The Highwaymen - "Highwayman" Live (1990)
Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson perform the Jimmy Webb song "Highwayman" live. Filmed in March 1990 at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum. A 1985-2002 country music supergroup.
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide. I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still.
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and around and around
I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again |

I'm surprised by the lovefest here. Individual talents out the ass but this song is just silly.

Yikes! It's like the Traveling Wilburys of country. More super-group stuff that comes out sounding like easy listening. Maybe we could get John Tesh to collaborate with Kenny G . . .

So is this Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash?!!? I'm so confused....
Edit: I'm a moron, I see them in the top of the album now and Bill just told us as well.

Waylon's voice sounds great, though.

I like Kristofferson. He excels at just about everything he does. He's a very good at acting, writing, piloting helicopters and probably several other things he's tried. But his singing voice is just flat. Another poster mentioned Willie's voice bringing this group down. I disagree. It's Kristofferson's voice.

I love all of these guys, and they definitely deserve their legendary status... but they could have done so much better than this song - it doesn't reflect their collective greatness.

It's interesting to hear Cash' voice lent to a different song style.

Yeah. I can dig PURE country music but this is the kind of commercial tripe that paints all of C&W with a crappy brush.
I know these guys are legends but...well, when I listen to the new Johnny Cash "Legend" CD this is the one track I skip past. Blech. |

Very true forge. I am not generally into country music - but this was great to listen to this morning. Almost as good as my beloved prog rock and celtic music!
Hey - I just noticed on Amazon.com that there is a DVD of this same gathering of great singers. Click here for the DVD version.(Or go here for just the CD version.) |

Does anyone know if that is Mark Knopfler playing electric guitar on this track? Sounds a lot like his style.
