Description

Outlaws is the debut studio album by American southern rock band Outlaws, originally released in 1975. The album is known for the rock classic “Green Grass & High Tides”, which is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar songs, plus the hit single “There Goes Another Love Song”. A cover version of “Green Grass & High Tides” appears as a playable song in the video game Rock Band. Drawing influences from southern rock bands The Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as folk rock and country rock bands such as The Byrds, Poco, Eagles, and New Riders of the Purple Sage, the band developed a unique, hard-driving country rock sound, due in part to the quick pickin’ quasi-country style guitar playing of Hughie Thomasson, coupled with their use of three and four part harmonies. They even incorporated elements of bluegrass on the album.
