Waylon was clearly an outlaw country legend, but before he came to that, he used to play in a band led by Buddy Holly as a bass player in 1959. The turning point in his career was the Winter Dance Party Tour, for which he was hired to play by Holly. It was also his biggest break, and this rise to fame also ended up in a classic friendship between him and Holly.
