Waylon The Taker/Tulsa Mar 20, 2008
By C. H. Lee
I bought this so I could have a copy of Lovin' Her Was Easier without the audience applause that's on the Waylon Live-Expanded Edition version. Surprise, Waylon's voice is more mellow on this version, not the rough edge baritone I expected. It's still good, just different from the concert version. For me, the real gem on this CD is Grey Eyes You Know. Waylon's voice is outstanding on this one. The plaintive tone at the end is so realistic you'd think he's actually standing next to "this mound of clay" on the day he's had to bury his lifelong love. Why was this omitted from the Waylon Sings Love Songs collection?

ONE OF WAYLON'S BEST Sep 13, 2010
By Hinch
I grew up on Elvis, The Beatles and mostly 60s rock. Other than Hank Williams, I didn't care much for country music.
Not only is THE TAKER/TULSA the first album I bought by Waylon Jennings, it's also the first country album I ever bought. When I heard "Mississippi Woman" on the radio, I became an instant Waylon fan. His strong voice is what amazed me. I still have the original vinyl copy I bought when it was released in February 1971. I was also fortunate enough, that same year, to see him in concert for the first of many times throughout his career.
I can't say there's one song I like better than the others, because every song is great. Of course 4 or the songs, including "The Taker", were written by Kris Kristofferson.
In 1972 Waylon would release the albums GOOD HEARTED WOMAN and LADIES LOVE OUTLAWS which along with LONESOME ON'RY AND MEAN, released in 1973, would establish him as the leader of the so called outlaw country movement.

 An early classic May 09, 2008
By Mike W. Sheets
Waylon was just starting to look and sound like the world's greatest outlaw when he made this album. A must have for Hossheads.

Waylon The Taker/Tulsa!! Mar 02, 2008
By Dakota Springs
"Dakota"
Hey all you Hossheads, it's about time this came out on cd. I have the album which I always thought was 1 of Waylon's best. If ya don't have the cd, Amazon does, ya better order it now, and ya can't beat the price. There is still a lot of Waylon's that need to come out on cd, hopefully if the good lord is willin & I'm stll around, & Amazon keeps up the good work, we'll see a lot more to order. Thanks To Amazon!! Rich!! Buy the cd, youwon't go wrong.
Prompt and great service Feb 25, 2011

Waylon's repertoire sure spanned a wide gammut that's hard to categorize or pigeonhole, but let me climb out on a limb here. I say that the darkest song he ever recorded, probably made during his times with some drugs, was "Memories of You And I" (on 'From The Ramblin' Man'). I never tire of it.
Now the angriest one of them all might be on this album. "Don't Let The Sun Set On You In Tulsa" is an overlooked 70s hit featuring the greatest steel picker of all time, Ralph Mooney. If nothing else done on this album was worth a hoot, "Tulsa" is all it needs.
