Buck Norris sings the Waylon and Willie classic called "Luckenbach Texas".
Waylon Jennings was born in the hardscrabble West Texas town of Littlefield on June 15, 1937. He learned to play guitar and snagged a disc jockey job at a Littlefield station while still a boy. In 1958 he moved to Lubbock, where he worked as a DJ and met rising star Buddy Holly, with whom he toured and played electric bass during 1958 and 1959. It was Jennings who gave up his seat to the Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) on the doomed 1959 plane flight that took the lives of Holly, Richardson, and singer Ritchie Valens.
The disaster stunned Jennings and it took him several years to regain his momentum. But his time with Holly had been pivotal: "Mainly what I learned from Buddy," Jennings recalled, "was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it." After working West Tex
as radio again, Jennings began performing at a bar called J. D.'s in Phoenix, Ariz. There he began to craft a sound that combined his aggressive Telecaster electric guitar style, his rough-edged vocals, and an eclectic repertoire that often borrowed from rockabilly, rock and folk. And it was there
that Nashville-based Bobby Bare, then a country hitmaker for RCA Records, heard Jennings and immediately called RCA producer Chet Atkins. Although Jennings had already recorded some country-folk sides for A &M Records in Los Angeles, A&M agreed to let Atkins sign him, and his first RCA session took place in March 1965. Over the next five years, Jennings won mainstream country stardom with hits like "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line," "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" and "The Taker." Though it wasn't typical of his work, his rendition of "MacArthur Park" (recorded with the Kimberlys), won a 1969 Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group.
Despite his achievements, the high-spirited Jennings chafed under Nashville's typical production process, in which salaried staff producers chose song material and session musicians and recorded artists in company studios. Gradually he won the right to choose his own songs, producers, and sidemen
(often his road band), in the process turning out albums like 1973's Lonesome, On'ry and Mean and Honky Tonk Heroes, which showcased the hard-hitting, stripped-down music he much preferred to pop-tinged Nashville Sound productions. Hit singles such as "I'm a Ramblin' Man" and "Are You Sure Hank Done
It This Way" also exemplified his hard-charging, rock-influenced style. In 1975 he won CMA's male vocalist of the year award. By this time Jennings was extending his audience to embrace hordes of college-age fans, who flocked to see him at venues including Willie Nelson's free-wheeling outdoor mus
ic festivals at Dripping Springs, Texas. In 1976, both artists soared to even more dizzying heights with the RCA release Wanted! The Outlaws. Featuring Jennings, Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and Jennings's wife, Jessi Colter, it became the first country album to be certified platinum. By the turn of the
21st century, 13 additional Jennings albums (including duet projects) had sold half a million copies or more. As the '70s progressed, Jennings and Nelson recorded duet albums and crossover hits like "Luckenbach, Texas" and "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," which won a 1978 Gramm
y for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. Jennings himself rode high on the charts into the late 1980s, chalking up No. 1 singles including "I've Always Been Crazy," "Amanda," "I Ain't Living Long Like This" and "Lucille (You Won't Do Your Daddy's Will)." During many of these same year
s, the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard --- for which Jennings wrote and sang the theme song and served as offscreen narrator --- further popularized his sound and the trademark image of his leather-covered guitar.
