DESCRIPTION:
(Waylon was supposed to be on Holly and Ritchie Valens's doomed flight.) Through it all, Terry worked on the touring crew, helped manage Waylon's career, and became one of his father's closest confidantes. Together father and son led a hard-partying lifestyle centered around music, women, and drugs. "This book is a terrific tribute, from a son to his father."---Willie Nelson"I'm so excited about Terry's new book."---Dolly PartonFrom the Foreword by Ken Mansfield"There are many stories about Waylon the family man, the creative genius man, the quiet man, the king-of-the-six-day-roar-man, the uncommon man, the legendary man, the bad-ass man they are all in this book."In a signed copy
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. That will always be one of my great regrets. We would go on to record duets, write songs, cut records and tour together for over three decades. Every country music fan, Outlaw or otherwise, should have it on their shelf."Willie Nelson"I'm so excited about Terry's new book. Waylon was a wonderful human being as well. It's authentic, it's raw, and it's unapologetic in every wayand 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. When I first heard Waylon sing the opening verse of 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' it
. Well known for his varied experience at all levels of the music industry, Terry was introduced to the business at an early age through his work as production manager for his father, Waylon Jennings. He has also worked for booking agencies, publishing companies, and as a talent scout for major label companies, including RCA Records. He lives near Waco, Texas.David Thomas is author/writer of ten books, including the New York Times
The Real Deal! A. Ayala This is a GREAT book. I hate spoilers (even tiny ones) but I can say it has been one heck of an emotional roller coaster ride. I've laughed, I've sighed, wanted to punch something (or someone), and I've cried. It's INTENSE and I can't walk away from it. Who knew the son is as great of a storyteller as his dad was a singer/songwriter. Dee. "This is an awesome book to have" according to Tezca. This is an awesome book to have! I read it all in one day and it was great learning all those new stuff about Waylon. Definitely gives you another perspective about him and one part in the story reminded me actually of an fictional character in an Aztec West story cause *SPOILERS* he had the same kinda deal with his leg as the character had. I hope he didn't get teased about it as a kid or something.Totally recommend this book 10/10. Absolutely riveting!!! I read this book in two sessions, took about 8 hoursI could not put it down. The insight and perspective puts you there as it was taking place. It was like watching a movie, and when it ended, it left me wanting morewhich is a good thing. There were a few times that I could keep the tears from my eyes. This is a MUST read. Thank you so much Terry for sharing your stories, and I hope that you can do it again because I believe there is more to share that would make your dad proud.
