Their names are as recognizable as any in music history. They
were songwriters, singers, guitarists, and distinctive characters – each man a
strong personality. All four were stars in their own right, and they joined
forces to make music in one of the most unique collaborations we have ever
seen. Such a collection of talent could have been a disaster with ego clashes,
but these guys were friends first, and apparently, they each checked their egos
at the door whenever they performed together. As a group they called themselves
‘The Highwaymen’ – Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris
Kristofferson.
