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.<<
