Jimmy Webb also wrote  “The Highwaymen” which Waylon and a couple of other 
guys  recorded.


 
Yes, It was Waylon, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash.  
Great song, great record.
 
>>Though best  known for the instant classics he provided for such artists as 
Glen Campbell  (“By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “
Galveston,” “Where’s The  Playground, Susie”), Richard Harris (“MacArthur Park,” “
Didn’t We”), the Fifth  Dimension (“Up, Up and Away,” “This Is Your Life”), 
The Brooklyn Bridge (“Worst  That Could Happen”), Art Garfunkel (“All I Know”
), Linda Ronstadt (“Easy For You  To Say”), Joe Cocker (“The Moon’s A Harsh 
Mistress”) and so on, Jimmy Webb  continues to write songs that are as 
carefully crafted and magical as the  earlier ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, 
Johnny Cash, and Kris  Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with another 
Webb standard, “The  Highwayman,” a ballad which won him yet another Grammy 
for Best Country Song of  the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year.<<
