Well, everybody knows the story about how an unknown songwriter named Billy Joe Shaver talked the semi-famous singer Waylon Jennings into recording his songs. The result was the first "outlaw" LP

"Honky-Tonk Heroes' however, fully merits its cult status and classy reputation among knowledgeable fans

This is as good as it gets. "Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me" and "Ride Me Down Easy" are the deeply moving anthems
the wornout-shoe wisdom of "Old Five and Dimers (Like Me)." If they'd never done another record or sung or written another song, Honky Tonk Heroes would have assured Waylon Jennings and Billy Joe Shaver their places in hillbilly heaven
