Waylon is an album by American country music creative person Waylon Jennings, released in 1970 on RCA Victor.
Background [edit]
Waylon is best remembered for the cover of Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Homo," which climbed to #3 on the Billboard land charts, Jennings third Superlative 5 solo hit. Jennings would perform the song as part of a medley on The Johnny Cash Show. Aside from "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man", none of the other songs on this LP were released as singles. The version of "Yep, Virginia" presented here is different from the one originally issued on The One and Only in 1967. Co-ordinate to Waylon'south autobiography, the song "Yellow Haired Woman" was written about Barbara Rood, his third married woman. Waylon is also meaning for its version of "The Thirty-Tertiary of August," written by Texas songwriter Mickey Newbury, a key figure among a new generation of country songwriters that would contribute to the outlaw state movement in country music, of which Jennings would be a key focus. As Tom Jurek observes in his AllMusic review of the album:
- "This self-titled anthology signifies the existent beginning of Waylon Jennings' discontent with his career. He is making efforts in the studio here to stretch its boundaries and include material very foreign to Nashville...Just it'due south with Mickey Newbury'southward "33rd of August" that the pokiness of Waylon's mission becomes apparent. In the slow dirge, complete with gorgeous layers and textures of strings, aberrant percussion, and backing vocals that whisper rather than chorus, Jennings offers another dimension to not only this pitiful story, but the direction of his musical muse, somewhere in the groove but outside the confines of the studio."
Despite chart success, Jennings had grown frustrated with the Nashville Sound that had been imposed on his records by RCA Victor and especially resented being told what to record. As Joe Nick Patoski notes in his memoir Willie Nelson, "In addition to doing more and more of the songs he wanted to do rather than what the producer chose, Waylon wanted to produce himself and was demanding control of where the records were fabricated, the song option, and the artwork that decorated the anthology cover." Relations between Jennings and RCA Victor became increasingly strained during this period.
Waylon also includes a duet with Anita Carter on the Merle Haggard limerick "All of Me Belongs to You." Jennings had covered ii Haggard songs previously on his 1968 LP Jewels but, as he recounted in his autobiography years afterwards, he became wary of the country star after a bill of fare game, recalling, "Merle Haggard and his manager, Fuzzy Owen, got me in a poker game and cleaned me out. I had four or five m dollars on me, and they won everything. I retrieve Merle is a slap-up vocaliser and songwriter, and probably he was in as bad a shape as I was, but nosotros've never been close since that night. I can even so remember their faces. When I was bankrupt, they said their goodbyes and left. I never forgot that."[2]
