This day in country music history: 1978-- Waylon Jennings was at #1 on the US country album chart with Ive Always Been Crazy. Three singles from the album hit the country charts top ten: the title reached #1 and Dont You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Got Out of Hand peaked at #5, as did Girl I Can Tell (Youre Trying to Work It Out). Dont You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Got Out of Hand was Jennings personal statement on the state of the outlaw movement, written after having been detained by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 1977 for possession of cocaine and conspiracy to distribute. Jennings was never convicted of the crime due to critical faults in the legal process against him. https://youtube/watch?v=8ecE1UML1q8
