I was disappointed with this video. Waylon Jennings is surely a major figure in real country music, but this compilation, at least for me, does not reflect his later exciting performances. And most of the cuts the video and audio were poor.
Better to buy his Live From Austin concert. This I give five stars to.

This is an awesome DVD spanning Waylon's career! Great live footage, show appearances, and even a video or two. Jessi even has a couple cameo appearances! I absolutely LOVE IT!
October 27, 2007You can't buy Nashvill Rebel CD without buying this DVD, It's only natural to own both. With Waylon, you can't go wrong.
October 4, 2007Oh, I wish I could find more of these - I've always been a Waylon fan and have seen him in person several times - great performer and being able to see him again was great. Not enough songs on the DVD, tho - even tho 20 is quite a bit. Loved the first one with his clean cut look, but it just wasnt't the look we've all been used to.
Got my husband up to even dance to "Are you Sure Hank done it this a way". Can't just sit and listen to the music.

First let me say that I am an absolute diehard Hoss fan, so my review may be a tad slanted. I received the boxed set and the DVD for Christmas. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I have listened to cds - over & over. I love the way the discographers put this box set together. The songs run in chronological order from the admittedly phonetic (and sometimes pigdin Cajun) rendering of "Jole Blon" (thank Buddy Holley for this recording)to the final years of his career. This chronology allows the listener to truly appreciate Waylon's growth not just as a singer, but also as a songwriter, a musician, and a man. While I have always loved Waymore's "Lonesome, Onry, & Mean" era (I go crazy over his growls and whup whups), I have now become a fan of his early years - the years when his voice, smooth as velvet, was a far cry from what it became. The man was awesome throughout his life and this box cd set is the best way for the newbie Waylon fan to learn his music and old fans such as myself to put it all into perspective.
The biggest regret of my life is not seeing Hoss on stage. Don't make the mistake of not buying this cd set - it will set you on the path to real country music - country music as it is meant to be. If you listen to 98.1 and adore Keith Urban, maybe this set will liberate you from the clutches of Music Row's clones.
