Our Take

The Highwaymen may have been a supergroup of country music legends, but their latest compilation, "The Essential Highwaymen," is a mixed bag of dusty gems and forgettable tunes. Opening with the iconic track "Highwayman," the album kicks off with a bang, showcasing the vocal prowess of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Their harmonies blend together effortlessly, transporting listeners to the open road with tales of adventure and hardship. However, as the album progresses, the energy seems to wane. Tracks like "Silver Stallion" and "Angels Love Bad Men" feel like filler, lacking the spark that made The Highwaymen so legendary in the first place. That being said, there are still some standout moments on the album. "The Road Goes on Forever" is a rollicking ode to life on the road, while "Desperados Waiting for a Train" showcases the storytelling prowess of each member. Overall, "The Essential Highwaymen" is a solid addition to any country music lover's collection, but it falls short of capturing the magic of The Highwaymen at their peak. So, hop in your pick-up truck, crank up the volume, and enjoy the ride – just be prepared for a few bumps along the way.
