SUMMARY:Waylon Jennings: Littlefield's Outlaw King
DESCRIPTION:Today is the birthday of Waylon Jennings. He would be 89 today. \nWaylon Arnold Jennings was born in Littlefield\, Texas on June 15\, 1937 — a small cotton-farming town on the South Plains. He was playing on Lubbock radio by fourteen. Buddy Holly hired him as bassist for the Winter Dance Party tour in 1959. Jennings gave up his seat on the chartered plane that crashed in Iowa on February 3\, 1959\, killing Holly\, Ritchie Valens\, and the Big Bopper. He carried that weight for the rest of his life. \nThe Nashville Rules He Broke\nJennings moved to Nashville and spent years under RCA’s control — sessions musicians\, producer assignments\, strings. He hated it. In 1973\, he renegotiated his contract and gained creative control. The results came fast. Dreaming My Dreams in 1975. The collaborative album Wanted! The Outlaws in 1976 with Willie Nelson\, Tompall Glaser\, and Jessi Colter — country music’s first platinum album. “Good Ol’ Boys\,” the theme from The Dukes of Hazzard in 1980. Jennings died February 13\, 2002\, in Chandler\, Arizona. But Littlefield\, Texas still runs through every note. Learn more at the Texas State Historical Association.

SUMMARY:Kris Kristofferson: Brownsville's Poet Soldier
DESCRIPTION:Today is the birthday of Kris Kristofferson. He would be 90 today. \nKristoffer Kristofferson was born in Brownsville\, Texas on June 22\, 1936 — deep South Texas\, on the Mexican border. His father was a major general in the Air Force. Kristofferson became a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford\, then an Army Ranger and helicopter pilot\, then a Phi Beta Kappa Golden Gloves boxer. None of it held him. He gave up a military career to move to Nashville and clean floors at Columbia Recording Studios\, where he could slide demo tapes to producers between mop strokes. \nThe Songs That Changed Everything\nRoger Miller cut “Me and Bobby McGee” in 1969. Janis Joplin recorded it days before her death in 1970 and it hit No. 1 posthumously in 1971. Johnny Cash\, Rita Coolidge\, and Sammi Smith all recorded Kristofferson songs. “Help Me Make It Through the Night” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” won CMA Song of the Year back to back in 1970 and 1971. Kristofferson became a film star — A Star Is Born\, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid — without ever leaving the songwriter behind. He died September 28\, 2023\, in Maui. The Brownsville boy who swept floors changed country music forever. Learn more at the Texas State Historical Association.
