About this episode

Today, emergent honky tonk hero Alicia Blue joins me to talk about her hero Waylon Jennings and his seminal album from 1975, 'Dreaming My Dreams'. We talk about how Waylon puts himself in the context of his country forebears with songs like 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?', 'Bob Wills Is Still The King' and 'Waymore Blues', the outlaw movement and how artists like Waylon and Willie reinvented themselves after the earlier Nashville chapters of their careers, how Alicia navigated bringing Waylon's influence into her own Shooter Jennings produced new album, the different interpretations of the meaning of 'Bob Wills Is Still The King' and much more.
