Title:
Waylon Jennings at JD’s
(Bat Records: BAT-1001, December 1964)
The original release of this on BAT records is worth big big bucks! It needs to be on BAT records though... right Bob Grady! Otherwise it's a re-release or a re-package
Original liner notes:
In the field of music there are various sounds, which are
often called styles. Waylon Jennings has a style which is
direct and all his own. Raised in Lubbock, Texas, he started
with a number of small bands. Waylon’s first big opportunity
was with Buddy Holly and the Crickets, which for any
entertainer is a wonderful and needed ground for experience
and training.
After leaving Buddy and the Crickets, Waylon became a part
time disc jockey along with his music career. After a time we
find Waylon in Phoenix along with his hit record “Four Strong
Winds” played on both the popular and country radio stations.
The next big step for Waylon was opening at J.D.’s the biggest
night spot in the Southwest which is unique in the fact that
it has two floors which supplies two bands simultaneously for
the listening and dancing pleasure for all taste. a rock ‘n
roll band on the bottom floor and Waylon Jennings’ country and
western on the top floor.
The style Waylon has brought to J.D.’s attracts capacity
crowds. His music is a mixture of country, rock, blues and
modern sounds.
Indeed Waylon is in a class of his own. The 12 sides are a
fine tribute to his talents. His future is bright and in
summation “Each time I witness this gentleman’s music it
becomes greater, much to my delight.”
This album was made possible by the combined effort of Waylon
Jennings and the owners of J.D.’s.
I have no doubt that this record will speak for itself. So
grab a seat or put your dancing shoes on, this will be an
experience in music that will make your listening and dancing
hours a most dellightful experience.
