The Highwaymen were a country music supergroup comprised of four icons of the genre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Known for their rugged individualism and pioneering of the "outlaw country" sound, these singers and songwriters came together in the mid-1980s to create music that celebrated defiance, freedom, and the enduring spirit of the American West.

Their combined star power drew immense attention, but it was their seamless harmonies, shared outlaw spirit, and heartfelt songwriting that resonated with fans. Some of their most famous songs include "Highwayman," "Desperados Waiting for a Train," and "The Road Goes on Forever."

The Highwaymen toured and recorded together for a decade (1985-1995), producing three major albums and leaving an indelible mark on country music. Their work paved the way for countless artists and solidified their status as true legends of the genre.
