Who were The Highway Men? The Highway Men united Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson for a collaborative run that reshaped country music in the 1980s. Their debut, Highwayman (1985), topped the US country charts with the title track reaching No. 1 in 1985. The group followed with Highwayman 2 (1990) and The Road Goes on Forever (1995). A live album, Live: American Outlaws (1986), and several compilations—The Very Best of the Highwaymen (2016) and The Essential Highwaymen (2010)—kept their music alive for fans long after their peak. Awards include Grammy recognition for Best Country Song in 1986 for the title track “Highwayman,” awarded to the writers and performers involved, with Jimmy Webb contributing as the songwriter on the piece.

Today, 2025 tribute shows celebrate the group’s influence with lineups honoring the classic quartet. All shows listed are tribute performances and not the original act.
