The Highwaymen were a Country music supergroup composed of four of the genre's biggest artists well known for their pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.
Active between 1985 and 1995, these four artists recorded three major label albums as The Highwaymen: Country music's version of the Traveling Wilburys,
Highwayman 2 is the second studio album released by American country supergroup The Highwaymen. This album was released in 1990 on the Columbia Records label. Johnny Cash had left Columbia several years earlier, making this a "homecoming", and ultimately his final work for Columbia as the next Highwaymen album would be issued on another label.
the Highwaymen's second album clocks in at just under a mere 33 minutes and covers little new territory for the group of country legends. Sadly, of the ten tracks, only six were penned by any of the members. Even the songs included are a little light for this group of country heavyweights, and the album suffers from an overall homogenous and dated 1980s studio sound. The opening track, "Silver Stallion," was the only minor hit from the album, though Cash, Nelson, and Kristofferson make solid contributions to the album. Overall, Highwayman 2 features a decent set of rather uneventful songs, but only the most dedicated fan will find this album a necessity.
