Three original Waylon Jennings albums from 1969 and 1970 on a 2CD set.
The Kimberlys were a Las Vegas folk four-piece that Waylon encouraged RCA to sign. They comprised two brothers, Carl and Harold, married to two sisters, Vera and Verna.
The album was a #13 chart success and produced a Grammy award-winning hit single for ‘MacArthur Park’, a powerful Jimmy Webb song which had first become an international hit when recorded by actor Richard Harris.
Anita Carter, a great country voice in her own right, joins Waylon on three tracks in this package, two on ‘Just To Satisfy You’ and one on ‘Waylon’, the eponymous 1970 album.
One of the finest country singers of all time, Waylon Jennings ranked No. 7 in Rolling Stone magazine’s poll of 100 Greatest Country Artists. In a 37-year recording career, he achieved 100 country chart singles and 60 chart albums. Along the way, he led the “Outlaw” music movement of the mid-1970s together with Willie Nelson and Tompall Glaser. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and died of diabetes on 13th February 2002 aged 64.
