WANTED! THE OUTLAWS
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The CD, "WANTED! The Outlaws" is by far one of the best albums (later turned CD) ever made! It stars Waylon Jennings, Jessi Coalter, Willie Nelson, and Tompaul Glazer and was first recorded in the 1970's.
In 1976, when this album hit the charts, it really knocked the socks off of many Executives of Nashville Record Companies, and it got the attention it deserved as it proclaimed its independence from the normal rules and control that the record companies had had for years over the Country Singers. This is exactly what the so-called "Outlaw Movement" was looking for - they just wanted to do their own music in their own way!!! When this album was introduced, people & fans just loved the new "outlaw" sound -- and to begin with even Waylon & Willie probably didn't realize just what an impact one album would go on and change the course of Country Music!
Twenty years later, they came out with the "WANTED! The Outlaws - 20th Anniversary Edition" in 1996, with the addition of nine (9) newer songs!!! How many albums get the opportunity to have the opportunity of a "20th Anniversary Edition" CD -- not many -- but this CD has continued to be one of the most collectible CDs in Country Music!!! Waylon and Willie had paved the way for many of todays "newest outlaws" in Country Music, i.e., Hank Williams, Jr., Montgomery-Gentry, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich, Kid Rock (who would have ever thought he'd be a part of this?!), just to name a few! ha!
Congratulations Willie, for believing in your music! -- Keep it going Jessi & Tompaul! -- and Waylon, we miss you dearly, but please know that your music will forever live in the hearts of us die-hard Country Music Fans!!!
