Highwayman by The Highwaymen

Highwayman was the first album by the Highwaymen, the country supergroup that put Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson in one room, with Chips Moman producing for Columbia. Four voices, each weathered its own way, and the thrill is hearing them pass the songs around like a bottle.

The title track is a Jimmy Webb ballad, and it gave the group both its name and a number one in 1985; Glen Campbell had recorded it back in 1978. Woody Guthrie's "Deportee" brings in a fifth voice, Johnny Rodriguez, singing in Spanish. It remained the group's most successful album, and the four went on to star together in the 1986 film Stagecoach.
