Two of Waylon Jennings' best albums, The Taker/Tulsa (1970) and Honky Tonk Heroes (1973), both released by RCA, were combined onto a single compact disc by Mobile Fidelity. This was a great way to pick up these classic albums, but the Mobile Fidelity release has gone out of print.

Honky Tonk Heroes gave Jennings an outlaw image, and the album is considered an important piece in the development of the outlaw sub-genre in country music.[20][21] Shaver, who is regarded as helping push forward outlaw country,feels that the album was "the touchstone of the Outlaw movement".

It had a mixed reception by the critics on release, though has gained in status and is now regarded as an important album in outlaw county. Kenneth Burns, in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, says that Honky Tonk Heroes is "one of country music's landmark albums", and points out Jenning's rock and roll roots as bass player for Buddy Holly

The Taker/Tulsa is a 1971 album by Waylon Jennings. The album includes covers of several Kris Kristofferson songs.
