Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Jr. & Jerry Reed
Live At Opryland in Knoxville, Tennessee (10/14/83)

The centerpiece of this performance is a three-song tribute to the groundbreaking country musician, Hank Williams. Helping Jennings out is Hank Williams, Jr, which makes this sequence all the more special. Interestingly, rather than pay tribute by performing Hank Williams' songs, they instead perform numbers that are all written in tribute to Williams, beginning with "The Conversation," a song written and recorded by Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr., that literally is based on a conversation between the two about Hank Williams, Sr., that would also hit big that year. The two also tackle a choice pair of songs that explore the struggle for artistic freedom and Hank Williams, with "Leave Them Boys Alone" and "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?" All three of these songs are superb performances that also serve to link the three generations of country music groundbreakers.
