I think that song is actually on his 1980 album Music Man which also includes the theme from The Dukes of Hazzard. I like Waylon's version but still prefer Buffett's. I also think Willie Nelson did a good job of covering Railroad Lady on his To Lefty From Williealbum, his tribute to country great Lefty Frizzel.phjrsaunt wrote:Another wonderful version of "He Went to Paris" is performed by Waylon Jennings on a cd called "Ladies Love Outlaws." I'm "this" close to liking it better than Jimmy's verison.

He also wrote another my favorite Buffett covers, Biloxi.sonofabeach wrote:Walyon also covered "Defying Gravity" although it's not a Jimmy original.
It was written and recorded by Jesse Winchester.
Speaking of Jesse a couple of archvial records of his have just been released:
He also has a message on his web site about some illegal recordings that have hit the market for sale that he is none too happy about:

I really do not know much of Jesse's music but after Jimmy did Jesse's "Gentleman Of Leisure" at a solo benefit a few years back, I got a copy of Jesse's original. Great song and "if" Jimmy were to cover another Jesse song I'd like to hear his take on it with the band.
all I have to do is dreeeeeeaaaaaam
(insert name here) and the Gentlemen Of Leisure would also be a good band name

Jesse's music is definitely worth checking out. I only have a couple of his albums myself but I like 'em a lot.
Speaking of another artist Buffett (and Jerry Jeff) has covered, I just learned Keith Sykes is not only going to be playing a house concert here (NC) but he's opening for John Prine in Charlotte and Greensboro as well.

It's from a movie called "Executioners Song".
It's also on a Waylon cd called Hangin' Tough
There's a sample of it here
