Never before has a box set so thoroughly covered its subject. Nashville Rebel goes everywhere Waylon Jennings went, from his laid back beginnings as a Nashville clean cut to his booze soaked, cocaine adled days as long haired rebel. It’s all here, the stuff you know and the stuff you don’t. You get the hits in massive abundance (“Only Daddy That’ll Walk The Line”, “The Good Ole Boys”, “America”, “Don’t You Think This Outlaw Bit Done Got Out Of Hand”, “Amanda”,etc). You get the great b-sides (“T For Texas” anyone) and you get the early material that most Waylon fans aren’t even aware of. This is an all encompassing set of very original tunes collected in a package that knows how important it is.
