A couple of months ago, I had the joy of talking to the wonderful Whey Jennings on Gypsy Poet Radio. Let me tell ya, this guy is a joy to talk to with stories only a riveting biography could fill and give some of the New York Times Bestsellers a run for their money one day! He is the eldest grandson of Outlaw Country Music Legend, Waylon Jennings and he is taking the world by storm! When I first heard the thunderous sound of his voice, I got a charge up my spine that would make the lightning during a Texas thunderstorm seem like a light bulb! With a touch of Bowie-knife sharp wit and a teaspoon of sweet, Southern charm that makes sugar seem plain, WOW! He is truly a haunting reminder of his Outlaw granddaddy, voice and all! Here is the interview that I just could not wait to bring to the world...
