Ol' Waylon
''Ol' Waylon'' is an album by Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Victor in 1977. It eventually became one of Jennings' highest-selling albums, due in no small part to the phenomenal success of the chart-topping "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)." It was also the singer's fourth solo album in a row to reach the top of the country charts, remaining there for thirteen weeks and becoming country music's first platinum album by any single solo artist.
==Background==
By 1977, Jennings was in the midst of his critical and commercial prime, having scored two consecutive #1 albums (1975's ''Dreaming My Dreams'' and 1976's ''Are You Ready for the Country'') and having been one of the stars featured on ''Wanted! The Outlaws'', a compilation of old RCA recordings also featuring Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and Waylon's wife Jessi Colter. It quickly became country music's first million selling LP. Along with Nelson, Jennings was on the cutting edge of what was being referred to as "progressive" country music, or outlaw country. Jennings had accomplished these feats in a remarkably short time after RCA finally allowed him to produce his own records in 1972. Almost immediately, he hit his stride with the seminal outlaw albums ''Lonesome, On'ry and Mean'' and ''Honky Tonk Heroes'', both released in 1973. He won the CMA Award for Vocalist of the Year in 1975 and Duo of the Year in 1976 with Nelson for their smash duet "Good Hearted Woman." "People came out to hear our outlaw shows like they were rock concerts," Tompall Glaser recalled in Nelson's 1988 autobiography ''Willie: An Autobiography''. "All at once we were in coliseums and stadiums, we had tractor-trailer trucks and a huge overhead."
