news flash! no one cares how old you are you arent impressing anyone by being 12 and liking willie nelson.....just listen to the freaking song and enjoy
the thing so great about willie as described by my dad, now i realize, is that the music leads the music, his voice is the beautiful instrument that follows and pushes the tune. willie you are amazing, words cannot describe..
i love this music, i listen to modern country but no one is is like the highwaymen,THEY WERE LEGEND, and still are even though some of them arent with us god bless all of them
all four of these guys helped make country music what it is today if it was not for them none of these new country artists would of had any insperation and i would love to smoke pot with willie any day R.I.P waylon and johnny you will never be forgotten.
absolutely love the highway mean & willie nelson. he has got an amazing voice. & his version of this song, it seems so much more meaningful compared to elvis. i also love johnny cash. his songs are also amazing. but the other two fella's, waylon jennings & kris kristofferson, ive never heard other musicof theirs, but they have got amazing voices aswell :] love the highwaymen ! <3
were we not blessed to be allowed the gift of these 4 great talents? The Highwaymen were not about the money. It was about the music, the friendships and their love for one another. Respect. And that' s what is missing today. Todays country is a mess. Only one that really knows what direction to go in and stay true is George Straight. To the 4 Highwaymen. Thank you so very much.
cant believe the sound that comes out of that beat down guitar. one of the greatest performers period. these new acts cant come close to doing what these men did live.
Wow this is a very fabulous and superb awesome performance by Mr. Willie Nelson, what a passion and emotion rendered or shown!!! Willie Nelson.. you know, you are always on my mid....
o guess you never heard the 77 verrsions by elvis, a man who has lost control of his life completely, pretty fat, on drugs, sweaty, but the voice, the voice never leaved him, those last shows really are like opera, seeing that voice coming from the man who once was a teen sex idol.
@OropherThranduil That is exactly the difference; Willie sings it like the lyrics really mean something to him, it's an intimate song. Elvis sung it like opera, which doesn't suit the song, and the only thing that was on his mind was his next dose of pills and lots of food. Not people he loved.
@OropherThranduil Just as much as YOU know what was on his mind. You sound like a completely smitten schoolgirl... Elvis was just a man, with an ordinary soul.
i guess reading what close assocaites of him, like his wife, his friends, his parents said about him and his last year is some kind of knowing more than you about it.
Muito linda esta musica, no Brasil ouvimos muito a versão com Bee Gees, nos anos 80, saudade das festinhas de fim-de-semana!!! Slasheri obrigado pela postagem, nos traz maravilhosas recordações! Congratulations!
You're both wrong. It was collaboratively written by Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson. The first known recorded performance was by Brenda Lee in June of 1972. Elvis didn't do it until 5 months after that, and Willie didn't do it until 10 years later.
Ok.. why, when you click reply on the message you're replying to, does it put the comment at the top of the list, instead of adding it to the thread? What am I doing wrong?
Country music doesn't get any better than Outlaw Country, and the Highwaymen personified and shaped it. It's a shame I didn't get to see them all together...
this song is for you ande, my sunshine, my love! i thank u for showing real feelings ... i never knew that i can have this for a person... you are great and i would do all 4 you! thx for all and RIP MR. CASH!!! WE NEVER FORGET YOU!
Slash..what are you saying? Kris is one of the greatest songwriters that ever was. He might not be the best singer, but then again, Johnny wasn't either. They were all great friends and respected each other for their individual contributions to the group. I for one wish I could have seen all 4 of them together!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wish i could have seen them all together. except for kris. dont know why hes in there. i see three of the greatest country men of all time and "an extra." not that i dont think hes talented, but he shouldnt be up there with the greats. i love this song. his voice and these chords go great together.
I don't think that Kristofferson is better than Merle Haggard or George Jones as a solo artist, but his voice complements the others here perfectly and he is obviously an amazing songwriter. He's like the Bob Dylan of country music in that he's a genius songwriter but other people perform his songs better than he does
I had the gift of seeing the Highwaymen in Honolulu, in either 1994 or 95;foggy on dates. It was another milestone to my life; in attendance of four champions. Ive still got a hard-board print of the concert billing hanging on my wall.
One of my favorite songs, have to give credit to the writer Mr Nelson who always seems to deliver an "authentic" performance. Elvis did a great performance of this song also, letting out those guilty feelings about Priscilla.
Right you are, guess I was thinking of "Funny How Time Slips Away". I have an early seventies Kristofferson concert on disc with Willie performing a couple songs including that one and he stole the show.
VolkerStockel: have to agree with the others on Willie's version..because HE wrote it! A song is always going to have more soul coming from its writer. Elvis had a great voice, could 'sell' a song, but he didn't write them. The Highwaymen were/are all singer-songwriters as well as musicians, so it didn't matter that their voices weren't 'perfect'..they were singing from the heart.
It's always good to know that there are still people who have great taste in music. I love the Highwaymen and I totally adore this song from Willie. God bless them and may Johnny and Walon rest in peace. Keep up tod work
people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

What do YOU know what was on Elvis mind?
he wasn't a 80s glam metal artists who only thoguht about drugs and getting bitches.
and when he recorded it in early 72 he wasn't much into drugs and all the shit he later get on.
Hre purs his soul into the song.
and elvis soul was grand as an opera.

I once saw the Highwaymen in concert in Frankfurt, Germany and it was one of the best perfomances I ever saw.
So Elvis was not a great songwriter, but my opinion he had a better voice than all Highwaymen combined.
He sang songs from is heart to and put soul into it. There is no one of them 4 Highwaymen who did not accept that Elvis was the King in music.
