Good Hearted Woman
Waylon Jennings’ 1971 recording of “Good Hearted Woman” is the earliest release on file. Waylon Jennings shares the writing credit with Willie Nelson. Also recorded by Willie Nelson (released 1972), Tina Turner (released 1990) and The Everly Brothers (released 1972), among 155 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Waylon cut it first, but Willie Nelson is on the credit too, and the song kept turning up: the two of them together, The Highwaymen, even Tina Turner. Follow Willie and you'll find this tune was only one of the doors he left open.
Waylon split the credit on this one with Willie, and the song carried far enough that George Jones and even Tina Turner recorded it later. Hear Waylon's first, then let his co-writer take a turn.
