Waylon Jennings Country Quotations

And the whole thing is that you're treated like a step-child. Here it was down here, everything in the black, because they were stealing, basically. Stealing from us old country boys down here.

Country music isn't a guitar, it isn't a banjo, it isn't a melody, it isn't a lyric. It's a feeling.

I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.

We got a lot of politicians up there on Capital Hill. Ain't it funny how they prosper while the country stands still?

The only problem was I needed to use my own group, and things didn't happen until I did. It wasn't a real country sound, what I did. I've listened to it, and I think it was more a west coast rock thing, you know? But it fit. It was country, but it was my own interpretation of country.
