Willie Nelson
Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, actor, and activist.
 The critical success of the album "Shotgun Willie" (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of "Red Headed Stranger" (1975) and "Stardust" (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music.
 He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound.
 Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

 This was the first album for which Webb handed production and arrangement duties on to another person, George Martin, producer of The Beatles.

 Jennings also recorded the track "If You See Me Getting Smaller" for his album "Ol Waylon" (1977). The Highwaymen (country supergroup)
The Highwaymen was a country music supergroup composed of four of the genre's biggest artists well known for their pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.
 Active as a group between 1985 and 1995, these four artists recorded three major label albums as The Highwaymen: two on Columbia Records and one for Liberty Records.
 Their Columbia works produced three chart singles, including the number one "Highwayman" in 1985. Highwayman (song)
"Highwayman" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb, about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history: as a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship.
 The song was influenced by the real-life hanged highwayman Jonathan Wild.
 The dam builder verse alludes to the deaths of over one hundred men during the construction of Hoover Dam near Boulder City, Nevada.
 Webb first recorded the song on his album "El Mirage", released in May 1977.
 The following year, Glen Campbell recorded his version, which was released on his 1979 album "Highwayman".
 In 1985, the song became the inspiration for the naming of the supergroup The Highwaymen, which featured Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.
 Their first album, "Highwayman", became a number one platinum-selling album, and their version of the song went to number one on the Hot Country Songs "Billboard" chart in a twenty-week run.
 Their version earned Webb a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1986.
 The song has since been recorded by other artists.
 Webb himself included a different version on his 1996 album "Ten Easy Pieces", a live version on his 2007 album "Live and at Large", and a duet version with Mark Knopfler on 2010 album "Just Across the River". Repossessed (album)

 "Committed to Parkview", a Cash original, would be re-recorded in 1985 by Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson, collectively known as The Highwaymen, on their first album, "Highwayman"; it is one of the few country songs sung from the perspective of a patient at a mental hospital.

Rainbow is the 70th album by American country singer Johnny Cash, his last for Columbia Records, released in 1985 (see 1985 in country music).
 "I'm Leaving Now", which appeared fifteen years later as a track on Cash's "", was released as a single rather unsuccessfully, but the album's signature song is a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Here Comes That Rainbow Again", which also appeared on Cash's 1995 collaboration with Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings - known as The Highwaymen - entitled "The Road Goes on Forever", though it was sung solo by Kristofferson on the latter.
 Also included is a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
," from "Pendulum".
 The album also includes the song "Love Me Like You Used To," which was later recorded by fellow country singer Tanya Tucker, and became a country hit for her.
 Following the release of this album and a duet album with Jennings in 1986, Cash moved to Mercury Records as a result of Columbia's fading interest in his music, though he later returned to Columbia for the second Highwaymen album.
