Music on CD

'Highwayman' is the first studio album released 1985 by country supergroup The Highwaymen, comprising Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. These men are legendary country music singers on their own, and when you combine them, you get something very special, a supergroup. The songs are mostly covers, drawn from a diverse selection of songwriters including Bob Seger ("Against The Wind"), Woody Guthrie ("Deportee"), Jimmy Webb ("Highwaymen"), Ed Bruce ("Last Cowboy Song") and Cindy Walker ("Jim I Wore A Tie Today"). There are also a couple of Johnny Cash oldies, "Big River" and "Committed To Parkview." A true masterpiece.

Country with a touch of Reggae by Texan Willie Nelson. Including a guest appearance of Jamaican Reggae veteran Toots Hibbert on "I'm A Worried Man" written by June and Johnny Cash. Two tracks were written by Jimmy Cliff, among them the Reggae classic "The Harder They Come" with backing vocals from Hibbert's daughter Lieba Thomas. The rest is recorded in Jamaica in the mid 90's with mostly former Peter Tosh band members under the supervision of producer Don Was.
