At the turn of the 1980’s, a television show was developed about a family of moonshine runners and
their adventures with the law called the Dukes of Hazzard. The narrative character of 'the Balladeer’
went to Waylon Jennings. And the job of scoring the show went to Waylon and his band, The
Waylors. During the process of archiving and unearthing Waylon’s lost studio recordings, his son
Shooter found the original recordings of lines of the Balladeer for the first two episodes of the Dukes
of Hazzard, complete with bloopers and out-takes. Shooter also found the original recordings for the
soundtrack to first season of the Dukes, produced by Richie Albright, and featuring Waylon and his
smoking backing band. Neon Orange LP.
