Hangin' Tough (Waylon Jennings album)

Hangin' Tough is a studio album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings, released on MCA Records in 1987.

The song tells the story of a wealthy, jealous banker from Macon who keeps his wife a virtual prisoner in his mansion.

A dirt road main street, she walked off in bare feet", and laments "It's a shame I won't be passing through again."

Jennings looks back to the seventies again with his reading of Gerry Rafferty's 1978 hit "Baker Street," which opens the album and substitutes a bluesy, Eric Clapton-sounding guitar solo for the original's famous saxophone tag line.

Hangin' Tough isn't a definitive Waylon album, but it will reveal its share of diamonds in the rough to hardcore fans."
