Never Say Die: The Complete Final Concert [2CD/1DVD]
Never Say Die - The Complete Final Concert
At age 63, {$Waylon Jennings} may have reached the point that he was commercially marginal, but his long hit-filled career gives him a repertoire that can make for a powerful concert set, and on this album, recorded at {~the Ryman Auditorium} in Nashville in January 2000, he demonstrates that he remains able to turn in a performance to match. This is a special show, with frequent guest-star appearances from {$Jennings}' acolytes -- {$John Anderson} ({&"Waymore's Blues"}), {$Montgomery Gentry} ({&"[I'm A] Ramblin' Man"}), {$Travis Tritt} ({&"I've Always Been Crazy"}) -- as well as his wife, {$Jessi Colter}, who gets a solo spot with her hit {&"I'm Not Lisa"} and duets with {$Jennings} on their hit {&"Storms Never Last."} In addition to the familiar material, {$Jennings} mixes in songs from his little-heard late-'90s albums, such as the title track from his 1998 collection {^Closing in on the Fire}, and covers the {\pop} hits {&"Drift Away"} and {&"Never Been to Spain."} He makes an engaging host, joking with his guests and talking to the audience, but what matters most is that his bass baritone remains sturdy, while his veteran band (which earns a co-billing) still plays his songs with authority. {$Jennings} vows that he is {&"Goin' Down Rockin',"} and if so, that's appropriate, but this album suggests there's still plenty of life in him. [{^Never Say Die} was reissued as a double-CD/one-DVD set called {^Never Say Die: The Complete Final Concert} by {@RCA}/{@Legacy} in 2007. The entire concert -- including a mini-set from {$Colter} -- is included on both the CDs and the DVDs.] ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
