Awww man....he was an really amazing talent. Ain't to many of them dudes left. Don Williams, Willie, Haggard, Hank Jr, David Allen Coe...who else???.....best era ever when all of them were doing their thing.
That time Kris landed a helicopter on Johnny Cashās lawn to get his attention
He's off to see the Ranger in the sky. He wrote " Sunday morning coming down" which is one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs.
Imagine drinking, smoking and partying with those dudes back in the day.
Chris le deaux another one of the great ones gone too early.
For those of you who don't know him. Look up cowboys hat and not get a tear in your eyes

A real cowboy. Unlike all these fake southern suburban musicians who make a living singing about how country the south is.
Neighbor had a lab named Cash.. love all the old school country dudes naming their dogs after the legends...makes my heart happy
A little Outlaws trivia: Waylon Jennings was a guitarist in Buddy Holly's band and was supposed to be on the plane "the day the music died". He gave up his seat to Richie Valens who was suffering from a cold and didn't want to travel on a cold drafty bus to the next gig. Different days.
We have 8 chickens. I named one of them June Carter cash. Not June, but June Carter Cash. Damn fine chicken I might add. She has contributed to many delicious omelettes. Now Dolly is kind of a slacker
Dude was a baddass Army Ranger.
Not to diminish his accomplishment but he went to Ranger school. Toughest leadership school the Army has. Being a Ranger is being in the Unit , back in his time he would have been a in a Long Range Recon Patrol unit as a Ranger. He was a Chopper pilot.
I may have told this story here before. My brother had a boss 20- 25 years ago who was a really good friends with Poodie Locke, Willie's stage manager for something like 30 years. Poodie died pretty young at 60 years old in 2009. I took the old boss and my brother bird hunting back in Nebraska a couple of times in the early 2000s. We stayed at the Big Red Motel in Laurel, Nebraska. So, anyway the old boss was around all these guys, Willie, Kris, Waylon Cash, etc. in very informal settings. He claims Waylon and Willie were always teasing Kris how he couldn't sing. Kind of a running joke just to tweak Kris.
Nothing better than farm fresh eggs. I prefer the brown ones myself although I have been told by many people there's no difference. I disagree. Brown eggs better and tend to have more yolk to white imo
Kris easily had the worst voice amongst the Highwaymen, Waylon had the biggest coke addiction, Willie literally never played on key, but with Cash added to that group, man did it work...gawd I wish I could have seen them perform....my grandpa had a custom harvest biz back in the day based out of Newton KS and to this day I remember the classic country stars on the radio's of the grain trucks, Waylon's signature wings on tbeir belt buckles...what an era.
