Hailing from Tampa, Florida, and wielding as many as three lead guitarists at a time, the Outlaws are perhaps one of the least likely bands to be deemed worthy of a major-label retrospective CD. Though supremely competent, the band is completely indistinguishable in both style and substance from earlier and better known acts of southern rock's golden age: Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Green Grass & High Tides culls 16 tracks from the five studio albums the Outlaws recorded between 1975 and 1980, including their two minor hits, "There Goes Another Love Song" and "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." Recommended for southern-rock diehards only. --Roni Sarig

Underrated Southern Rockers -- worth a listen.......2007-05-14

For those of you who aren't old enough to remember, the Outlaws were arguably more popular than Lynyrd Skynrd in the heydey of southern rock (1975 - 1980). Skynyrd's unfortunate demise led to them being canonized, though they certainly had several wonderful songs to justify it.

The Outlaws' first 3 Albums (Self-titled, Lady In Waiting, Hurry Sundown) were amazing LP's and this "Best of" CD captures most of their high notes. Its missing a few great tunes (Holiday from Hurry Sundown immediately comes to mind) but overall is a good survey of their music.

The quality of their music tailed off quickly after Hurry Sundown -- partially due to Henry Paul leaving, but probably due to burnout on several levels. Billy Jones was an amazing guitarist with a unique voice, on par with Neil Young. Its too bad he wasn't with us longer.

These guys were the 'metal band' of the Southern Rock area, so if you enjoy loud guitars and Skynrd-esque music, this CD is for you.

heaven.......2007-02-28

This CD brings back such great memories,..I am almost in a different world when I hear "Green Grass & High Tides". This is some great stuff,..if you are into this kind of southern rock,..you'll love this. I have almost every Outlaws LP record,..but I can't play records in my car,.so I had to get this CD. Not disappointed.

Short on quantity, despite quality that is present........2007-02-14

This CD is loaded with lots of Outlaw favorites. I happen to be one who has always found "Waterhole" and "Knoxville Girl" relatively unappreciated on the grand scale of Outlaw songs, and their presnce on this CD is a must. The same can be said about Outlaw anthems "Green Grass and High Tides; There Goes Another Love Song" and "Freeborn Man." But this collection has gone further in years to dig up other favorites. I was delighted to see "Take It Any Way You Want It; You Are The Show" and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" represented. But perhaps a more up to date collection is in order. Granted, the band see-sawed line-up wise in it's latter years, as did the subsequent music they produced. But "Hurry Sundown" alone is worthy of more representation on this CD. The late 70s saw the remaining bands of both southern rock and the California sound (Eagles/ Poco, etc.) hit their zenith in production and music produced. It's no coincidence to some degree, as "Hurry Sundown's" producer did the same for the Eagle's "Hotel California" resulting in more refined, streamlined music that had crossover appeal. And "Hurry Sundown's" "Holiday; So Afraid" and "Heavenly Blue" each are worthy of being present on a conmprehensive Outlaws collection, as are cuts from future CDs like "Los Hombres Malo" and "In The Eye of the Storm," though they may be fewer in number. But, this is a best of CD. And to accomplish what I feel is necessary, an anthology is in order. The Outlaws may not have ranked up there with the Allmans, the Skynards or the Tuckers in mass appeal. But they did have quite a run for what many consider a not as consequential southern rock band. And their life span is certainly worthy of an anthology to be a more truly comprehensive look at a band that left its mark.

Southern Rock you wouldn't understand, Dr. Bombay !!.......2006-12-27

No New American from India should ever be allowed to review Southern Rock or any Rock CD...I saw the Outlaws and ZZ Top in Roanoke,VA in 1977 and they brought the house down with every song and actually commanded the same applause as that lil' ole band from Texas did later that night !! and outside of a few songs in five albums wrote all of their own material...The Outlaws were truly electric in more ways than one and the new digitally remastered songs sound better than ever !! only real radio stations play the deep cuts and " Ghost Riders in the Sky " fits the bill for high fidelity sound !! Yep , it's a Southern Rock thing , Dr. Bombay ,you wouldn't understand !!!

Good memories.......2006-12-06

I saw the Outlaws live twice in the early eighties and had a great time at both shows. This album is just plain fun to listen to and brings back some very fond memories.

Less successful when it's sentimental (Waylon Jennings' "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys") than when it's wry (Willie Nelson's myth-puncturing "Me and Paul"), this cash-in compilation of previously released cuts was just in time to grab the first platinum record ever awarded a country album. It's not bad, but both Jennings' contemporaneous Dreaming My Dreams and Nelson's Red Headed Stranger are more nuanced tastes of the good-bad-but-not-evil-ol'-boy lifestyle. (Not to mention much of Tompall Glaser's own Outlaw compilation.) This 1996 CD reissue adds nine more tracks from the era as well as a new Jennings-and-Nelson version of Steve Earle's "Nowhere Road." --Rickey Wright

THE BIRTH OF THE "OUTLAW MOVEMENT" IN NASHVILLE ! (and the rest of the world, too).......2007-07-11

Wanted: the Outlaws (1976) is the album that changed country music forever. Although most of the songs on the album had been previously released, the way it was all packaged and marketed reached an audience that hadn't been interested in this genre before, young rock music fans. The album cover featured photos of the long-haired, bearded, and rugged-looking Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser, along with Waylon's attractive wife, Jessi Colter, on an old wild-west WANTED! poster. The music inside is a collection of country music, most of it on the rowdy side, with a couple of catchy ballads by Jessi. Waylon and Jessi sing an energetic duet on Elvis' Suspicious Minds. Willie sings of a musician's rowdy life on the road in Me And Paul, and then creates a thoughtful barroom scene in Yesterday's Wine. Waylon's at a bar, too, but he's country rocking with his song, Honky Tonk Heroes. He also sings the reflective My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. Jessi's ballads, I'm Looking For Blue Eyes and You Mean To Say are very good, and she's a great singer. Waylon and Willie duet on Heaven And Hell, and their co-written anthem Good Hearted Woman, which includes an audience track to sound "live". Tompall adds his country-rock version of Jimmie Rodgers' T for Texas and the hilarious Put Another Log On The Fire. The album sold millions, and opened the door for a new brand of country music that would dominate the scene for the next decade. Even ol' Buck and Roy started sporting beards on the TV series Hee Haw, and so did Glen Campbell! Other country singers, like Hank Williams, Jr., David Allan Coe, and Johnny Paycheck got on board, and older outlaws like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard enjoyed new interest in their careers. Country rock acts, like Charlie Daniels and The Marshall Tucker Band joined in, and the "Outlaw Movement" became an influential force in contemporary music. This 20th anniversary issue is well put together, remastered to sound better than ever, and includes many songs that weren't on the original. The songs are listed as "The Original", "The Lost", and "The New". "The Original" are the songs that were included on the original release. "The Lost" are previously released songs by the singers as separate artists. The best of these are Waylon's (I'm A) Ramblin' Man and Slow Movin' Outlaws, Willie's You Left A Long, Long Time Ago and Healing Hands Of Time, and the duets with Waylon and Jessi. "The New" is the Steve Earle produced Nowhere Road, which is a new country rocker that features Waylon and Willie together. Wanted: The Outlaws is an important country music album, a peice of history, really, and is essential for every fan of country music, or music in general.

Wanted: The Outlaws.......2007-05-28

I think this reissue of the 70's classic is a perfect example of less being more. I am not certain if any of the new additions make this CD better than the first version. In fact, to be honest, I think the first version is a 5 star classic, while this reissue overall deserves a solid 4 stars. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys is the best of the bunch here, while the cover of Suspicious Minds is outstanding. I always loved the two songs from Colter, and I think the addition of more from her lessens the overall impact of You Mean to Say and Looking for Blue Eyes. A great CD. The sound here is fantastic.

One of the Classics!.......2007-03-09

I have wore mine out. I need to buy a new copy.

Texas music.......2007-03-08

A real gem and the heart of the outlaw country music movement. The recent re-release with the songs added that didn't make the first album is a nice addition to any collection. Makes you wonder why they didn't include them the first time around. Who knows. If you thought it was great on vinyl you'll love it on cd, just a Fantastic album!

Original Was Better.......2007-02-28

In agreement with most of the reviews here, if you love the 70's country music so-called outlaw movement, you will love the music here, I have the original on a still working 8 track, I was very excited to get an
expandanded edition of this on disk, but to be honest, the longer edition looses something for me, I do "like" Jessi Colter, but as we all know, she does not carry this album, extra tracks included 3 Jessi solos in a row, then 2 Jessi duets with Waylon, that part of the Cd was a bit much for me, but besides that one pont, this is still a great set of tunes and an essential part of country music history to own.

green grass and high tides forever-- never to be forgotten.......2006-09-11

this, without a shadow of a doubt, is not only the outlaws best album by a long way ,but probably the best "southern rock" album ever,eclipsing my other favourites skynyrd---just.they had the right mix of country and rock n roll on this- their first release,thanks to henry pauls songwriting and the brilliant guitars of hughie and the sadly missed billy jones its still so powerful 31 years later --im listening to it as i write this review-- shame i never got to see them over here in the uk. lets hope the outlaws 2006 band at least spawns a dvd

Southern Rock Defined - 10 stars!!!.......2006-07-22

I had been a fan of the Outlaws since this album was released in 1975 but it wasn't until I saw them in concert at the St. Petersburg Bayfront Center on New Years eve in 1977-8 (I still have the ticket stub) that I became rabid. They never received the same airplay that Lynyrd Skynrd and Marshall Tucker enjoyed except perhaps here in the Tampa Bay area. This was truly a shame as this is quite simply the some of the best music of the genre. The vocal harmonies comparison to the Eagles is inevitable but this too, is not a logical comparison. The music is just too different to compare.

From the opening licks on There Goes Another Love Song until the last chords of GG&HT Forever, the beat is non-stop and the guitar playing is quite simply, and there's no other way to put it, AWESOME. Hughie Thomasson, Billy Jones (RIP), and Henry Paul have a way of making you pull out your air guitar and jamming along side them, or wishing you actually knew how to play. The softer sounds of It Follows From Your Heart and Song in the Breeze compliment the harder edge signature songs and no one is immune from toe tapping to Waterhole and Knoxville Girl. I have listened to this album as much or more than any other in my significant collection and I never tire of it. If you've never heard the music, listen to the Amazon clips but they certainly don't do the music justice.

If you only buy one Outlaws album, this should be it.

Holy Con Smoke!.......2006-06-03

Having just passed my 51st birthday, as a present to myself I downloaded some Marshall Tucker music. Noticing the "Related Music" sidebar, there I saw "Outlaws". In your best Valley Girl voice can you say "Oh muh Gawd"! I bought this album when it first hit the racks and wore the grooves off of it. It's been in my closet for years with the rest of my LPs after I decommissioned my turntable. I immediately downloaded my favorite tunes, burned them to a CD and have been in hog heaven since. I practically blew out my speakers playing GG&HT. What a masterpiece. Wow, talk about bringing back some good old memories. What an album, what a group. Long live Southern Rock and long live the "Outlaws"!

One of the greatest albums ever made.......2006-05-20

Like a lot of Southern Rock bands the Outlaws have had to live in Skynyrd's shadows. However the Outlaws unique blend of country, rock, great harmonies and awesome guitar should not be overlooked. And this their debut album is one of the greatest albums ever made. From the first track to the last its a perfect masterpiece. Standout tracks include "There Goes Another Love Song", "Knoxville Girl", and "Song in the Breeze". And then there is "Green Grass and High Tides". The greatest Southern / classic rock song ever recored. Its is 9 minutes and 45 seconds of pure musical ecstasy! The guitar work is incendiary! And the last couple of minutes is pure guitar heaven. To this day, everytime I play the song I get goosebumps.

Do yourselve a favor and BUY this album now!!

Best Southern Rock Album of All Time.......2005-09-08

This is the standard which all other southern rock albums can be compared. From the first track- There Goes Another Love Song- to the last track- Green Grass and High Tides, there isn't a single weak song.

GG&HT is an often mentioned song as one of the best ROCK songs ever written when radio stations and magazines compile their lists. It has incredible guitar work and because of this may be the finest "air guitar" tune that exists. Some compare this to Free Bird because of it's southern rock heritage and long instrumental, but I've always found that to be unfair. It's a unique song that can stand on it's own which has already endured the test of time. The Outlaws never had the incredible popularity that Lynyrd Skynyrd had.

Song in the Breeze features wonderous harmonies.

Knoxville Girl and Keep Prayin' are 2 of the best sing/air guitar along southern rock songs ever written.

There Goes Another Love Song is a tune that everyone loves- even if you don't like southern rock particularly.

Waterhole is a great short little instrumental that was probably written in 15 minutes, but makes you appreciate the guitar mastery that the Outlaws had.

The Florida Guitar Army earned their name because of this masterpiece of a debut album.

If you only want one southern rock cd in your collection this is the one to own. I've heard it so many times and will never tire of it.

The Best Outlaws Album - Great Personnel, Great Songs.......2007-05-14

The Outlaws hit their peak with this album. They had the best personnel on this LP, and showed the polish of a band that's learned the ropes through 2 previous albums. Henry Paul, who was the main country-western influence, left the band after this album. On all subsequent albums, their 'twang' was gone and they deteriorated into being an average metal band with no market differentiator.

Billy Jones got more vocals on this album than on their first 2 albums, which is another good thing. In my opinion, Hughie Thomasson's vocals are average on a good day, and Billy had the unique Neil Young-like voice that could have really differentiated these guys (they way they differentiated Neil Young himself). Holiday is an amazing song, which really shows off Billy's vocal abilities. It should be mentioned among the ranks of Lynyrd Skynyrd's greatest rock anthems.

Not sure why The Outlaws don't get the airtime of Marchall Tucker, Allman Bros, Lynyrd Skynyrd and even the Pure Prarie League. They are at least as good, and maybe someday they'll get their due. Until then, this is an outstanding LP which plays like a "Best of" album -- not a bad track to be found!

Their best .......2006-02-16

Their first album was good and got radio play and had the classic Green Grass. Second album was ok. This was the classic. Even the 2 Billy Jones songs, usually shakey high voice ballads, are ok on this album. Everything else on this cd is excellent. A must have of southern rock.

A Southern Rock Pinnacle.......2005-09-15

Before Henry Paul (of Black Hawk fame more recently) left the Outlaws to form the very credible Henry Paul Band, he, Hughie Thomasson, Billy Jones (RIP), Harvey Dalton Arnold, and Monte Yoho contributed what many feel is the quintessential Outlaws album: Hurry Sundown. The band had pulled off two incredible albums with the eponymous debut and the sophomore effort "Lady in Waiting", both of which featured music that would often lean more in the country direction (and done superbly) whereas "Hurry Sundown" began a deliberate shift to a harder rocking style. Of course, Country is a portion of the recipe that made Southern Rock great and it isn't completely forsaken here as such songs as the title track,"Hurry Sundown", "Hearin' My Heart Talkin'", "So Afraid" (sung by bassist Harvey D. Arnold; has banjo in it!), and Gunsmoke (sung by Henry Paul) all have strong country elements but are country with lots more "sting" in the guitar department. I think the departures of Henry Paul and Harvey Dalton Arnold later were incidentally the departure of the "country" element from the band and it virtually disappeared after this release, sadly. Hughie Thomasson is a guitar God, though, in my opinion and one of the most overlooked talents in the music world, and I, for one, am glad his stint with Lynyrd Skynyrd is over as the Outlaws are back out there kicking up dust and Paul, Thomasson and Co. are doing what they NEED to be doing: Outlaw Music!! Fortunately, Buddah Records, in association with Arista, re-issued the first 3 (and by far the best) Outlaw albums on CD back in 2001, I think, and they need to be YOUR collection!! Let the "Florida Guitar Army" take your breath and transport you to a time when the South had truly "risen again"!

Fantastic Album.......2005-08-11

A great album to have in your Southern Rock collection. I believe it's the last album Henry Paul was on before going solo...
Course it's great all the guys (less the great late Billy Jones) are on tour (2005-2006) for the 30th Anniversary Reunion Tour...great SHOW!!! Get the album...they're playing a few tunes of this one.

Sorely Missed.......2003-05-25

One of the most underappreciated bands of their time. Not a bad song on the album. They slid downhill once Henry Paul left, but anything before that is tremendous.

One of the better known southern rock bands of the 1970s, The Outlaws enjoyed some moderate success with hits like "There Goes Another Love Song." Following in the tradition of practically every band who had a contract at that time, The Outlaws released an obligatory live album in 1978. Their harmonies, both vocal and guitar, held up pretty well on stage, as evidenced by the before mentioned "Love Song," and "Freeborn Man," as well as "I Hope You Don't Mind." "Hurry Sundown," another Outlaws classic gets an equally fine treatment. But of course, the real meat comes at the end of the show with "Green Grass and High Tides." Taking a cue from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird," The Outlaws wrote an epic of their own. "Green Grass" starts as an up-tempo country croon, but it's not long before they let the hammer down. As was de rigueur, the band pulls out all the era's stops, throwing drum breaks, dueling guitar leads that go on for about three days, and several false endings into the pot before The Big Finish. It's a great documented moment of a band at the height of both its own powers, and those of an entire era. --Steve Gdula

Sorching Southern Rock at it's Best!.......2007-03-13

This is the Outlaws best album! The more I listen to it, to more I enjoy it- from the great percusion to the truly amazing guitars. I have a hard time with some of the folksy, California country music vibe of some of the studio albums- but thats not a problem with this live recording. If you only buy one Outlaw album- this is the one to get!

Four guitars on Green Grass and High Tides - what more could you want?.......2007-02-03

The front cover says it all - yes, this band really did have FOUR guitarists. When it works well, the results are stunning.

So far as I'm aware, this 1978 offering is one of two live Outlaws CDs, the other being the (now hard-to-find) 'Hittin the Road Live' (1993). Don't worry if you can't get the latter, as this album is by far the better of the two.

The reason most people would buy this CD is, of course, for the finale, a mind-blowing 21-minute live version of "Green Grass and High Tides", a track which is surely a strong contender for "best-ever guitar-driven rock track". Though necessarily slightly less polished than the studio version, the live recording much more than makes up for this by the fresh atmosphere and excitement which it brings to this truly awesome epic.

Green Grass Forever.......2006-09-13

20 minute Jam? You are too busy to pay attention for twenty minutes
Please don't bother. No amount of self indulgence is worth 20 minutes of your precious time. And by the way, they really aren't enjoying themselves either.

This is a great remaster of this cd. A previous reviewer wrote of not having the 2nd and 3d guitars, but they are all here and loud and clear on my cd.

Missing 2nd and Third Lead.......2006-05-31

I am an old Outlaws fan. And for the most part. There newley releast CDs Are very good. But Lady In Waiting is not. The CD is missing the 2nd & 3rd lead guitar rifs. Witch really sucks for a band who is known for a 3 Guitar Assult!

Another Great Album from the Florida Guitar Army.......2003-04-24

Another great album. You are going to get all the great guitar work and vocal harmony you expect from the boys from Tampa.

There are no big radio numbers on this album, but all the tunes are strong. "Breaker, Breaker" is good country/rock pop, a tune about a man heading home to his woman. "South Carolina", written by now Blackhawk lead singer Henry Paul, is a real country number with some real picking and grinning from Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones.

"Ain't So Bad" is a smooth ballad from Billy Jones and "Freeborn Man" is a real country boogie tune that was written by Paul Revere and the Raiders vocalist Mark Lindsay. Of course, the Outlaws put their signature on this song like only they can.

"Stick Around For Rock and Roll" has all the chops that a guitar connoiseur is looking for. This is the signature guitar tune on the album.

"Lover Boy" and "Just For You" are more strong country rock boogie numbers. "Girl From Ohio" is more of the straight country variety from Henry Paul and "Prisoner" is another smooth number from William Harry Jones.

A good follow up album to their self-titled debut album "Outlaws".

A Second Great Outlaws Album.......2002-09-27

LADY IN WAITING is a great record. It's just as great as BEST OF, BRING IT BACK ALIVE, OUTLAWS, HURRY SUNDOWN, and PLATINUM & GOLD COLLECTION, but is also a wonderful album in its own right. If you loved BEST OF, BRING IT BACK ALIVE, OUTLAWS, HURRY SUNDOWN, or PLATINUM & GOLD COLLECTION, you'll love LADY IN WAITING.

Stick around for rock & roll.......2002-03-01

Excellent!! I said this back in the 70s and I hold by it today, this is southern rock at it's finest. "Freeborn Man" and "Stick around for rock & roll" are just a couple tunes on this CD that will get you kickin up your heels. This band is in a class all it's own. Nothin compares, not today, not 30 years ago.

Forgettable.......2006-06-02

With Playin' To Win, the Outlaws' winning streak came to a grinding halt. Compared to the first thee albums, the material is unremarkable and the arrangements bland. There's simply nothing to distinguish this album, other than "Falling Rain", with vocals that sound uncannily like Ronnie Van Zant.

Unfortunately, the CD sound quality renders a poor album virtually unlistenable. As someone else has already noted, every "s" sound is overly-sibilant.

The Outlaws Continue Their Winning Streak.......2004-11-10

This two-fer shows the Outlaws continuing their winning streak. "Take It Any Way You Want It" is a great song about resisting pressure to be like everybody else, "You Are The Show" and "Ghost Riders In The Sky" are great guitar showcases, and "White Horses" evoke the days of the Old West. Even though some have described the sound quality as being a bit off, it's still worth five stars because the band is expanding their sound by changing producers and adding Michael Duke of Wet Willie on keyboards.

Finally.......2004-08-28

This review will relate to "Playin' To Win" only. One of my top 10 albums of all time. This disc, without a doubt, is The Outlaws best release to date. Their vocal harmonies and dual lead guitar licks are the best in the business. All tracks are solid. "Southern Rock" at its finest. I wish I could say the same about "Ghost Riders". Somewhat disappointed this was included in the package. However, this disc accompanies me wherever I go. Finally able to acquire in a
digitally remastered format.

playin to win/ghostriders.......2003-10-10

these cd`s are very good. a true outlaws fan will love the fact that they can be bought again. i personally think they sound great and anyone who loves the outlaws will enjoy having these cd`s in there collection. again, these cd`s are great and i recommend anyone who misses the great music of the outlaws to buy it.

Playin' to Win/Ghost Riders [IMPORT].......2003-07-16

I've been an Outlaws fan and supporter since I first saw them in concert back in 1975. As most of you know, the "Ghost Riders" CD has been out of print for quite a few years and "Playin' To Win' has never offically been released on CD. The excitement of having "Playin To Win" on CD quickly vanished upon listening to it. Outlaw fans beware, this CD (at least the "Playin' To Win" tracks) are not from the original master tapes. If you listen carefully, you can tell an album was used as the source. Soyou have a remastered version from an LP. Talk about feeling ripped-off.

I agree with the other review, the vocals are distorted, especially when the letter "S" is involved in any phrase. If you do not own a copy of the album "Playin to Win" or the Ghost Riders CD, then go for it. If you already own Playin' To Win on LP,and Ghost Riders on CD, save your money.

The best they ever did.......2007-06-05

This was a great party album that stands the test of time.

"Chateau Lafite '59" was a great vintage. We sure had a real good time. "Blue Spruce Woman" was a friend of mine. And yours. There isn't a loser on the CD. Be careful to keep it out of the car because it can make you forget times have changed and costs of bad behavior have gone up.

need my foghat.......2007-06-01

Another 70's band with killer music and brilliant musicians.Most
people know thier hits but they go much deeper than the surface. Straight
ahead feel good rock and roll and nothing less. Great guitar by the late
Rod Price and lonesome Dave. This cd is right before Fool For the City
and is just as good if not better. Got to hear it, got to have it.

How much fun can Willie have on stage? How hard can he rock? Only as much and as hard as the party warrants, and this audio souvenir of his third USA Network TV special is some kind of party. Despite some jarring editing--guest announcements intrude and Kid Rock's corny cameo lurches into Al Green's moaning pentecost--the star-spangled pageantry rarely overwhelms the loose, joyful collaborations. The killer house band, with Jim Keltner on drums and Nils Lofgren on guitar, shifts from swing to reggae to boogie rock, and leaves the Nelson Family Band, fine as they are, in the dust. Ol' Willie may go froggy on an otherwise gorgeous duet with a Carole King, he may be a no-show on Toots Hibbert's frenetic "Pressure Drop," and he probably should have thought twice about letting Los Lonely Boys suck the funk from War's "Cisco Kid," but he still slings some signature Trigger riffs alongside the Holmes Brothers and matches Lucinda Williams' slow-burn emotion, phrase for soulful phrase. --Roy Kasten

Album Description

The new live album from Willie's 3rd USA Network Special features Willie performing with some of his closest friends and biggest legends making music today including Los Lonely Boys, Keith Richards, Merle Haggard, Toby Keith, Lucinda Williams, Al Green, Shelby Lynne, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ben Harper, Kid Rock and many more!

Customer Reviews:

Willie fan.......2005-06-10

Great, great album. A great variety of music. Willie can sing with the best. By far, the best of his Friends compiliations.

All that talent under one roof..........AMAZING!!!.......2005-04-03

Willie just keeps kicking out those Fantastic concerts...big names and great tunes. Keith Richards, Kid Rock, Jerry Lee Lewis...absolutely worth every penny. I play this cd every single day!!!

UNPOLISHED GEM.......2005-02-26

Yes the announcer's voice should have been edited out but on the other hand it puts the concert into context and keeps you reminded that you're hearing an unpolished gem of a recording.

If you're a fan of Willie - and I am becoming one - you'll love the entire album. If you're a little more discriminating there are some tracks that you should forgive and forget but decide on those for yourself.

The highlights are the Carole King duet on Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, the beautiful Lucinda Williams duet on Overtime,Pancho and Lefty and Mama Tried with Merle Haggard, Stormy Weather with Shelby Lynne, We Had It All with Keith Richards, I'll Never Be Free with Lee Anne Womack and the last two all-band tracks that are just plain good fun.

Another reviewer commented on the house-band and it truly smokes, moving into and out of every style with no effort. If you want a good fun album this is hard to beat even if forgivably flawed.

Tonight You're Mine.......2005-02-16

This live outing from Willie Nelson & friends is a good set. To a great extent, I found the announcer's introductions over the music to be irritating with repeated listenings. I'd rather just hear the music and look @ the insert to see who's playing. However, the music is great! Toby Keith & Willie smoke on the openers, "Georgia On A Fast Train" & "Ramblin' Fever" with Joe Walsh on guitar. Willie gets soulfully blusey with Al Green's somewhat over-enthusiastic exclamations on "Rainin' In My Heart." Shelby Lynn is a talented artist who does a great croon on Willie's western swing version of "Stormy Weather." Pop icon Carole King joins Willie for the classic melody "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." This track was the reason I picked up the CD & did not disappoint as these two musical veterans blend lovingly onstage. Lee Ann Womack (whose new CD "There's More Where That Came From" is great!) does a lively job with Willie that makes it seem that they're having great fun together. Townes Van Zandt's often-covered tune "Pancho & Lefty" is given a great reading with Willie, Merle Haggard & Toby Keith. Willie joins Lucinda Williams on "Overtime," a song she recorded for her stunning "World Without Tears" CD. Their voices blend seamlessly, expressing great longing. "Comes Love" is a great standard that's been recorded from everyone from Toni Price to Peter Cincotti. Here, Rickie Lee Jones' jazzy swagger joins Willie Nelson for a spirited version of this classic standard. This live set is interesting to see how Willie blends with a diverse group of artists. Enjoy!

The CD's kind of like Texas weather...........2005-01-11

If you don't like the song, just wait and the wind will change. This CD is not only a tribute to Nelson's versatility, but his friends in the music business as well. Those of you who thought he just did country---think again! He swings into reggae with Toots from Toots and the Maytalls, the blues with the Holmes Brothers, and hard-bitten folk rock in a rare cut with Lucinda Williams. Whatever type of music you like, you're going to find something here that appeals to you.

Amazon.com

Hailing from Tampa, Florida, and wielding as many as three lead guitarists at a time, the Outlaws are perhaps one of the least likely bands to be deemed worthy of a major-label retrospective CD. Though supremely competent, the band is completely indistinguishable in both style and substance from earlier and better known acts of southern rock's golden age: Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Green Grass & High Tides culls 16 tracks from the five studio albums the Outlaws recorded between 1975 and 1980, including their two minor hits, "There Goes Another Love Song" and "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." Recommended for southern-rock diehards only. --Roni Sarig

Underrated Southern Rockers -- worth a listen.......2007-05-14

For those of you who aren't old enough to remember, the Outlaws were arguably more popular than Lynyrd Skynrd in the heydey of southern rock (1975 - 1980). Skynyrd's unfortunate demise led to them being canonized, though they certainly had several wonderful songs to justify it.

The Outlaws' first 3 Albums (Self-titled, Lady In Waiting, Hurry Sundown) were amazing LP's and this "Best of" CD captures most of their high notes. Its missing a few great tunes (Holiday from Hurry Sundown immediately comes to mind) but overall is a good survey of their music.

The quality of their music tailed off quickly after Hurry Sundown -- partially due to Henry Paul leaving, but probably due to burnout on several levels. Billy Jones was an amazing guitarist with a unique voice, on par with Neil Young. Its too bad he wasn't with us longer.

These guys were the 'metal band' of the Southern Rock area, so if you enjoy loud guitars and Skynrd-esque music, this CD is for you.

heaven.......2007-02-28

This CD brings back such great memories,..I am almost in a different world when I hear "Green Grass & High Tides". This is some great stuff,..if you are into this kind of southern rock,..you'll love this. I have almost every Outlaws LP record,..but I can't play records in my car,.so I had to get this CD. Not disappointed.

Short on quantity, despite quality that is present........2007-02-14

This CD is loaded with lots of Outlaw favorites. I happen to be one who has always found "Waterhole" and "Knoxville Girl" relatively unappreciated on the grand scale of Outlaw songs, and their presnce on this CD is a must. The same can be said about Outlaw anthems "Green Grass and High Tides; There Goes Another Love Song" and "Freeborn Man." But this collection has gone further in years to dig up other favorites. I was delighted to see "Take It Any Way You Want It; You Are The Show" and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" represented. But perhaps a more up to date collection is in order. Granted, the band see-sawed line-up wise in it's latter years, as did the subsequent music they produced. But "Hurry Sundown" alone is worthy of more representation on this CD. The late 70s saw the remaining bands of both southern rock and the California sound (Eagles/ Poco, etc.) hit their zenith in production and music produced. It's no coincidence to some degree, as "Hurry Sundown's" producer did the same for the Eagle's "Hotel California" resulting in more refined, streamlined music that had crossover appeal. And "Hurry Sundown's" "Holiday; So Afraid" and "Heavenly Blue" each are worthy of being present on a conmprehensive Outlaws collection, as are cuts from future CDs like "Los Hombres Malo" and "In The Eye of the Storm," though they may be fewer in number. But, this is a best of CD. And to accomplish what I feel is necessary, an anthology is in order. The Outlaws may not have ranked up there with the Allmans, the Skynards or the Tuckers in mass appeal. But they did have quite a run for what many consider a not as consequential southern rock band. And their life span is certainly worthy of an anthology to be a more truly comprehensive look at a band that left its mark.

Southern Rock you wouldn't understand, Dr. Bombay !!.......2006-12-27

No New American from India should ever be allowed to review Southern Rock or any Rock CD...I saw the Outlaws and ZZ Top in Roanoke,VA in 1977 and they brought the house down with every song and actually commanded the same applause as that lil' ole band from Texas did later that night !! and outside of a few songs in five albums wrote all of their own material...The Outlaws were truly electric in more ways than one and the new digitally remastered songs sound better than ever !! only real radio stations play the deep cuts and " Ghost Riders in the Sky " fits the bill for high fidelity sound !! Yep , it's a Southern Rock thing , Dr. Bombay ,you wouldn't understand !!!

Good memories.......2006-12-06

I saw the Outlaws live twice in the early eighties and had a great time at both shows. This album is just plain fun to listen to and brings back some very fond memories.
