 The Outlaws were one of the top five southern rock bands of the 1970s along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Charlie Daniels Band, The Marshall Tucker Band and the group that set the genre up we all knew as The Allman Brothers Band. Every single one of those bands had there signature songs and more. For the Outlaws there signature song was “Green Grass and High Tides Forever,” which was released in both studio and live versions similar to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free bird.”

The Outlaws released their first studio album in 1975 simply titled Outlaws. The band’s fantastic debut album was bookend with what would become two of the band’s most famous songs entitled “There Goes Another Love Song,” and “Green Grass And High Tides Forever.” The Outlaws legendary lineup on the album included Hughie Thomasson on lead guitar,and vocals, Billy Jones on lead guitar and vocals, Henry Paul on electric and acoustic guitar and vocals, Frank O’Keefe on bass and Monte Yoho on drums.

CONFEDERATE TALES -2020 WHITE MANSIONS  and THE JESSE JAMES STORY 2cd.

It was Waylon Jennings’ “Let’s All Help The Cowboys Sing The Blues,” and it changed his life. Two years later he would release one of country music’s most compelling, yet most overlooked concept albums with none other than Waylon Jennings himself in a lead role. Waylon’s wife Jessi Colter, along Waylon Jennings  members of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Bearnie Leadon of the Eagles and Eric Clapton contributed the guitar work also came along for the ride, telling the story of the South during the Civil War through the perspective of four white Southerners.

White Mansions couldn’t be made today. That’s one of many reasons it’s so remarkable and such a country music treasure.

This pair of concept albums was the late-1970s work of an Englishman named Paul Kennerley. Captivated by the voice of Waylon Jennings, Kennerley grew obsessed with images of the American South in the Civil War. He wrote the Civil War song cycle “White Mansions” and leveraged a friendship with Rolling Stones producer Glyn Johns to pull together an incredible cast to bring it to life .The voices of Levon Helm as Jesse, Johnny Cash as Frank James, Charlie Daniels as Cole Younger and Emmylou Harris as Jesse’s wife Zee Mimms.

HIGHWAYMEN   -  S-T   1985.

The Highwaymen was a country music super-group composed of four of the genre’s biggest artists well known for their pioneering influence on the outlaw country sub-genre: 

Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. 

Whenever you combine the greatest men in their trade, you get genius. The album is an amazing compilation of talent and song writing. These men are legendary country music singers on their own, and when you

combine them, you get something special.

The first two albums released by the group, as well as the majority of their singles, were not credited to "The Highwaymen," but to "Waylon Jennings.

PINK  FLOYD  -  THE  REUNION CONCERT  2005.

Held 18 years ago today, Live 8 saw a string of historic concerts take place in the G8 states on July 2nd 2005. The run of shows were iconic for a number of reasons, a time when the great and the good of music came together to fight against global poverty which even saw Pink Floyd’s full line-up reunite for one last time at London’s Hyde Park.

Organised by Bob Geldof, and watched by an estimated three billion people worldwide, the London event was just one in a series of concerts held around the globe in Philadelphia, Paris, Berlin, Rome and elsewhere.

The Hyde Park concert saw the likes of Paul McCartney performing with U2 as well as a solo set from the former Beatle. The Who also took to the stage as did The Killers, Snoop Dogg, Madonna and a bizarre duet of T. Rex’s ‘Children of the Revelation’ from Elton John and Peter Doherty. 

Despite the big names in attendance, it was Floyd’s reunion that was the show-stealer.

On 2 July 2005, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright performed together as Pink Floyd for the first time in more than 24 years, at the Live 8/Make Poverty History concert in London’s Hyde Park. 

They performed 4 songs from the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

Three years later RICHARD WRIGHT left this world.
