Waylon sounds as great today as he did when he first released these discs. His music is timeless and this collection includes many of his finest albums. I discovered Waylon a bit late after seeing him perform "I'm a Ramblin' Man" live on an awards show. I was elated to see that this collection has both "Lonesome, On'ry & Mean" and "This Time" since I had purchased all his albums from "Ramblin' Man" forward, but hadn't ever bought his earlier material except for what was on later compilations. Waylon does not disappoint. As wonderful as his records were, his concerts were even better and I would highly recommend the deluxe double CD of "Waylon Live" to anyone who does not have it. In the meanwhile, enjoy the great music loaded onto these five albums.
Endlich gibt es Original-Alben von WJ zu einem bezahlbaren Preis. Erhält man sonst meistens nur Sampler, so hat man hier 5 Alben des charismatischen Sängers, der weit über Country hinaus bemerkenswerte Musik machte. Leider ist dieser Mann bereits gestorben. Aber seine unverwechselbare Stimme und das ausgezeichnete Song-Material machen ihn unvergesslich. Als Teil der so. Outlaws (neben Kristofferson, Cash und Nelson)hat er wunderbare Musik geschaffen. Auch auf den hier vorhandenen Songs taucht Willie Nelson immer wieder mal auf; also auch für WN-fans empfehlenswert!
