Larry KratkaHOST
Nothing like ending this edition of Sweet Country Music with a group of country music legends all on one song.
Larry KratkaHOST
Those were the Highwaymen and their number one hit from 1985, Highwayman.
Larry KratkaHOST
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Chris Christopherson made up the country music supergroup.
Larry KratkaHOST
Now, as a group, the Highwaymen had two additional hit records.
Larry KratkaHOST
Desperado's Waiting for a Train in 1985 and Silver Stallion in 1990.
Larry KratkaHOST
And by the way, you can see all four of the Highwaymen in the 1986 made-for-TV movie Stagecoach.
Larry KratkaHOST
You know, sometimes it's hard to believe how fast time flies.
Larry KratkaHOST
When I'm doing the show, all of a sudden, boom, the show is over.
DerekHOST
He came on stage.
DerekHOST
They did The Road Goes On Forever, which if you listened, I said Highwaymen, Jimmy.
DerekHOST
And they did a Highwaymen song, but it was also a Robert Earl King song that the Highwaymen performed.
DerekHOST
And I should have said in my Getting to Know Country Music or Country Western to listen to some Robert Earl King.
DerekHOST
But now I said it, so go listen to him.
Michael BerryHOST
I think my favorite Robert Earl Keene story is about his car burning up and he gets invited to come and meet Willie on his bus, but they're leaving to go jam with Leon Russell.
Michael BerryHOST
And, you know, all these years later, the Highwaymen recorded his song, so it all made it okay.
Michael BerryHOST
Yeah, it
Ray Wylie HubbardGUEST
was just, you know, I'd say Willie's picnic was just incredible.
Brandon DouglasHOST
But it's just it's not the same as, say, what I really liked listening to when I was growing up from the 80s and the 90s that you heard on the radio.
Brandon DouglasHOST
You loved The Highwaymen, didn't you? Well, that's actually predates even that and a little bit.
Brandon DouglasHOST
And I do enjoy that.
Brandon DouglasHOST
But no, like the honky tonk era of country music, which was kind of the initial popification of country to an extent.
Jeremy RosenthalGUEST
you did.
Jeremy RosenthalGUEST
What I struggle with here, too, is that there's a lot of, like, okay, we could do Folsom Prison Blues, but that's like a prison song, you know? And there's like the Highwaymen, the Devil's Right Hand, you know? And there's a lot of self-defense themes there.
Jeremy RosenthalGUEST
But, man, there's so much there that has to do with authority, losing, getting your butt kicked, you know? We Can Work It Out, a perfect mediation song.
Jeremy RosenthalGUEST
I never thought of that.
MichaelPANELIST
exactly like that.

HelenHOST
Yeah, this was around the time that she was in that super group, High Women, who did the, you know, the Highwayman song only made it about women and did like a whole album of stuff.
HelenHOST
It was with her and Natalie Hemby and Amanda Shires and Maren Morris.
HelenHOST
And I think this was around the time that she was, that she made that documentary about, oh God, was it Tanya Tucker? I think it was Tanya Tucker.
