Known for his rugged individualism and for helping popularize the grittier, rock-infused genre known as outlaw country, Waylon Jennings was a bit of a wild card in Nashville. He demanded the freedom to be able to record whatever material he pleased while working with his choice of musicians.
Waylon taught himself to play the guitar when he was 8 and performed on the radio for the first time when he was just 12. After dropping out of high school, he devoted himself to his craft and began performing and Djing on local radio stations. Eventually, he signed with RCA records and started putting out a string of hit albums.
It was in 1958 that Waylon began working with a musician that would quickly become one of his biggest mentors. Buddy Holly of The Crickets arranged Jenning's first studio session before hiring him to play bass in his tour band.
