Waylon Jennings (1937-2002) fue un reputado músico de country. Comenzó su carrera a finales de los 50 en la banda de acompañamiento de Buddy Holly (The Crickets).
Fue uno de los máximos exponentes -junto a su amigo Willie Nelson- del movimiento outlaw, que dentro del género trataba de plantar cara al mainstream popero y mercantilista que se hacía a finales de los 70 en Nashville.
Los 70 fueron su época dorada, con éxitos como "You asked me too" o "Luckemback, Texas".
