- Hal Horowitz
- Ned Kelly. Few remember that this 1970 movie - known primarily as being Mick Jagger’s second acting role - had an intriguing soundtrack that featured, among others, a pre-fame Waylon singing Shel Silverstein songs.
- The Chokin' Kind. Waylon and his Waylors group first released this Harlan Howard-penned tune in 1967. It hit no.8 on the US Country chart but became a bigger hit for soul man Joe Simon, who won a Grammy for it three years later.
- This Time. One of Jennings’ earliest no.1 country hits (recorded 1973) had help from co-producer Willie Nelson and feels more like West Coast folk than country, even with Mickey Raphael’s ever-present harmonica.
- Good Ol' Boys. Perhaps not the best Waylon song, but surely one of his most recognizable ones, this was the theme from the popular 80s TV show The Dukes of Hazzard.
