The Highwaymen [Country Stars]

This seems like such an attractive deal, a single disc, in a slipcase, a budget price, and a whopping 26 tracks. The problem is that this supergroup -- Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson -- who took stages the world over by storm and recorded two commercially successful albums, are never here together. This is merely a sampling of tracks by the individuals, either from their studio recordings or performed live in front of uncredited audiences. In other words, this is simply a a dubious offering designed to snag your hard-earned cash without giving you even remotely what you think you're getting in the bargain. Even the live cuts by Willie or Cash or Waylon are from very dubious (i.e. bootlegged) sources. Avoid this one at all costs.
