Favorite country singer of all time... Hank Williams... Well, then there's Willie Nelson. Can I have three? I can't do one. Then if I have three, I'll need five. Hank Williams for sure. Willie Nelson. Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.

Rodney Crowell

I grew up with the Highwaymen, which was Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Mom and Dad rode rodeo, so country music was always in the house and the car. They threw in some Dolly Parton, too.

Christian Kane

Elvis was a way bigger influence than Waylon Jennings, but you don't wanna tell people, 'I never really listened to Waylon.'

Sturgill Simpson

I realized that I could try to sound like Waylon Jennings, or I could try to be like Waylon Jennings... but it's impossible to do both.

Sam Hunt

You never hear a country-western station saying 'We have old school artist Willie Nelson in the house.' They say 'We have the legendary Willie Nelson.'

Big Daddy Kane

Waylon Jennings and I had a lot of fun recording together.

Willie Nelson

I had admired Waylon [ Jennings], but I never expected to meet him and get to know him. When I finally moved to Nashville years later, one night I went to a Harlan Howard Guitar Pull thing, and there was Waylon. He started talking about how much he loved my work and how great I was, and I couldn't even get a word in.

Steve Young

I'll never get tired of being told I sound like Waylon Jennings, but I don't hear it myself.

Sturgill Simpson

Once Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings are not cool on country radio, it's time for a new format.

Steven Van Zandt

I miss him already. He was a unique person and a dear friend. If a record came on the radio, you'd know it was Waylon Jennings.

Glen Campbell

Collaboration is a vital part of my creative life. I've had success with Guy Clark and Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash.

Rodney Crowell

I always loved Willie Nelson, but I loved the songs that Willie made famous.

Shane McAnally

Michael Phelps and Willie Nelson are teaming up to do an album. ... They're covering The Doobie Brothers.

Reba McEntire

I had always loved music. I grew up listening to classic country, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard. My dad loved Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley. So I kept going to class and started getting totally into playing guitar and teaching myself these songs.

Jake Owen

I love polished pop music, but stuff like Neil Young's Crazy Horse vibe or Waylon Jennings, that stuff is raw and real.

Kurt Vile

I did recording sessions as a musician as well as a background vocalist and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember singing harmony with Waylon Jennings on a few songs that were hits. Chet Atkins always put me up so high that I strained to hit every note. It was a lot of fun.
