An enjoyable read
|
| A good view of Waylon with the usual flaws inherent in any autobiography. I attended one of his performances, after he cleaned up by the way, and he was really bad with the audience. He chose to ignore us all and performed as though it was an empty house and he was bored to death. I was disapointed,of course, but I like his music. The book is a good inside look at Country music in the 60's and 70's and if for no other reason it's worth reading. His opinion of the CMA is great. (I heard a popular Country singer of that era call it the Country Money Association). Waylon was certainly responsible to some degree for the increasing popularity of Country music in those two decades. While he comes off as a bit too enthused about himself and his place in Country music at times, it must be remembered that he had a big influence on the music and will continue to have as time goes on. He is like Johnny Cash in that regard. Both had Rockabilly roots and it shows in their music. They both had their own style yet they weren't stylists as most of the over produced singers of this generation. Others will be famous for being who they are. Willie is a good example. Willie will always be famous for being Willie. Where as Waylon, like Cash, was an innovator and will be historically important as time goes on. A good book. |
