The Highwaymen Musical Tribute

[TheWatchman]

Notice the guy impersonating Willie and tell me that he isn't dead on. Until you see a close-up, you'd think it was him. All of them do a pretty good job.

true-very true...except the KK guy-doesn't look or sound like KK to me but overall the 4 of them are quite impressive...

[Auburn Annie]

Neat - you're right, though. "Willie" needs to be a bit thinner and more weathered; "Waylon" is the closest; KK needs more blonde/grey - he's too brunet; "Johnny"'s voice is close but needs a little more gravel. They're close enough to make you miss the real thing.

[Jesse Joe]

Very much impressive, Watchman. Especially Willie. Thank's for sharing that...Jesse

It is gone.

This is mainly directed towards Charlene,

I don't know if you've explored youtube or not, but there is a great KK video of him appearing on the Johnny Cash show performing "Pilgrim : Chapter 33" with Cash.

If this is old news to you, simply disregard.

That's one of his best songs.
This performance would be hard to top though.

Kris got emotional about making a friend of Johnny Cash...he still does that..

I fumbled thru my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt......
wow....

and another fave of mine - Dean Martin....in this clip I think Rita was preggers with Casey in 1974.

I love the way the interview notes ended, with KK's
statement :

"It’s nice when it all comes together."

Amen.

You tube got rid of Hywaymen (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6301827724?v=glance-63k-).It never stays on very long.

[TheWatchman]

Okay, try this one. Nothing tops this performance. Sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy. :)

This Mark Knopfler guy, always liked him, good guitar player also. And Eric Clapton, "Layla", unreal.
