It chronicles all the chapters of Jennings's incredible life, including his beginnings as a dirt-poor son of a farm laborer; his role as Buddy Holly's protégé; his influential friendships with such luminaries as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and George Jones; the stunning success ushered in by his platinum 1976 anthology album, \u003ci\u003eWanted: The Outlaws\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethe drug habit that nearly destroyed him; and his three failed marriages and the journey that lead him to Jessi Colter, the woman who would become his wife for 25 years. With anecdotes, portraits, and little-known facts about Jennings's fellow country music stars, this book overflows with the honesty, true humor, and down-home charisma of an authentic honky-tonk hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWaylon Jennings\u003c\/b\u003e was an American country music singer, songwriter, and musician. \u003cb\u003eLenny Kaye \u003c\/b\u003eis an acclaimed music writer whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eCrawdaddy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCreem\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Hit Parader\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the author of \u003ci\u003eYou Call It Madness: The Sensuous Song of the Croon \u003c\/i\u003eand has been playing guitar for Patti Smith since 1971.
