George's primary backing vocalist Liana Manis, the sister of my former co-worker.
A treat is the controversial song "Murder on Music Row," duet with Alan Jackson,
about the demise of traditional country music due to commercial pressures. Many
folks here agree with the song's premise
One of the albums that launched the "Outlaw Country" genre, along with Willie's
ground-breaking album
Red Headed Stranger. Released in 1976 (remastered in
1996) the first country album to be certified platinum in the US. All songs previously
released, but the 1976 effort was produced after Waylon and Willie broke from
their Nashville contracts to become outlaws ... they never went back.
Waylon's voice and Steve Earle's guitar make it.
Tompall Glaser. He's always been an outlaw.
