Theres the four of us standing there, grouped around microphones. The Highwaymen. John, Kris, Willie, and me. I dont think there are any other four people like us, wrote Jennings in Waylon: An Autobiography. John says that we came together because we all have a life commitment to the music. We know the same songs, but we sing them from different perspectives. We can blend the early country of the Carter Family with Texas swing, southern gospel, and rockabilly, and each of us feels comfortable singing real slices of life. Theres not one of us who hasnt come face to face with his own mortality, and manys the time weve gone through our struggles and survivals togetherThats our friendship, unlocking any door that stands between us, and it keeps four very different individuals together.
