About Highwaymen
Artist Biography
Highwaymen—the supergroup dubbed the Mount Rushmore of country music—came together when Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson joined Johnny Cash on his 1984 Christmas TV special.
∙ Cash’s guitar player, Marty Stuart, had played Glen Campbell’s cover of Jimmy Webb’s “The Highwayman” for the group—giving them their signature song.
∙ Their 1985 debut, helmed by legendary producer and songwriter Chips Moman, topped the Country chart, went Platinum, and picked up a Grammy nomination.
∙ The group’s cover of “Desperados Waiting for a Train” landed in the Top 20, at long last making an honest hit out of Guy Clark’s classic song.
∙ Highwayman 2, released in 1990, spent 40 weeks on the Country chart and was nominated for a Grammy.
∙ Kristofferson and Nelson celebrated the group at the 2013 Grammy Awards, with Merle Haggard and Blake Shelton sitting in for their late bandmates in a three-song medley.
