From the foreword by Ken Mansfield: "There are various reports about Waylon...the family man, the creative genius man, the silent man, the king-of-the-six-day-roar man, the unusual man, the famous man, the bad-ass man.... All of them are in this booklet." In a signed backup of his autobiography, Texas-born country "outlaw" icon Waylon Jennings penned an individual notice to his son Terry: "I did so my best. Now it's your turn." 2 decades later, Terry Jennings finally completes the real history of his father's remarkable, unvarnished life with Waylon: Stories of My Outlaw Dad. Delivered when Waylon was only 19, Terry emerged of age equally as Waylon's career hit the stratosphere with strikes like "I've BEEN Crazy" and "Good Hearted Woman", one of his famous Willie Nelson duets. Terry lowered out of high school and joined up with his father on head to, and the two became similar to brothers than father and son. On the highway they toured with legends like Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Jessi Colter, Waylon's fourth and last wife. Together father and son led a hard-partying lifestyle focused around music, women, and drugs. Waylon's success - critical acclaim, best-selling albums, sold-out travels, and even Tv set stardom on The Dukes of Hazzard - was at times eclipsed by his demons, three divorces, crippling debt, and a melancholy that Terry traces to the premature death of Friend Holly. (Waylon was supposed to be on Holly and Ritchie Valens' doomed airline flight.) Through it all Terry done the touring team, helped deal with Waylon's profession, and became one of his father's closest confidants. Debunking misconceptions and sharing amazing never-before-told reports, this booklet is a son's loving and strikingly honest portrait of his father, "the best outlaw country musician to sophistication this globe" and an unlikely but devoted family man. Waylon: Stories of My Outlaw Dad will resonate for years of fans.
