ABOUT HIGHWAYMEN:
The Highwaymen were a country music super group composed of four of the genre's biggest artists well known for their pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Active between 1985 and 1995, these four artists recorded three major label albums as The Highwaymen.
Outlaw Country Music has its roots in earlier subgenres like honky tonk and rockabilly and is characterized by a blend of rock and folk rhythms, country instrumentation, introspective lyrics, and local flavor. The movement began as a reaction to the slick production, popular structures, and commercialization of the Nashville sound developed by record producers like Chet Atkins.
