    5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant and comprehensive compilation
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2011
    Verified Purchase
    'The Essential Highwaymen' is a momentous release, gathering together a vast array of material from a quartet of American music's finest - Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson & Kris Kristofferson - as well as celebrating the 25th anniversary of the country supergroup's debut in 1985. The American import edition also includes a fascinating booklet written by Rich Kienzle, documenting how the four came together and made what they made over the decades, through various collaborations, including and outside of their Highwaymen recordings.

    This is country music at it's finest. Both the words and the sound (vocal and instrumental) are deep and spine-tingling. Almost all of the songs include at least two of the Highwaymen. The 2 CDs are divided as follows: 12 official Highwaymen songs featuring all four, 15 duets, and 9 solo recordings:

    The Highwaymen songs boast fantastic musical production values and are some of the best sounding songs here - the opening two numbers, 'Highwayman' and 'Silver Stallion' are powerful and atmospheric, as is the closing song 'Live Forever'. The sound of all four, very distinct, voices singing at once meld together so perfectly. All but one of the 12 are taken from one of the 3 Highwaymen studio albums - the one that isn't, 'Desperados Waiting For A Train', is worthy of special note, as it is the only song in the album which is previously unreleased, a live version of the song performed at the 1993 Farm Aid Concert in Iowa. The duets are taken from a variety of sources. Most of Johnny and Waylon's are from Cash's albums, as well as two great songs from their 1986 release, 'Heroes'. There are a few by Willie and Kris, two from the soundtrack of their 1983 film 'SongWriter'. The rest are from Willie and Waylon, and are some of my favourites - 'Take It To The Limit', 'Just To Satisfy You' and 'Luckenbach, Texas' are absolute belters. The solo songs maybe aren't all the big hits you'd first think to include if you were going to represent them, but they were chosen specifically because of their link with other members of the group - 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', 'The Taker', 'Moment of Forever' and 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' were all penned by Kristofferson, as was 'Me and Bobby McGee', performed here by the writer himself, but has also been recorded and released by Jennings, Nelson and Cash individually over the years, and 'The Pilgrim: Chapter 33' is a song Kris wrote about his country heroes, including Johnny Cash, who also later performed it on his TV show. 'A Backstage Pass', a relatively unknown Johnny Cash song, is chosen because he mentions the other three Highwaymen in it, and finally the other 2 solos hark back to their shared roots in the music of Hank Williams, as does Johnny and Waylon's 'The Night Hank Williams Came To Town'.

    This then is a highly recommended celebration of country music's finest - a very well though out collection. In a sense, what you have here is something not dissimilar in its structure and layout to one of their live tours, such as the 'Highwaymen Live!' DVD, where they would perform a mixture of their Highwayman and duet/solo songs - only, instead of them all being played with the same backing instruments and sound, or being the 100th and 1 performance, these are the pure, genuine, chart-hitting originals, taken from decades of different albums and contexts.

    A double CD album full of fabulous country music from these four Kings of Country. There is a nice mixture of solo, duet and foursome songs, and the best tracks are the ones that have the harmonies of all four. Thankfully there are quite a few that do. This album is a must for any Country collection. Highly recommended. Five stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHWAYMEN ... ALONG THE COAST ROAD THEY DID PLAY!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2011
    Verified Purchase
    As compared with my last purchase which was insultingly billed as The Highwaymen, for which I was conned because it was not exactly as it turned out to be, several poor quality old individual recordings that were far from being up to standard. This is a proper job, as it should be -- them playing TOGETHER, both in the studio and on stage as The Highwaymen! If these four old rebellious lags can't sing country, then I don't know who can -- a recommended cross section of their work which they all obviously enjoyed. Get this, and don't bother with any other cheaper replicas. In fact I'll even go as far as to name one that just should never have been put out -- it too is titled The Highwaymen, and it's on a label called Country Stars. Avoid that totally, and some other cheapo cheapo boxed sets too, and just buy this -- or any of the newer 'official' re-issues that have been put out at a much inflated price since Johnny and Waylon died.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Two-disc collection of 36 Highwaymen songs - terrific collection
    Reviewed in the United States on 19 October 2024
    Verified Purchase
    On a 2-disc CD, this collection includes 36 songs (18 each disc).

    Its a great overview of what appears to be all the works of the four-some singers (unfortunately, only Willie Nelson is still with us), making it a true estimate to the best of American music, from the earliest days of the Highwaymen.

    ÍøÆغÚÁÏ lists the total songs - so no need to repeat. There are some very poignant songs in the collection, including some humorous pokes at themselves and others. What is also nice about the CD is the listing of Song Writers below each song listing. One sees how much of a contribution Waylon Jennings and Johnnie Cash made to great American song writing (three on the CD written by Kristofferson, one with Willie Nelson).

    Quality of reproduction is great. Including those taken from Live performances.

    Great collection!
