This episode is our version of The Avengers: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson join together to form country music's most iconic supergroup. Though they wouldn't be officially known as The Highwaymen for several more years, their version of the vignette-filled story song not only defined the group but put them all back on the charts. This week David Gborie (All Fantasy Everything, Royal Crackers, Comedy Central) returns to the pod to discuss the enduring greatness and hilariously confusing lyrics of this outlaw classic. A new bonus episode about the other supergroups and the writer behind "Highwayman" is dropping this week exclusively on our Patreon!
