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.<<
