Kris was a Rhodes scholar and movie star who had scored several hits on the pop charts. Willie was the wise pot-smoking hippie guru. Waylon was the outlaw rebel/good ol’ boy with the rock’n’roll attitude. They had so much fun that they decided to record together when they got back to the states.Īlthough the four Highwaymen were longtime friends who always admired and respected each other, they each had strong, independent, highly individualistic personalities and musical outlooks. They spent a lot of time jamming together when not filming.

There was no marketing guy who came and said, ‘This will be a good idea.’” The idea originated in 1984, when the four men were in Switzerland filming a Johnny Cash Christmas TV show. In the words of Rosanne Cash, John’s daughter, the Highwaymen “came out of pure friendship. Since the deaths of Jennings, in 2002, and Cash, in 2003, Nelson and Kristofferson have gotten together from time to time to play music. All four men had been friends for decades prior to their musical collaboration, and their friendships and occasional musical partnerships continued after the supergroup disbanded. When the Highwaymen performed concerts, they often mixed in their solo material with that of the group on stage. They released three studio albums between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s: Highwayman (1985), Highwayman 2 (1990), and The Road Goes On Forever (1995). The Highwaymen were a “supergroup” of four country-music giants-Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson.
