Waylon Book

When I was looking at reading this book I read somewhere that someone said this book was almost like sitting down with Waylon and having him tell his life story over a few beers. That actually fits quite well. Waylon was one of the first to really break the conventenial country music barriers mainly because he wanted to play the music as he felt it. This tells all of his struggles as he went through those barriers and broke through Nashvilles walls into a new label known now as outlaw country. Waylon also tells of his excessive drug usage and how 20 to 30 amphetamines a day would help get him through from one gig to the next. And his story of shaking the big monkey of coke and pills off his back. Some of the more personal stuff towards the end of the book is really touching. I really enjoyed the stories of him hanging with some of the all time great folks that made country music. If anyone is interested in a real personal down and dirty look at Waylon Jennings this would be the book I would tell them to pick up.
