Waylon Jennings holds a place of honor on the West Texas Walk of Fame in Lubbock, where he learned the craft that made him country's defining outlaw.

Waylon Jennings's 1977 hit 'Luckenbach, Texas' turned a tiny Hill Country hamlet near Fredericksburg into a country music pilgrimage destination.

At Lubbock's KDAV Radio, Waylon Jennings worked for Buddy Holly, who arranged his first session in 1958 and hired him for the Winter Dance Party tour.

At 14, Waylon Jennings landed his first radio show on KVOW in Littlefield — the gig that set him on a path to reshape country music.

Waylon Jennings was born on June 15, 1937, near Littlefield, Texas — the West Texas town whose water tower still proclaims his name.
