAL

🤔 I don’t even have to say anything else.

Waylon is the gold standard for me in Country Music (or music rooted in Country, but influenced by multiple genres). He was an underrated guitarist with an absolutely original sound, and most importantly he had one of the greatest voices to ever grace a Country album. He could also walk out, pick up his guitar, start performing and simply own that stage. He was that good. But his talent was restrained by RCA and the "Nashville Sound" for years. When he got the contract he wanted and the creative control, he struck when the iron was hot, making music that was perfect for the younger audiences thirsting for music that was honest and raw. The "Outlaw" label was coined, and RCA milked it for all it was worth. By the time Garth came around Country had become more homogeneous again. Garth found huge success with a mainstream sound and big stage productions that Waylon found insincere. It was as much about the show as the music. Waylon wasn't one to hide his opinions, but that's okay. Garth has been gentlemanly about it. I truly believe that Waylon would be an independent artist today, not relying on a major label to market his music. He played by his own rules, and made incredible music. That's as real as it gets.

Garth is basically the Al Gore of country and western music.

I’ve always considered myself one of Waylon’s biggest fan
But after watching this I now consider myself his biggest fan
It’s like the man could see the future

[covertocoverbookreviews]

Waylon was the man, Garth doesn't even compare.

[davidgoff]

Started listening to Waylon as a teenager im now 63 and still listen to Waylon.

[hondamojo]

Chris Gaines is who Garth really wanted to be.
Country music genre just paid his bills.
Waylon knew there was no country in him.

[gmom]
