Legends collects three discs' worth of hits, covers, and live performances from
Waylon Jennings, including "The
Taker", "Theme From the Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol' Boys)", "
Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line", "
Dreaming My Dreams With You", and a live version of "Good Hearted Woman" performed with Willie Nelson. While the set features a fair amount of Jennings' best songs - ones that he wrote as well as interpretations of others' - it also becomes weighed down by middling covers such as "
Suspicious Minds" and "
MacArthur Park". Overall,
Legends manages to be big without becoming comprehensive; a set like
Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line has a much better balance of quantity and quality.
