 A FANTASTIC CD!!! A GREAT BLEND OF 4 TREMENDOUS MUSICAL TALENTS!!! Nov 17, 2005
By ----Susan D. Fong
I just received this CD yesterday and it has not left my CD player. I LOVE all the tracks and I especially enjoyed the BONUS DVD. I miss this group so much. There will NEVER be another group like them. Their four voices blended together so BEAUTIFULLY. If you are a HIGHWAYMEN fan, you will LOVE this CD and if you are a fan of good music, I highly recommend purchasing this CD. May you RIP Johnny and Waylon.

Last of three great albums Apr 13, 2005
By Peter Durward Harris
"Pete the music fan"
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson came together as the Highwaymen in the mid-eighties to record an album and tour together. It proved so successful that they eventually recorded two more, this being the last of the trilogy. It is similar in style to the first two.
Most of the songs here are covers, often of songs that one or other of the members had written recorded as a solo artist. The set opens with a Steve Earle song, The devil's right hand, which gets the album off to a great start. I do believe (written by Waylon), End of understanding (written by Willie), Death and Hell (written by Johnny and June) and Here comes that rainbow again (written by Kris) ensure that all the members of the Highwaymen get a share of the songwriting royalties as well as the recording royalties.
Elvis once recorded True love travels on a gravel ro0ad (a Dallas Frazier song), but it's not one of his famous recordings. I like his version but I also like the Highwaymen's version. Billie Joe Shaver, who provided Waylon with most of the songs for one of his classic albums (Honky tonk heroes), wrote Live forever. Kevin Welch, who established himself as a songwriter long before making it as a singer, wrote Everyone gets crazy. Stephen Bruton wrote one song (Waiting for a long time) and co-wrote another (It is what it is). Robert Earl Keen, who eventually got the chance to record his own music, contributed the title track.
There are no real surprises here - you know who Johnny, Willie, Waylon and Kris are, you know the kind of music they record and you'll find it here. All four singers have recorded many more important albums than this but if you've already got their important music and still want more, you'll enjoy this album.

 The best of the 3, in my opinion Apr 25, 2000
I like this album. It is really over-produced, though. The song selection was very good - and the Highwaymen seem really energized on this record. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars...is the production. Too often there is so much going on musically in the song that I can't hear Waylon or Willie - and I get distracted by whatever sounds Don Was has thrown in there. As far as I am concerned, when you get this kind of talent together - you need to just get out of the way.

 +1/2 -- Misproduced shoulda-been cap to supergroup's catalog Jan 06, 2006
By hyperbolium
Waylon, Willie, Cash and Kristofferson met for this third and final collaboration in 1995, and given their proven chemistry, the presence of producer Don Was, and an outstanding selection of material, this should have been the supergroup's ultimate statement. Unfortunately, Was mired the quartet in modern arrangements that were at odds with the their aging, world-weary vocals, and have aged poorly in the intervening decade. The material often outshines the performances, with contemporary Texas classics from Earle, Shaver and Keene failing to find compelling new ground here. The artists connect most fully on their own compositions, including Jennings' gruff balance of faith, responsibility and self-determination, "I Do Believe," Cash's florid story of a visit with a New Orleans' prostitute, "Death and Hell," and Kristofferson's crufty "Here Comes That Rainbow Again."
This tenth-anniversary reissue's must-buy value is derived from the five acoustic demo bonus tracks. Listening to the legends audition songs for their compadres gives one an inkling of the album that could've been. "Live Forever" finds Cash tapping his foot as Nelson picks along to find his part, and Jennings' "I Ain't Song" is interrupted by Kristofferson's gut-busting laugh as the former sing-speaks "I ain't old and I ain't bitter, and I ain't mad at anyone." Kristofferson bangs out "Closer to the Bone" on his guitar as Cash's baritone resonates underneath, and Nelson turns "Pick up the Tempo" into a singalong. There's magic in these interpersonal relationships, it just didn't turn up on all the studio tracks. 3 stars for the original album, but an extra half-star for the bonus tracks.

The Best of the Best Jul 31, 2003
Each of the four amazing talents here blend togetehr seemlessly creating the best of The Highwaymen albums. Each singer is also showcased individually on four different songs proving that they can stand on their own as well. The singing and songwriting on this album is really heartfelt and shines through in every sense. Not a minute of wasted space on this one. If you like any of the four Johnny, Willie, Kris, or Waylon, you will love this album!
