Waylon was such a legend.

Unfortunately country music isn't country anymore

I agree with you that Keith Whitley is overlooked and had one of the greatest voices ever in country music. I absolutely love these stories.

Alot of good nights happened as Hank, Waylon & Keith sang from my stereo out in the garage.

Waylon & Willie have been a big part of my music career. Over the past 33yrs. Thanks to my dad. I'm old school and stick to the traditional music that's served me well. I'm 53 now and my health ain't what it used to be. But I'll keep going till I can't.

There's a story told of Dolly about the filming of the movie Steel Magnolias. The movie featured an all star cast of actresses like Julia Roberts Sally Fields and Shirley McClain. They were filming on location in the south during the summer. Dolly and 3 of the female co stars were sitting on a porch in very realistic southern attire that women wore back in the day. In other words these costumes very hot. Even better filming was being delayed due to some technical problem and the women were becoming very annoyed sitting in the hot southern sun wearing these heavy costumes. So they started complaining and griping about their discomfort. Except Dolly One of the co stars said to Dolly why aren't you saying anything Dolly don't you think it's inconsiderate of them to have us just sitting here in the hot sun. Dolly said I grew up poor and really never dreamed of the success God has blessed me with and I'm not about to sit here and complain about it.

Waylon and Willie exuded coolness in country.

Keith Whitley would've been so much bigger if he'd lived longer. What a tragic loss, for Lorrie & the world. A very distinct voice and I'm with you... One of the world's very best vocalists.

Those were the best days for country music.

Bring back the old country , country rap , and pop just doesn't cut it.

Willie Nelson: The last of the legends.

I had no idea June Carter was Hank Jr’s Godmother nor did I know that her and Johnny were sitting by his hospital bed when he woke up after his fall off the mountain. Yet another reason to miss old country music and the bond the artists had with each other

I was so upset when I heard about Hanks accident he was my favorite beginning in 1973 i had to order his music he was not real popular yet but since then i have seen him 5 times anytime he comes to western Ark I will be there. I have a snap shot I took of Hank I still have it I took a chance taking the pic due to his eye injuries but he just smiled at me. ... thanks Hank

Waylon Jennings....be still my heart.❤️

You could do an entire video about Billy Joe Shaver. He shot a man in the face outside a bar near Waco, Tx. He also taught himself to pick after losing some fingers on his right hand in a sawmill accident or something like that. Quite a character.

Dang straight, Waylon's the man!

THIS WORLD WILL NEVER 👎 BE THE SAME WITHOUT THESE LEGENDS. Long live the OUTLAWS of country ❤😢

To me the song that best reflects Dolly's personality is Wildflowers from the (Trio) album "The hills were alive with wildflowers. And I was as wild, even wilder than they. For at least I could run, they just died in the sun and I refused to just wither in place." Our mentors aren't supposed to hold us back when we're ready to walk on our own... she knew exactly what was best for her career and I'm certainly glad she had the courage to follow through.

Johnny Paycheck's song "Old Violin" is a wonderful song that deserves a listen. I believe he was also the songwriter.

I've seen Hank JR 19 times and he can play 17 different instruments and is truly a Musical Genius. Seen a lot of great artists with him Waylon Charlie DANIELS and David Allen Coe and many more. A true ICON.

Waylon is the only man in history to make $25,000 while taking a piss. He stuck it to Chet

Remember Richard Thomas as Hank Jr in the 1983 movie "Living Proof(180) The Hank Williams, Jr. Story" Dolly passed Wagner and Wagner was never the same. Sorry to say it was last week that I learned of the death of Waylon Jennings

Excellent video! Very well done.

Dolly is an icon. Her fans will always love her.

Keith whitley was always my favorite. I still listen to him when he played with the clinch mountain Boys. I mean wow. I never forgot about him. It's sad, too be an adult and learn how he passed, I feel so bad for Lori he really really really loved her so much. And his son sings and kind of sounds like him, still ain't the same. Till each tear becomes a rose.

Dolly is such a smokeshow with an angelic voice. Epic country legend

the best Waylon story is what he did during the "We are the World " recording

Waylon is one, if not the greatest! I can listen to music for hours on end!! True Country Boy! Keith and Waylon RIP Brother’s! Greatest Country Music Singers!

WOW awesome memories…. These are the bands I went and saw in concert ….. just a olde county boy from Harlen, kY. Best of times!!

Waylon's lawyer was well aware that his client & Chet Atkins were friend's, Waylon admired Chet's legendary guitar playing & had a lot of respect for him. His lawyer also knew that was a definite handicap in trying to negotiate a settlement. Before Neil & Waylon entered Chet's RCA office, Neil told Waylon to be quite & let his lawyer do his talking & that's why Waylon didn't break Neil's jaw when told to "shut-up Waylon" 😉 Waylon was a stone cold Baddass & I'm sure afterwards he explained calmly to Neil not to make a habit of telling him that 😂

The best work Waylon did was "Honkey Tonk Heroes" in 1973 (songs written mainly by Billy Joe Shaver - which is another story altogether). It caught this long-haired 15 YO bass-playing Rock & Roller and never let go.

I'm a child of the 70s and the son of a banjo player, so Keith Whitley will always be a bluegrass singer to me.

Miss Waylon Jennings!!!!!

I grew up in the Idaho/Montana area Hank Jr. had his accident. Now I live just outside Paris, Tennessee. Hope he doesn't think I'm following him.

Nice video. Outlaw country captured my soul. It's pretty much all I've been listening to since I got into it 7 or so years ago.

Country music is still out there, just not on the radio!

Willie keep giving hell brother! You never surprise me in all you do!!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT‼️🫶🏻

Keith Whitley, another great Kentuckian. Saw Waylon 2 feet away in a club in Lexington, Ky. on a Saturday night. On Monday Waylon had QUADRUPLE BYPASS SURGERY. What a Hoss, indeed.

Dolly's song was made popular with a different generation by Whitney Houston, but it had already become popular and had reached number one on the charts twice under Dolly.

I remember watching Dolly on the Porter Wagner show when I was a little girl. I've been a fan of hers my entire life ❤

Man Dolly Parton was the most beautiful lady that ever lived before the surgeries.

That story is pure Dolly. Look to the good, work hard and let others complain., while you give thanks. That's why we love her.

Hank was yelling the whole way down so far so good so far so good

Wow I love your channel. I love music and these are some of my favorite of all time . Thank you for the new information.😇

NOT ONE OF US IS PERFECT OR WITHOUT SIN !!! INSTEAD OF POINTING OUT SOMEONE'S FAULTS !!! TELL OF THE GOOD THINGS THEY DONE !!! LONG LIVE THE HIGHWAYMEN !!!

If Keith Whitley was still alive, he would have been one of the most popular country singers of all time.

Waylon can and will never be replaced.

And yes yall I've been around and learned to love 😍 country music 🎶 and still do and plan on listening 👂 to country music 🎶 till I'm not able to and at 72years old as of today 👿 I'm hoping to have a few years listening 👂 to the kind of country I grew up with and still love 😍 but I'm thinking I've taken up more than my share of yalls time and I'm going to say bye 👋 for now yall and have a good one 1⃣

I was hoping that Waylon had pissed in the peanuts! 🤣

For Waylon fans, been listening to white Mansions again. Great album

Super Dope episode I loved it and Thank You.

Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.

You know, I wasn't going to comment on this because that's how wonderfully put the announcer spike of each artist on here. The way you articulate your untimely respect 🙏 for EACH of these wonderful icons won my subscription, but also gave me a warm reason to be, a lot nicer to people that I speak of even if we have had disagreements!! So thank you for your well mannerd respects in your stories about out friends and heros in music! Sincerely, kenny, Ann arbor , michigan, (DADDY Was from Paintsville, Kentucky!!😉🤙)

I love Hank Jr. and Dolly

I've enjoyed watching!

Very good upload really enjoyed watching it very interesting as well hope to see more country videos like this thanks again ok yes great vol 2 was

Waylon, Merle, and George are my trifecta.

I Grew up watching Eagels football and eating pot roast of beef dinners on Sundays with Willie Nelson as , Uncle Willie as we called him would be in town to play at Whiskey Juction in Bordentown New jersey That was the early 80"s

Great video. Nice job sir

Shame on Porter Wagner for going after Dolly like that......

Country is not country anymore, it’s soft-pop.

Also Ms Audrey died during Hank Jr's early recuperation and surgeries making that transition to the sound that Bocephus is now known for

Waylon released a song, one I thought was one if the last before he passed called America. It was released in 1984, but in late 1990's I saw and heard of it for the 1st time on MTv , and this was when MTv really wasn't about the music anymore. If you haven't heard or watched the video you should check it out! 🦅🇺🇲🦅 Edit to fix my mistakes

WE LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT !!!

That!!!…. Was a great video.

The Paycheck incident happened up the street from my hometown. Everyone has looked for that gun!

DOLLY MY FAV too

Really love ur music hank

I like old Hank Jr. Even though he made a comment that got the football ads pulled years ago. Hey Hank, the Disney dude made sure I had face time in that. Inside the Parthenon when Gloria Estefan was on stage. Didn't get on TV but I enjoyed the whole thing.

Very Cool piece here , you should have mentioned the fact that Waylon was not on the famous plane crash aka the day the music died ( I only said that because I'm not sure if everyone knows that Sad fact of music history)

Hey Rosie I have been a fan of Hanks for about as long as you and became an even bigger fan when he joined up with the rest of the so called outlaws and sort of help reshape country music 🎶 while inreality the outlaws were helping country music get back to its roots and the outlaws were writing hit songs for themselves and most of the other big stars ⭐ and yet most people outside of Nashville didn't even realize how much much country music 🎶 the outlaws were responsible for in the 60s 70s and most of the 80s and still are responsible for a lot of hits one way or another these days and have helped open things up for Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton and other young songwriter performers who are currently making names for themselves as writing and singing 🎶 more traditional country type songs so like with other genres of music 🎶 what's old is new again and best as I can tell country music 🎶 is back to where it was in the 60s 70s and 80s again and I for one 1⃣ hope the generations of young kids listening and loving country music 🎶 these days will pass their love 😍 of country music 🎶 down to the generations that come after them and on and on and on the way country music 🎶 has always seemed to survive through the years

Dolly is anointed, god and her have a plan. She’s blessing people everywhere.

Dolly said in a interview that Porter was controlling and tried to hold her back so she wouldn't leave his show. He did some real shady shit.

I've always liked outlaw country my favorite paycheck song is ( the only hell my momma ever raised ) but years later as I was working for a carnival I found my favorite johnny paycheck cd as I was setting up my stereo and I put that CD in the first song was take this job and shove it then I heard this voice behind me say nice song john I turned around and it was my boss with a grin from ear to ear lmao

I agree that Porter Wagner was the biggest break for Dolly but from what I have heard one of her first breaks was singing backup for an earlier country star named Bill Phillips. From my understanding, Dolly sang backup for Bill’s hit song “Put it Off Until Tomorrow”. She sounded so good on that song an executive in the industry heard it and inquired who she was and it was a small start for her. I played with Bill a couple of times in his later years in the early 1980s. Some of the older stars that were still touring during that time would hire out with their band or by their selves. The person hiring them then would hire a lesser known band to fill in for a smaller price. A club owner in Farmerville Louisiana hired him and the band I was playing with at the time out of Arkansas named The River City Band. We backed Bill up as his band two different times at that club. He was an extremely nice down to earth guy. Thanks for listening. Those were some good times.

I love Waylon Jennings

I fell in love with Keith Whitley's voice without knowing he had already died.

My first time watching this channel, so I haven't caught vol.1 yet. But speaking of David Allen Coe, he's probably the wildest of the wild, any DAC stories?

OUTLAW COUNTRY !!!

Just like Kieth Whitley, another one of the all time country greats that had a tragic life story and has had his name lost in time was the great Blaze Foley.

Waylon will always be the greatest i love waylon keith whitley is another great singer & gone way to soon.

5:46 SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME!!

Back when country was country cause country isn't country now

Dolly sings as in a movie Earthly Angel as love that movie and does a trio with Emilous Harrison as cant remember 3rd one

Nice footage of Hank and Waylon at the 1983 US Festival. How much did it cost to lease that? That's what I thought.

A night of relaxation?? 🤣 He stole a brick from the outlaws that night and was coked tf up. So relaxing 🤣

Very good point on Keith Whitley. Good on ya man! Take care

I remember Dolly being at a grocery store (cas walkers). My dad told me she worked there. I don't think she was a cashier. I think it had something to do with her singing. Maybe a commercial and she just happened to be there. It was in Knoxville not Sevierville so Idk. I just remember thinking she was so beautiful.

My grans love Dolly..We do too..

Willie and hag..great friends 😆💨🌬✌

That's real country. I grew up on it watching Hee haw.

As a kid I hated history and country music. As an adult I tire of the same ole music and so I become more attracted to real country music. I also find that I appreciate good stories from history and country music is full of interesting story from the 50s through the 90s! if you don’t like the music you can’t deny the compelling lives of country stars! Crazy how hippies hip hop got so much attention while country was as bad or worse, behind the scenes!

Paycheck could play the blues like crazy.

Waylon was the coolest

Country music took a real nosedive when Shania Twain started “singing.” Hank Williams Jr. should have died at 29 and his Dad should have lived on. So many sad stories in country music.

I'm surprised you didn't mention John Denver's airplane crash. My late husband was a fan.

Wow, Keith Whitley '84-'89; 19 #1 hit singles. Remarkable.

Dolly Parton got her start on the television show in Knoxville called Kaz Walker show
