today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyid=2006-09-18T190327Z_01_N18298940_RTRUKOC_0_US-CRIME-NELSON-MARIJUANA.xml&src=rss&rpc=22It's not very surprising at all. The new Texican Rock and Roll band "Los Lonely Boys" toured with Nelson a few years back and credit him as one of their major influences along with Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Carlos Santana. Anyhow, Nelson contributed a verse on a song on their new album called "Outlaws" (the song not the album) For the handful that don't know, there was a rebel group called the Outlaws with Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristoferson back 30 plus years ago. Anyhow, I don't know the exact words but Nelson's verse is something like this: "I've always made a living making music with my friends. Out on the road again, and Lord knows where I've been. Sometimes the man doesn't like the way I am. So I'll put it in a song .... just take you some and pass it on."

Wasn't it The Highwaymen, which was made up of Willie, Waylon, Kris and Johnny Cash?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Hoyarooter is correct. The Outlaws were a Southern Rock band that sang songs such as "Green Grass and High Tides" and "There Goes Another Love Song". Pretty decent band in my opinion, maybe not that well known outside of the South.
The Highwaymen were indeed made up of Willie, Waylon, Kris, and Cash. They only put out two CD's IIRC.

I knew the Highwaymen as well, but I thought the Outlaws were the Highwayman sans Johnny Cash.
In any case I seriously doubt that the Highwaymen put out any CD's.
Back then we talked about "side 1" and "side 2."

I guess I am just going crazy in my old age. I could have sworn there was a short lived group of 3 former highwaymen and I have some vague recoloection of Tom Paul Glaser being in that band as well, but I can't find any record of it. I guess I am just wrong.

"Outlaw music" was the anti-Nashville phenomenon spearheaded by Texans Waylon Jennings, Willie, Rhodes Scholar Kris Kristofferson, and David Allan Coe, among others. As DAC sings: "I heard The Burritos out in California could fly higher than The Byrds Roger McGuinn had a 12 string guitar it was like nothing I'd ever heard And The Eagles flew in from the west coast Like The Byrds they were trying to be free While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws Like Willie and Waylon and me Hey well that they say Texas music's in the make And we've been making music that is free Doing one night stands Playing with our bands Willie, Waylon and me" If you really want to hear the best of the "genre," I recommend this. |

Also, FWIW, one member of Los Lonely Boys was charged with POM in Austin a month or two ago. Musicians and marijuana: who knew?

Don't cops have anything else better to do besides bust people for weed, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE LIKE WILLIE NELSON? One of the most overlooked and expensive wastes of time in America.

I guess I am just wrong.I happened to catch a show on CMT Monday night. And between clicking back and forth between both it and the football game in "The Big Easy," something caught my eye. Not only does the album exist as I remember it ... but it was ranked (albeit quite admittedly arbitrarily) as the seventh best country album of all-time. From asking around, apparently the band actually had no name, but the album title was "Wanted: The Outlaws" and featured both Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings as well as his wife Jessi Colter ... and praise be ... my memory is not gone ... at least all gone yet ... Tom Paul Glaser. Here is the link to the main page. Click on the "photo gallery" tab and you can scroll through. For what it is worth, I did enjoy the show although I doubt we will ever agree on the specific albums ... let alone the order. www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/greatest_series/108936/episode.jhtml |
