About
By 1972, after seven years of recording with RCA, Waylon Jennings had about enough of the control and the restrictions that the "Nashville Sound" imposed to country music artists. Jennings was by the time regarded as a "raising artist" but he still needed the right thing. Around the same time, singer-songwriter Billy Joe Shaver was also pushing to succeed in music, but he needed a voice for his compositions. Their paths crossed just before the 1972 "Dripping Springs Reunion", a concert regarded as the "Redneck Woodstock". Waylon was on the bill to play the show, and Billy Joe was invited .
