“It came out of pure friendship,” she says. Rosanne Cash, Johnny’s daughter with first wife Vivian Liberto, reinforces the underlying bond of the band. It wasn’t an awkward pairing or like working with someone they didn’t know.” “Because they all came from the same ilk and knew each other and made a career together, they were all close friends. “Those guys really loved each other,” echoes Waylon’s son Shooter Jennings, who also spent some of his formative years on the road with the Highwaymen. But they came together as friends, and that’s the unifying power of the Highwaymen.” “Individually, these gentlemen had their own style, their own thoughts, their own feelings, their own emotion. And it’s the honesty and the purity of that friendship that made the Highwaymen stand out,” says John Carter Cash, who as the son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash witnessed the birth of the group firsthand. “Yes, they are the country supergroup, but it was founded by friendship. It’s a fascinating package, testament to each man’s individual output and what they were able to accomplish as a whole. There’s also a DVD/Blu-ray of that same concert. The group’s heroics on the concert stage are celebrated today with the release of The Highwaymen Live – American Outlaws, a new three-CD box set that captures the band onstage, chiefly during a 1990 show on Long Island, New York.
