WAYLON JENNINGS - The Chokin' Kind [Alternate Version]

The Chokin' Kind [Alternate Version]
written by Harlan Howard

Omni’s 2010 compilation "The Dark Side of Fame" provides a valuable service in offering an alternate history of Waylon Jennings’ pre-outlaw recordings for RCA, bypassing the hits and attempting to fit within Nashville’s constraints in favor of his progressive country, including several productions by Lee Hazlewood. Some of this stuff is a little overheated but much of it is quite wonderful, as Waylon takes detours through folk, soul, baroque pop, and psychedelia, all the while never calling attention to his eclecticism. Some of these grand flourishes would never be heard on his outlaw records, but these underappreciated late-‘60s/early-‘70s cuts share a similar adventurous spirit and prove that far from being a barren wasteland, Waylon’s pre-outlaw recordings were quite rich indeed.
