Few bands have flown the southern rock flag for as long (and as well) as The Outlaws have done – as proven by their impressive body of work. And they continue to expand their discography, with the recent release of a killer concert recording, Legacy Live, which features rockin\u2019 versions of such classics as \u201cThere Goes Another Love Song,\u201d \u201cFreeborn Man,\u201d \u201cGreen Grass & High Tides,\u201d and \u201c(Ghost) Riders In The Sky.\u201d And a lyric video for another standout from the album, \u201cGunsmoke,\u201d has just been unveiled: https:\/\/youtu.be\/2ZraYzRD6PY<\/p>\n

“The song \u2018Gunsmoke\u2019 was written in late 1976,\u201d recalls the band\u2019s leader\/singer\/guitarist, Henry Paul. \u201cIt was an early attempt on my part to write lyrical imagery specifically for The Outlaws musical personality. I was honored to get the lead track position with it on the \u2018Hurry Sundown\u2019 album and I think it\u2019s held up pretty well after all this time.\u201d <\/p>\n

And accompanying the album and video will be shows throughout the year, including shows in the east and south of the United States. Also featured in The Outlaws line-up (in addition to Paul) is Monte Yoho \u2013 drums, Chris Anderson \u2013 lead guitar, vocals, Randy Threet \u2013 bass, vocals, Dave Robbins \u2013 keyboards, vocals, and Steve Grisham \u2013 lead guitar, vocals. <\/p>\n

Formed in Tampa In 1972, The Outlaws \u2013 known for their triple-guitar rock attack and three-part country harmonies \u2013 became one of the first acts signed by Clive Davis (at the urging of Ronnie Van Zant) to his then-fledgling Arista Records. The band\u2019s first three albums The Outlaws, Lady In Waiting and Hurry Sundown \u2013 featuring such rock radio favorites as \u201cThere Goes Another Love Song\u201d, \u201cGreen Grass & High Tides\u201d, \u201cKnoxville Girl\u201d and \u201cFreeborn Man\u201d \u2013 would become worldwide gold and platinum landmarks of the Southern Rock era. Known as \u2018The Florida Guitar Army\u2019 by their fans, The Outlaws earned a formidable reputation as an incendiary live act touring with friends The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band and The Charlie Daniels Band as well as The Doobie Brothers, The Who, Eagles and The Rolling Stones. <\/p>\n

Along with founding members Henry Paul and Monte Yoho, the band features several of Southern Rock\u2019s most respected veterans: Co-lead guitarist and longtime Outlaw Chris Anderson is well known for his collaborations with artists that include Dickey Betts, Lucinda Williams, Hank Williams Jr., and Skynyrd.<\/p>\n

Keyboardist\/vocalist Dave Robbins is a co-founding member of Blackhawk and has written hit songs for artists that include Restless Heart, Kenny Rogers and Eric Clapton. Bassist\/vocalist Randy Threet has performed with Pam Tillis, Trisha Yearwood and Blackhawk, and is familiar to TV audiences from USA Network\u2019s \u2018Nashville Star\u2019. Co-lead guitarist Steve Grisham – who joined the band in mid-2013 following the medical leave of guitarist Billy Crain – is a former member of the \u2018Soldiers of Fortune\u2019 era Outlaws, a noted songwriter whose tracks include The Henry Paul Band’s Top 40 hit \u201cKeepin’ Our Love Alive,\u201d and a co-founder of the Southern Rock all-stars, Brothers of the Southland. \u201cFrom the very beginning, our band had a heart,\u201d Monte Yoho says, \u201cfor The Outlaws, it\u2019s still about the music. And more than ever, it\u2019s about live music!\u201d <\/p>\n

And soon, US fans will be able to rock out once more with the mighty Outlaws!<\/p>\n
