In 1976 he released the album Wanted! The Outlaws with Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and Jessi Colter, the first platinum country music album. The success of the album was followed by Ol' Waylon, and the hit song “Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love).” By the early 1980s, Jennings was struggling with a cocaine addiction, which he quit in 1984. Later he joined the country supergroup The Highwaymen with Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash. During that period, Jennings released the successful album Will the Wolf Survive.

Country singer Chris Scruggs has recounted: “One time when I was a little kid and my mom was in the studio, I was sitting in the lounge just watching television, and this guy walked in, this kinda shaggy-lookin’ guy, and I was watching Sesame Street and he said “Hey, do you like Big Bird?” and I said “Yeah!” and he said, “You know in the Sesame Street movie I was an actor and I picked up Big Bird when he was hitch-hiking” and I went “Wow, that’s so incredible!” It wasn’t until I was, like, 20 that I realized that was Waylon Jennings. You don’t realize that they’re a different experience until you step outside Nashville or you talk to people who aren’t from here, or didn’t grow up around the music industry that you realize that you had an unusual and wonderful childhood.” When Jennings went on concert tour, Caroll Spinney was invited to travel with him on the tour bus, and Spinney would join him on stage with Oscar the Grouch. One time, for the benefit of the audience, Oscar asked Jennings, "What's the best thing about Garth Brooks? [beat] He's not here!"
