"Waylon: Tales of My Outlaw Dad is a quick, fun read that offers
the reader an intimate look inside a world that doesn't exist
anymore."--VICE
"[A] tender but lucid memoir that doesn't sugarcoat Waylon's
raucous life."--Garden & Gun
"I'm so excited about Terry's new book. Waylon Jennings has always
been one of my favorite singers of all time. I loved his voice. He
was completely different from anybody else. And I always wanted to
either do a whole album with him or at least a duet song; but I
never got the chance. That will always be one of my great regrets.
Waylon was a wonderful human being as well. He reminded me very
much of my own people in his tenderness, kindness, his
understanding and his personality. I think of him often."--Dolly
Parton
"I've played country music my whole life, and it's the evolutions
(sometimes revolutions) that have ensured that it stays ever
changing, ever growing, and constantly relevant. When I first heard
Waylon sing the opening verse of 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This
Way' it was like a mini sermon. It's also the first country song I
played for my wife, and she was hooked immediately. As his son
Terry wonderfully captures in this book, Waylon was an outsider
trying to figure out how to be in a town like Nashville and stay
true to his music and who he is. And, boy, can I relate to that.
Waylon had a power, a gravitas to his music that hit me in a
religious way. It was music where I could smell the beer soaked
carpet, see the neon, feel the stomping and sliding of boots on
hardwood floors, and almost taste the air thick with smoke, sex and
whiskey. It's authentic, it's raw, and it's unapologetic in every
way...and for a kid growing up on the other side of the world who
never got to see Waylon 'live' or meet him, I feel like I've done
both. God bless you Waylon ... and please know I'm taking great
care of your leather-bound 1950 Broadcaster."--Keith Urban
"In his revealing new book, Waylon Jennings' son Terry discusses
his father's legacy and what he really thought of the 'outlaw
country' movement."--Wide Open Country
"Waylon Jennings and I first met in the mid '60s backstage at JD's
in Phoenix. We would go on to record duets, write songs, cut
records and tour together for over three decades. We had our
differences, but our friendship always endured. I considered Waylon
one of my best friends. Packed with funny, insightful tales of life
on the road, this book is a terrific tribute, from a son to his
father. A father who happens to be one of Texas and Nashville's
greatest musicians. Every country music fan, Outlaw or otherwise,
should have it on their shelf."--Willie Nelson
