Waylon Jennings is considered one of the pioneers of which movement in country music?

  • Bluegrass

  • Honky Tonk

  • Outlaw

  • Nashville Sound

Answer

The Outlaw movement in country music was a reaction to the Nashville Sound, which was considered to be too polished and commercial. Outlaw country artists, such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard, embraced a more raw and authentic sound, and often wrote their own songs about real-life experiences. The Outlaw movement helped to diversify country music and make it more accessible to a wider audience.
