Waylon

An Autobiography

De: Waylon Jennings, Lenny Kaye

Narrado por: Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings gave up his spot on a flight that changed music history. His mentor, Buddy Holly, took that seat and was killed when the plane crashed.

Born dirt poor, Jennings went from country disc jockey to country superstar, leading the revolution in country music with his platinum album The Outlaws. Through his eyes we see the Nashville scene in the early days, and through his honest, no-holds-barred storytelling, we follow his struggle to overcome drugs and impending bankruptcy to establish himself as one of the living legends of country music.

I couldn’t quit listening

Awesome to hear Waylon tell his story! Love hearing about the Outlaw! He is a great speaker so it was great to hear him read it.

painfully honest.

Waylan was painfully honest. would like to hear about if he reconciled with his other children.

Great listening

I really loved hearing Waylon tell me about his life. He was such a great musician and truly one of a kind

love waylon

always great to know the real stories told by the man himself. he's a legend

BRAVO!!!

This is wonderful especially having Waylon narrate his own life story. One thing for sure I believe he did the best he could always be it work or play. So sad he didn't live longer but I know he is walking the streets of Glory with Johnny and June and so many others who went before.

Abridged!

This was so great to hear this autobiography in Waylon’s voice. I wish there was an unabridged version

Worth a listen

A brief but important recollection by a honky tonk legend. Read by Waylon, which makes it a pleasant and fitting listen. Top 50 country music autobiography.

a legend telling his story

Waylon, telling it as only Waylon can. there will never be another that could fill his boots..
