Outlaws - Outlaws

    I have grown to like Southern Rock.  Primarily because its bands almost have two lead guitars, which inherently means some bitchin' guitar solos.

    That being said, I don't know how I've missed out on Outlaws for so long.  Fortunately, a friend posted one of their songs on FaceBook a couple weeks ago, and that spurred me to go get a bunch of their albums to convert.

    Outlaws is their 1975 eponymous debut album, and it frickin' rocks.  The vinyl was in good shape and cleaned up nicely.

- Tracks  (favorites in pink) -

01.) There Goes Another Love Song
02.) Song For You
03.) Song In The Breeze
04.) It Follows From Your Heart
05.) Cry No More

06.) Waterhole
07.) Stay With Me
08.) Keep Prayin'
09.) Knoxville Girl
10.) Green Grass & High Tides

    There Goes Another Love Song got all the airplay, and worthily so.  But Green Grass & High Tides is really the high point of the album.  Waterhole is just the band showing off on their musical talents, which is jaw-dropping.

    The whole album is strong.  The vocals are great, the guitar-work is tight, and the songwriting is superb.  This is what Crosby, Stills & Nash should've sounded like.  For some reason, their used LP's are cheap, and I think four others are on the floor, waiting to be converted.  So you can expect to hear me drool some more over these guys.
