Waylon, hands down. Then Willie. Merle Haggard wasn't really "Outlaw Country". That was more the bunch hanging out in Austin/Luckenbach in the later 70's. Willie, Waylon, Tompall Glazer, Jerry Jeff, Billy Joe Shaver, Steve Young and to some degree Townes, Guy Clark and those guys. Hank Jr. was there. DAC was more on the coattails of it. Merle was around but was doing more of his own thing.

Because he was the first to get artistic control of his own albums. He was a difference-maker.
