Another powerhouse matchup in the Outlaws & Outsiders bracket

Waylon Jennings[/b]

Another artist that could easily be a 1 seed and a favorite to go deep in the field. You want swagger … Waylon's got it. You want a guy that destroyed his body … Waylon's your man. You want a guy that narrated a television show … Waylon's got that audience too.

Linda Ronstadt[/b]

To some, this may be a surprise entry in the bracket as Rondstadt's crossed over many genres throughout her career. However, her work in the 1970s was decidedly Country (rock) and produced arguably her greatest work in her career. The music is some of the most powerful to come out of that era and if you're not familiar with it, it's definitely worth a listen
 
The greatest #3 seed in the history of these shitty tournaments!

Gloves are now officially off. Waylon should win this whole thing rather easily. Otherwise, we need to burn this bored to the ground.
 
Waylon gets my vote simply because of the Dukes of Hazzard.

Ronstadt's vocals are a powerhouse but one of the things I guess I didn't realize until putting this together is how much of her stuff was really covers of others. There's a double edge sword to that because when you cover work of others it better be damn good or you get criticized for it and her stuff was damn good and in some ways took those songs as her own. But for those that really get bent out of shape at not writing your own stuff, she's not going to be a favorite for that crowd.

Waylon had a lot of covers too. But for my money, he has the best male vocals in the history of country. Better than George Jones or Johnny Cash. He had so much damned soul for a country singer.
