Episode 56 Published 4 weeks ago
Description

Waylon Jennings didn't just sing songs about being an outlaw. He genuinely became one.

In this week's Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake discuss the life and legend of Waylon Jennings, who went from small-town disc-jockey to Buddy Holly's bandmate to one of country's greatest rebels.
