Lonesome On’ry & Mean by the country star Waylon Jennings is considered a landmark album. Here he broke away from the packaged Nashville countrypolitan sound to produce what became known as outlaw music.
“A classic, one of the first true outlaw country albums and what a way to start things off. This album is a great introduction for those uninitiated with country music.”
“Waylon has a personality that shines through, and one that's endlessly inspiring and courageous. Although not a masterpiece, it's still very good.”
“About half the songs on this album were recorded before Waylon renegotiated his RCA contract, and the other half afterwards. Thus this could be considered his first true outlaw album; that is, the first one on which Waylon called his own shots. Regardless, the bottom line is that this record offers up some terrific songs.”
“Another Waylon masterpiece featuring the classic title track. There are absolutely no bad tracks on this album. Waylon is an absolute master and this is the album that let the world know it.”
“Lonesome On'ry & Mean was the album on which Waylon decisively broke away from the Nashville sound and started to define what outlaw music was about. Waylon was moving into uncharted territory, and a sound which I can only describe as the sound of raw freedom echoes from the Telecaster snarl of the first track.”
“This is the album where Waylon begins to break away from the packaged country sound towards his own style. Although he doesn't make a clean break, there are some songs that show his talent and what is to come. Of course, Lonesome On'ry & Mean is the ultimate Waylon song. “An amazing album that I'm proud to own. Each and every song is an instant classic. Waylon is in his prime here.”
