Deep Cuts From 1971: ‘Good Hearted Woman’- Waylon Jennings. A #3 country hit for Waylon Jennings in 1971- and one of his signature songs. The song was written by Waylon and his country outlaw buddy Willie Nelson.
from wikipedia-
In 1969, while staying at the Fort Worther Motel in Fort Worth, Texas,[1] Waylon Jennings was inspired to start writing the song when he saw an advertisement on a newspaper promoting Tina Turner as a “good hearted woman loving two-timing men”, a reference to Ike Turner. Jennings went to talk to Nelson, who was in a middle of a poker game. He joined the game, and told Nelson about his idea. While they kept playing, they expanded the lyrics as Nelson’s wife Connie Koepke was writing them down.
Oh yes, I love this one. The precursor to the Waylon and Willie days and “Mama Don’t Let your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.”
Cold Lone Star beer, Armadillo’s, cocaine and country music. Those were heady times. Saint Waylon and Saint Willie.
lol..how did Willie live through it all?
I always considered the Outlaws as the punk equivalent to country music…Merle wasn’t considered one right?
No I wouldn’t put him in that movement. And I agree with you.
Im a big Waylon guy.
Loved ole Waylon!
Time for a CB take and Waylon and the boys.
