The Highwaymen were an American country music supergroup, composed of four of country music's biggest artists who pioneered the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson
Breaking The Rules is a song by the British singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti. It is taken from his album Before The Storm, which was released in 2012. The song is about taking risks and following your own path in life. It has a live acoustic version and an official video on KZfaq.
"Highwayman" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history: as a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship. The song was influenced by the real-life hanged highwayman Jonathan Wild.

Performed by The Highwaymen
- Johnny Cash
- Waylon Jennings

I mean Frank alone was probably more “bad ass” in real life than any particular dude in The Highwayman. Highwaymen was really the biggest outlaw country stars getting to sing with Johnny Cash who was their idol. Same with Traveling Wilbur’s essentially being Roy Orbison fans getting to sing with their hero. That’s not a slight at anyone else in either group, just the size of those late 50s legends in their minds

Waylon Jennings played in Buddy Holly's band in 1959 and was supposed to be on the plane that took the lives of Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens . Jennings had given up his seat to JP Richardson due to the flu. Don McLean sang it best, it was "The Day The Music Died."

For me, the charm is because these are some of the greatest icons in country music history. Kristofferson was never revered for his vocal prowess but he was an amazing song writer and I think that alone cemented his place in country music. These men were all widely considered american legends before they came together for this song, so it holds a special place in the hearts of many american country music fans.

I'm not an important person but I was in the music industry and I was playing a show in tribute of Waylon when he passed in Round Rock Texas. Don't ask me what year. Anyway, Reggie played with Waylon's widow, Jessie, and afterwards, I saw Reggie packing up his guitar in his trunk in the pasture behind the venue. I shook his hand and let him know his guitarwork on Merle's "easy come easy go" was special for me and my wife. He was gracious but admitted he didn't remember the session, ha ha...God bless Reggie Young

A little background on Kris Kristofferson he was a a Rhodes scholar, who studied at oxford university, and he later joined the army, and was supposed to be an English teacher at West Point when he decided to leave the army instead of reenlisting and pursue a music career. As for Waylon Jennings, he was originally in Buddy Holly‘s band The Crickets and he was supposed to be on the plane that crashed killing Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The reason he wasn’t on the plane is because Ritchie Valens was sick so he gave up his seat on the plane and decided to take Richies place on the tour bus.

Beth Speaking of Highwaymen, back in early early to mid 1900's, there were a group of African American painters painted the life of Florida of yester years before modern times took over. During segregation times, these iconic painters were unable to sell their paintings at studios or museums. they sold their paintings along the highway where Highway Men term came to be since now. Only a few painters are still living in their 90's to 100's. Some of their iconic auctioned off from hundreds of thousands to million dollars. Some museums have paintings on display loaned by the owners.

Awesome that you've got round to the Highwaymen, one of the coolest supergroups there ever was! Just to add a bit of context in case you thought Johnny Cash's delivery might've been a bit more restrained or clipped compared to Willie, Kris, and Waylon, there is a reason behind it: around the time this tour started, Johnny went in for some dental work that went super wrong and he ended up with a partially broken jaw. But ever the consummate showman and crowdpleaser, he decided to forego immediate treatment and recuperation, cause it would've meant cancelling the tour and leaving thousands of fans feeling let down. He eventually did get his jaw sorted, although the effect it had on his speech and singing voice lasted in some ways for pretty much the rest of his life. If you watch an interview or live video of him any time from 1990 to the year he passed, you'll notice his lower half of his mouth is almost a little out of line with the upper half, and that he kinda talks out the side of his mouth a lot, a lasting side effect of his waiting to get treated

Beth You pick the most interesting music. I have seen this, and I think it was the Johnny Cash version. Both versions are very cool. Jimmy Webb was a fascinating song writer, it seemed the music and the lyrics spun dreams. I heard a very tiny clip of him doing PFSloan. That was enough, he definitely needed someone else to do the vocals! The actor Richard Harris did at least one, possibly two albums of Webb compositions in the early 1970s. All I remember is the title The Yard Went On Forever. “There were houses, there were hoses, Checkered shirts and white Levi’s There was an ironing board and she would [something, something, something] and the yard went on forever.” Speaking of singers making another writer’s song their own, Johnny Cash did a touching and very powerful cover of the song HURT by Trent Reiner (Nine Inch Nails)and nobody else touches its power.

I've only heard the song, recorded and live, sung in the order of Nelson, Kristofferson, Jennings, Cash. When it came out in 1985, Nelson was bigger commercially. I could see Cash, or Jennings, opening in a different time, but in 1985 Nelson had been invited for We Are The World and was preparing for Farm Aid and the obvious choice to take the first verse. Webb said that having Cash sing the final verse was like God taking over the song. I am going to look up the Glen Campbell version, which I just read about. I love your reactions, and your voice, so please keep it up.

I have always enjoyed this song... so much so that when I sing at karaoke I do this song... while imitating all 4 voices... though I do the 2nd verse a bit deeper for the contrast... Highwayman, folsom prison blues, your man, honky tonk badonkadonk, and blue on black are the 5 songs I get the most requests to sing.

Just a quick note..I’m a trucker here in the U.S. a long time ago, just before he passed away, I was entertaining the Illinois tollway and happened to pull up beside Waylons bud only to look over and see him sitting in the jump seat drinking a cup of coffee. He looked rough but smiled and gave me a quick wave..I believe it was his last tour
