“The evolution of Waylon Jennings from the angry, outlaw, rebel hero of a couple of decades ago into the clear-eyed, clear-headed artist and human being he is today is unique in my experience and truly inspiring—not just because he shook off his demons and lived through it, though that is considerable, but because he has managed through loving his family to understand loving his brother. He is the most open-minded person I know.
“He has also managed to capture and hold on to one of the wildest, prettiest creatures on this planet. Jessi is his perfect partner in this spiritual flight. This is a beautiful story about one of the best human beings I have had the good fortune of knowing.”
