By age 12 he was playing in a band and working as a radio DJ. His style evolved over time, taking on a tougher, more bass-driven sound. He befriended such artists as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/willie-nelson-9421488\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willie Nelson<\/a>, and formed the Highwaymen with Nelson,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/johnny-cash-9240610\">Johnny Cash<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/kris-kristofferson-177860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kris Kristofferson<\/a>\u00a0in 1985. By the time of his death, Jennings had become a country music superstar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a name=\"early-career\"><\/a><strong>\u2022 Early Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Singer, songwriter, musician. Born on June 15, 1937, in Littlefield, Texas. A musical rebel, Waylon Jennings is best remembered for helping to popularize a grittier and more rock-influenced style of \u201coutlaw\u201d country music. He and some of his fellow artists were labeled \u201coutlaws\u201d for challenging the country music establishment and for their hard-partying ways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jennings learned to play guitar as a child. By the age of 12, he was playing in a band and working as a radio disc jockey. Jennings dropped out of school and moved to Lubbock in 1954. There he found work at a local radio station, KLLL, where he met and befriended early rock and roll star\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/buddy-holly-9342186\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buddy Holly<\/a>. In 1958, Holly produced Jennings\u2019 first single, <em>\u201cJole Blon,\u201d<\/em> and Jennings played in Holly\u2019s backup band, The Crickets, for a time. He was performing with the group on February 3, 1959, and he was supposed to get on a private plane with Holly after their show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Jennings, however, gave up his spot on the plane to rock star\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/j-p-richardson-20730865\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">J. P. Richardson<\/a>\u2014better known as the Big Bopper\u2014who wasn\u2019t feeling well. Shortly after takeoff, the plane crashed, killing Holly, Richardson, singer\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/ritchie-valens-38193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ritchie Valens<\/a>, and the pilot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Heartbroken after the tragedy, Jennings returned to Lubbock for a time and worked as a radio disc jockey. He moved to Phoenix in 1960 and restarted his musical career, forming a band called the Waylors. The group developed a local following and even recorded some singles through the independent record label Trend. While the band never really took off commercially, Jennings landed a contract with A&amp;M Records in 1963 and moved to Los Angeles. He got into a conflict with the record label over the direction of his music. They wanted him to take on more of a pop sound. Not one to be pushed around, Jennings remained committed to his country style. He made only one album for A&amp;M.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a name=\"country-star\"><\/a>\u2022 Country Star<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1965, Jennings moved to Nashville. He became roommates with country music\u2019s man in black,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/johnny-cash-9240610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnny Cash<\/a>, which marked the start of a lifelong friendship. That year Jennings had his first country hit, <em>\u201cStop the World (And Let Me Off).\u201d<\/em> By 1968, he had several successful singles, including <em>\u201cWalk On Out of My Mind\u201d<\/em> and<em> \u201cOnly Daddy That\u2019ll Walk the Line.\u201d<\/em> Jennings won his first Grammy Award in 1969 for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for <em>\u201cMacArthur Park,\u201d<\/em> which he recorded with the Kimberlys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Around this time, Jennings\u2019 musical style continued to evolve, taking on a tougher, more bass-driven sound. He worked on songs with such songwriters and artists as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/kris-kristofferson-177860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kris Kristofferson<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/willie-nelson-9421488\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willie Nelson<\/a>. In 1973, Jennings released \u00ab<em>Honky Tonk<\/em>\u00a0<em>Heroes\u00bb<\/em>, which is often seen as one of the early albums displaying his new so-called outlaw sound. This new style was a distinct break from the slick productions of the more traditional country music and began\u00a0to develop its own following. Reaching the top of the country charts in 1974, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yKiyoQwiYDc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cThis Time\u201d<\/a><\/em> was the first number one hit for Jennings and was quickly followed by another chart-topper <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3zHAMaWrwPw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cI\u2019m a Ramblin\u2019 Man.\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a name=\"crossover-success\"><\/a>\u2022 Crossover Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jennings got his first taste of crossover success in 1975 when <em>\u201cAre You Sure Hank Done It This Way\u201d<\/em> made its way onto the pop charts. Around that same time, he was honored by the Country Music Association as Male Vocalist of the Year. Jennings\u2019 participation in the compilation\u00a0<em>Wanted! The Outlaws<\/em>\u00a0(1976) helped him become an even bigger name in music [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Joining forces with Nelson, he recorded\u00a0<em>Waylon &amp; Willie<\/em>\u00a0(1978), which went on to sell several million copies. One of their duets from the album, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RePtDvh4Yq4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cMammas Don\u2019t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,\u201d<\/a><\/em>\u2190 reached the top of the charts and gave Jennings his second Grammy Award. He and Nelson shared the honors for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the rest of the decade and into the early 1980s, Jennings continued to make hits, including <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xvZeYDBY4fw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cLuckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)\u201d<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WmE_vnJigXo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cTheme from \u2018The Dukes of Hazzard\u2019 (Good Ol\u2019 Boys).\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a name=\"struggles\"><\/a><strong>\u2022\u00a0Struggles<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E7q_GSkh2QA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-46571\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eoisabi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/waylon.jpg\" alt=\"waylon\" width=\"148\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/waylon.jpg 172w, https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/waylon-91x150.jpg 91w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 148px) 100vw, 148px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Long known for his partying ways, Jennings\u2019 drug use escalated into an expensive cocaine and amphetamine habit, which sometimes cost him as much as $1,500 a day.

They hit the top of the country charts with \u201cHighwayman,\u201d which was included on their successful album of the same name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While he had a tough time getting his music played on country music stations, Jennings remained a popular performer, touring extensively until 1997. He even played a few dates on 1996 Lollapalooza tour, better known for showcasing alternative rock acts. Around this time, Jennings candidly shared his many ups and downs in\u00a0\u2192<a href=\"http:\/\/deuceofclubs.com\/books\/207waylon.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Waylon: An Autobiography<\/strong><\/a>, written with <strong>Lenny Kaye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diagnosed with diabetes in the early 1990s, Jennings had trouble walking in his later years.

Cash was born February 26th, 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas. He grew up amid the difficulties of the Great Depression and worked on the family farm with his siblings. His early musical exposure came from the radio and his mother, who taught him to play guitar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0U.S. Air Force and First Band<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After high school, Cash served in the United States Air Force where he formed his first band. Following his discharge in 1954, he married his first wife. They moved to Memphis, Tennessee where Cash worked on his music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Sun Records<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He did not impress Sun Records with his early gospel songs. However, a few months later, he caught the label\u2019s attention with the rockabilly sound of his band Tennessee Two, which was later called Tennessee Three.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Country Debut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This led to his 1957 debut Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar. It featured the top five country track <strong>\u201cFolsom Prison Blues\u201d<\/strong> and his first country number one: <strong>\u201cI Walk the Line.\u201d<\/strong> Around this time, Cash participated in a jam session with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis: these recordings were later released as the Million Dollar Quartet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Gospel and Secular Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cash began to seek more creative control with his music. With Columbia Records, he released his first gospel LP in 1959. He also had chart success with secular recordings: in fact, <strong>\u201cRing of Fire\u201d<\/strong> was his biggest hit to that point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Acting and Musical Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 1960s were busy for Cash: he toured with traditional folk music group the Carter Family and appeared on television and in movies. He also released a few concept albums and a Grammy-winning duet with June Carter. In addition, Cash found success with two live records taken from his performances for prison inmates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Problems with Drugs and Alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite these professional successes, Cash\u2019s personal life was being destroyed by drug and alcohol addictions and trouble with the law. With guidance from the Carter Family, Cash cleaned himself up following a spiritual epiphany, and married June Carter in 1968. Unfortunately, he battled these addictions again on several occasions during his lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Television and the Man in Black<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1969, <em>\u201cThe Johnny Cash Show\u201d<\/em> made its television debut. By the next decade, Cash began sporting more and more all-black outfits. He explained the political motivations for this in the protest song <strong>\u201cMan in Black.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0More Music and More Films<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the early 1970s, Cash continued producing hits.
