Anyone happen to know Waylon Jennings?

He was long before my time but his music is classic now. Anyway I have this whole new appreciation for this song I've known for a while. So damn powerful.

Also interesting to know, his had a grandson who became like a country rapper. Spent time in prison & remade his grandfathers song

& Now all this time later, his great grandaughter is an upcoming country singer. So she remade both of their songs, from her own perspective as a kid.

Such powerful shit I swear. I'm not even typically a country music person I just appreciate good music in general

I know Mr. Jennings very well. Grew up listening to him and all of the outlaws thanks to my dad.

These are wonderful and I love how each new generation of musicians feels the souls of the past.

@Pinkstarburst that's very cool 👌 sounds like quite a father.
It's true though, different eras, same shit. Like Waylon's grandson said in his version "I couldn't learn from his mistakes I had to make them myself". We live different lives but our dark corners are all the same color
