Includes liner notes by Rich Kienzle. Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (SAJE Sound, New York, New York). This generous two-disc compilation effectively replaces the deleted ONLY DADDY THAT'LL WALK THE LINE double-disc that was initially packaged as a box set (ah, nostalgia). As such, it carries the listener through the various phases of the late country pioneer's groundbreaking career. We get '60s cuts such as Gordon Lightfoot's "That's What You Get For Lovin' Me" and Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," which show an early eclectic streak seemingly at odds with Waylon's early, more polite "Nashville" material like "Stop the World (And Let Me Off)." Perhaps most importantly, we get the mid-'70s selections that defined the term "outlaw country." "Dreaming my Dreams," "Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way," and the like are gloriously fiesty examples of a hardcore country singer mixing rock flavoring and attitude with his badass cowboy image, to earth-shaking effect. Jennings's later, mega-successful collaborations with pal/fellow outlaw Willie Nelson (most famously "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys") and the not-half-bad-when-you-think-about it theme from DUKES OF HAZZARD represent his most accessible side, but most of RCA COUNTRY LEGENDS bears out the fact that Waylon was a true country rebel.
