This Time is an album by Waylon Jennings, released on RCA Victor in 1974, at the peak of the outlaw country movement. It features slightly more laid-back compositions than Jennings' previous album, Honky Tonk Heroes. Four of the twelve songs on the album were written by Willie Nelson; all of them had been included on Nelson's Phases and Stages concept album, which was released earlier that same year. Nelson also provided vocals for This Time and co-produced the album with Jennings. The record reached #4 on the country charts, while the title track peaked at the top of the country singles charts. The liner notes for the original release were written by John L. Smith. This Time was reissued in 1999 with five bonus tracks featuring several songs famously sung by Buddy Holly; on these, Jennings was supported by The Crickets, Holly's backing band.
