Jennings formed the band in 1961, consisting of Jerry Gropp on the guitar and Richie Albright on the drums after moving to Phoenix, Arizona. The band earned a local fan base during its appearances on the night club JD's. In 1965 RCA Records signed Jennings to a contract. The conservative restrictions of the producers of the label did not allow him to record with the Waylors. In 1972 he renegotiated his contract, and he included the Waylors for the first time on a RCA album in Honky Tonk Heroes. The lineup was expanded during the next decade, they backed Jennings until his death in 2002. Reformed in 2008, the group performs on its own with Tommy Townsend as their lead vocalist, with occasional performances as the band for Albright's namesake son of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings. BackgroundWaylon was being managed by Buddy Holly's former first manager 'Hi-Pockets' Duncan who recommended Waylon to Buddy. With money out of his own pocket, Buddy produced Waylon's first record, a Rock & Roll version of 'Jolie Blon' & Waylon is considered to be Buddy's 'protoge'. In 1959 Buddy Holly hired Waylon Jennings to play electric bass for him during his "Winter Dance Party Tour".{{sfn|Carr|Munde|1997|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q2QhJf4jR0C&lpg=PT166&dq=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&pg=PT166#v=onepage&q=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&f=false 155]}} After a show in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly chartered a plane for himself, Allsup and Jennings to avoid a long bus trip to Fargo, North Dakota. This is because the tour organizers provided very inadequate transportation & the buses broke down in freezing weather. Jennings gave up his seat to J. P. Richardson, who was suffering from a cold and complaining about how uncomfortable a long bus trip was for a man of his size.[1] During the early morning hours of February 3, 1959, later known as The Day the Music Died, the charter crashed outside Clear Lake, killing all on board.{{sfn|Everitt, Rich|2004|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=H4TSH_b7IHYC&lpg=PA18&dq=%22I%20hope%20your%20ol'%20bus%20freezes%20up%22&pg=PA18#v=onepage&q&f=false 18],[https://books.google.com/books?id=H4TSH_b7IHYC&lpg=PA19&dq=%22I%20hope%20your%20ol'%20bus%20freezes%20up%22&pg=PA19#v=onepage&q&f=false 19]}} Jennings and Allsup continued the tour for two more weeks, featuring Jennings as the lead singer.{{sfn|Carr|Munde|1997|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q2QhJf4jR0C&lpg=PT166&dq=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&pg=PT166#v=onepage&q=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&f=false 155]}} When the tour ended, he returned to his DJ spot on KLLL and performed regionally.[2] Phoenix and the Nashville soundIn 1961, Jennings lived briefly in Coolidge, Arizona working in radio, before moving to Phoenix, where he formed The Waylors, consisting in Jerry Gropp on the guitar and Richie Albright on the drums.{{sfn|Carr|Munde|1997|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q2QhJf4jR0C&lpg=PT166&dq=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&pg=PT167#v=onepage&q&f=false 156]}} Jennings and his band performed at a newly opened nightspot called JD's. The band earned a small fan base, eventually signing with the independent label Trend Records. In 1963, Jennings signed a contract with A&M Records.{{sfn|Carr|Munde|1997|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q2QhJf4jR0C&lpg=PT166&dq=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&pg=PT167#v=onepage&q&f=false 156]}}[3] Jennings and The Waylors recorded an album on BAT called Waylon at JD's.[4] Singer Bobby Bare, who covered Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds" and Jenning's "Just To Satisfy You", recommended Jennings to producer Chet Atkins, who signed Jennings to RCA Victor in 1965.{{sfn|Wolff|Duane|2000|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=3Jorozp1yp4C&lpg=PA360&dq=Four%20Strong%20Winds%20%20Just%20To%20Satisfy%20You%20phoenix&pg=PA360#v=onepage&q&f=false 360]}} Jennings was accustomed to performing and recording with his own band, The Waylors; a practice that was not encouraged by powerful Nashville producers that instead used session musicians. Over time, however, Jennings felt limited by the Nashville sound's lack of artistic freedom.{{sfn|Petrusich|2008|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=5w9nVLtRSgwC&lpg=PA105&dq=waylon%20jennings%20Nashville%20sound&pg=PA105#v=onepage&q&f=false 105]}} The music style publicized as "Countrypolitan" was characterized by orchestral arrangements, and the absence of traditional country music instruments.{{sfn|Carr|Munde|1997|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q2QhJf4jR0C&lpg=PT166&dq=Waylon%20Jennings%20KLLL&pg=PT167#v=onepage&q&f=false 156]}} By 1972 he renegotiated his contract with RCA, that gave him complete creative control over his works. {{sfn|Petrusich|2008|p=106}} For the recording session, Jennings replaced the typical studio musicians of Nashville sessions with his band.{{sfn|Shaver, Billy Joe; Reagan, Brad|2005|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=3El-QOG2SEgC&lpg=PT55&dq=honky%20tonk%20heroes%20waylon&pg=PT56#v=onepage&q&f=false 35]}}{{sfn|Reid, Jan|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=SCwEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA213&dq=%22honky%20tonk%20heroes%22&pg=PA213#v=onepage&q=be%20spears&f=false 213]|1976}}{{sfn|Glaser, Dennis|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=shtTSA79AecC&lpg=PA149&dq=%22Shaver%20are%20the%20first%20of%20the%22&pg=PA148#v=onepage&q&f=false 148]|2011}} Later yearsBy the 1980s the lineup included the additions of Ralph Mooney from The Strangers, Johnny Gimble, Rance Wasson, Gordon Payne, Jerry Bridges, Barney Robertson and Carter Robertson.[5] {{anchor|Waymore Blues Band}}Mooney retired in 1996 and was initially replaced by Fred Newell, an established Nashville studio player, followed by Robby Turner, who Waylon first worked with as part of the Highwaymen touring band. The band backed Jennings until 1999 when he formed a short-time project, The Waymore Blues Band, which was Jennings' "hand-picked dream team." Waymore Blues Band backed him until his death.{{anchor|Waymores Outlaws}} Now known as Waymore's Outlaws, the band continues today, with Tommy Townsend as lead guitar and vocalist. In 2014, the Outlaws came full circle by playing with Waylon's son and Richie Albright's namesake Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings for the first time on tour.[6]References1. ^Texas Monthly, January 1988; [https://books.google.com/books?id=AyoEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA103&dq=Big%20Bopper%20%20waylon%20coin%20flip&pg=PA103#v=onepage&q&f=false p.108] Web site of the current band.{{Waylon Jennings}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Waylors}}2. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/waylon-jennings-dead-at-sixty-four-20020214|title=Waylon Jennings Dead at Sixty-four|author=Dansby, Andrew|date=February 14, 2002|accessdate=November 1, 2011|work=Rolling Stone|publisher=Wenner Media LLC}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://allmusic.com/artist/waylon-jennings-p1663/biography|title=Waylon Jennings - Biography|work=Allmusic|publisher=Rovi Corporation|author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas}} 4. ^Country Music Foundation; p.53 5. ^{{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GyUEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PT46&dq=%22Mooney%22%20waylors&pg=PT46#v=onepage&q=%22Mooney%22%20waylors&f=false|title=Talent in Action|work=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://theboot.com/shooter-jennings-waymores-outlaws-tour-dates-2014/|work=The Boot}} 4 : American country music groups|1961 establishments in Arizona|Musical groups from Arizona|Musical quartets |
