Highwaymen Article
Johnny Cash, Kris Kristoferson,
Willie Nelson, And Waylon Jennings – collectively known as the, Highwaymen
are packing in the crowds in Asia. On the tail end of an Australian tour
that wound through Southeast Asia in late November, The Highwaymen played to
5,000 people in Singapore and 4,000 in Bangkok, Thailand according to Judy
Seale, a booking agent at Nashville – based Refugee International, who
preformed shows in the Orient since 1998, those audience attendance figures
are astronomical. Garth Brooks couldn’t draw those numbers in the Pacific
Rim, Says Seale. “he’s not well-known enough in that part of the world.
One member of the country super group who is equally surprised and flattered
at his popularity is Willie Nelson. “All I ever hoped for when I started
in country music is to be popular in the next state, let alone another
continent”, The Texas legend says.
