Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'WWII' was released in October 1982, Waylon Jennings had already established himself as a key figure in the outlaw country movement. This album came after his commercial peak in the late 1970s and followed the critically acclaimed 'Waylon Live'. The shift towards more introspective themes marked an evolution in his artistry at this stage.
