 (3 customer reviews)

I am a Huge Fan of Waylon and I just dont think this tribute does him justice. Its just missing the Waylon sound all most completly. Waymore's Blues wasnt bad but only daddy that'll walk the line was terrible. I just dont think Waylon intended on his music being played like this. They had big shoes to fill and failed miserably. I gave it 2 stars just because there Waylons songs

While these recordings are pretty decent, I am not going to listen again or support any other tributes to this great artist until they re-release ALL of his RCA recordings from the 70's and 80's. I have no interest in any Waylon dedication or tribute record until then.
