Big Al Owens visits Waylon Jennings' hometown in Texas The big rig trucker/storyteller Big Al Owens frequently shares stories from the road. This one was written about a stop at the home of famous singer, songwriter Waylor Jennings (1937-2002) where James and Helen Jennings keep the legend alive. By Allen (Big Al) Owens I had the pleasure of chatting with James Jennings, brother of country music outlaw and legend Waylon Jennings in their hometown of Littlefield, Texas. Littlefield is a very small community in northwestern Texas, located about 25 miles from Lubbock. Buddy Holly started his band there and a young Waylon was his bass player. As fate would have it he gave up his ride and the world was spared from losing Waylon the day the music died -- when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper J.P. Richardson died in a plane crash in that Iowa cornfield. I was enthralled sharing stories, and listening to James and his first wife Helen. They have been married for almost 50 years, but he still refers to her as his 1st wife.
