Instead of capturing a kinetic energy or intense introspection, The Road Goes On Forever just sounds studious and overlabored, as if the group wanted to produce music that lived up to their mythological legacy, not the music itself. Primary Artists Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings & 1 more. The problem is, the whole thing sounds too damn serious Was and the Highwaymen may have all the right cards, but they don't know how to play them. It has a crisp sound and a focused production, with fine performances from everyone involved. It has great material, from standards like Dallas Frazier's "True Love Travels on a Gravel Road" to contemporary favorites by Steve Earle ("The Devil's Right Hand") and Billy Joe Shaver ("Live Forever") to new cuts from all four members. In the early Nineties, he took a break from studio work to tour with supergroup the Highwaymen Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Was had previously worked with every member of the group but Johnny Cash, so he was theoretically a natural choice and, on the surface, The Road Goes on Forever has all the trappings of being the classic Highwaymen album. Discover the story behind the pioneering outlaw country music supergroup that featured Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. For their third album, The Road Goes on Forever, the Highwaymen hired Don Was to produce.
