The artistry in the Highwaymen is very hard to beat. It is obvious that Kris Kristofferson is extremely well-educated and Johnny, Waylon, and Willie are extremely intelligent. You will not find anything of this artistic merit on country radio today.
i love the moment at 1:12 could you imagine being kris and looking over and at that point waylon, john and willie looking right at you smiling, what a feeling.
true.. kris has always been very humble. with the other three being larger than life he never really gets the credit he deserves. kris is a great singer and performer in his own right and one of the best songwriters to ever pick up a pen
thanks brother, at least we no the magic he has, dont forget though the money is in the wrighting of the songs so kris is doing ok i bet! long live willie and kris
Reggie Young is on lead guitar with the black fender,almost certain that's Robbie Turner on steel,they were both in the Waymores Blues Band when Waylon passed
I'm with you on that. On the comments for 'Big River' it says the harmonica player is Mickey Raphael- and he is fantastic. Can't help you with the keyboardist
man, that's just the pits- what a sympathetic jailer...and smacking into that cop he didn't see... the more I hear this the more I like it- one of KK's best; I'm laughing and enjoying it totally!
Great video of the greatest artists to walk this earth! Love them all so much!! To bad W & J left us -they`re jamming together now in Countryheaven -Elvis, Roy and Roger is backing them up!!!!
-Waylon rules-
PS! Looking out for exchanging videos of Waylon and others, feel free to contact me; hosscurtis(a)gmail(dot)com!
Best of all possible songs!Those musicians are all great. How about that piano player? You cannot listen to this song without tapping your feet and smiling! I love it.
long winded as all get out, but i have the tape and i cant get enough of watching them all; Kris sings Why me lord good too; the four performed great together;
to quote one of there songs in 3rd person "nobody here will ever find them but they will always be around just like the songs they leave behind them they live forever now"
RIP Johnny and Waylon. We miss the both of you!

Reggie Young is smoking but so is the harp player and that steel picker too. Who are they?
Laughed at Kris "and I ain't going to" - he's been through that and glad to see him happy, sober and kickin ass.
the diabetes made Waylon lose his legs before he died.

Mikey Raphael plays the harmonica, you can see him in the movie "Songwriter" (1984) with Kris and Willie, too. Robby Turner plays the pedal steel.
