Driving his Cadillac to the Glaser studio in Nashville in the mid-1970s, Waylon Jennings started jotting lines on the back of an envelope about rhinestone suits, shiny cars, and how modern country compared to the world of Hank Williams. He finished the lyric on that trip and cut the song at Hillbilly Central with producer Cowboy Jack Clement, keeping the track raw and band-driven. RCA released it in August 1975 as the first single from Dreaming My Dreams; it became his third solo No. 1 on the country chart and the A-side to “Bob Wills Is Still the King.” Over time, critics have called it a kind of outlaw-country mission statement.
Want to hear Waylon question what happened to country music in his own words?
