There is no better way to start our Top 10 Outlaws songs list than with a song that shows off the dueling guitar work of this great band. While we love the lead vocals and brilliant harmonies on this one, it’s the tremendous dual guitar solo that occurs halfway through the song that sealed the deal for us on The Outlaws song “Gunsmoke.” And let’s n...
“A Song For You” was released on The Outlaws debut album The Outlaws in 1975. It appeared as the second track on the album behind “There Goes Another Love Song,” making for a great one-two opening song punch. Founding member Hughie Thomasson sang lead vocals on the song.
The Outlaws’ song “Cry Some More” was released on their 1979 album Playing To Win. Southern Rock still enjoyed great success in the late 70s and proved a great alternative to the countless disco songs and new wave music that dominated FM and AM radio at the end of the decade. Bands like The Outlaws, Charlie Daniels Band, and the Marshall Tucker Ban...
“Freeborn Man” is one of The Outlaws’ most progressive songs. A great hook, excellent rhythmic guitar playing, and sweet Eagles-style vocals cemented this one as a fan favorite. The rhythm change in the middle of the song echoed the instrumental style of The Allman Brothers Band classic “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” The song was released on The Ou...
The Outlaws song “Dregs Fall To The Wicked” was probably one of the band’s heaviest songs ever recorded. Some tremendous dark and blistering guitar solos augmented the song’s minor key verses. The song was released on their great 1994 album Diablo Canyon. The record featured guest performances by pianist Billy Powell and guitarist Gary Rossington. ...
Nothing is better than a great Southern Rock song starting with some beautiful acapella vocal harmonies. The song shifted into a sweet, acoustically strummed pop county-styled arrangement that fit perfectly on AM and FM 1970s radio. The song was issued on the band’s second album, Lady In Waiting, released in May 1976.
The second this one began, you knew it was the Outlaws. The band had a distinct dual guitar sound that separated them from some of the other Southern Rock bands at the time. Listen to the song’s opening guitar riffs that have become so iconic. This is the stuff that 1970s Southern Rock fans fell in love with. A fantastic chorus that has since becom...
Just think about what a brilliant title “Ghost Riders In The Sky” was. The band followed up the title with a masterpiece inspired by multiple musical genres. The song’s beautiful acoustic guitar opening segued into one of the classic rock era’s most iconic guitar lines ever. The song “Ghost Riders in the Sky” was released on the band’s Ghost Riders...
“There Goes Another Loves Song” is a tune that is simply pop county rock perfection. Ideally, it’s hard to capture all those genres in one song, but The Outlaws did it on this one. This great track was released on the band’s debut album released in 1975 entitled The Outlaws. The song opened the album and was the lead-off single that introduced the ...
The 1970s were the decade of the extended southern rock jam. Don’t get us wrong, there were extended rock jams in all rock formats. However, something about the Southern rock extended jam resonated powerfully on FM radio. The Allman Brothers Band had many, but their most famous, it could be argued, was “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed.” There can be no...

Aug 27, 2020 · Like the Eagles, whose frontline members all sang, Thomasson, Paul and Jones were all accomplished lead vocalists, and the blending of the trio’s voices in three- or four-part harmonies, as well as rotation of who was at the microphone, soon became a trademark.
