In honor of what would have been Waylon Jennings’ 78th birthday.
Here’s a fine Frontier Partisan ballad — Steve Earle’s “The Devil’s Right Hand” covered by Hoss.
And two different takes on “Outlaw” — one from 1977 at the peak and a more reflective one from the end of his life…
Keith West says
Thanks for the songs. I should really know more about Waylon, since I live in Lubbock. I’d only heard “The Devil’s Right Hand” on Bob Seger’s latest album. I think I like Waylon’s version better.
JimC says
Seger actually said he wanted to do the song because he loved Waylon’s version, so it’s all good. Dive deep into that catalogue my friend. There’s a lot to be found there.
Oscar Case says
Always enjoyed his singing.
