Product Details

Outlaw country wasn't a marketing term, it was a genuine revolt. When Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson wrested creative control from Nashville's Music Row in the early 1970s, they cracked open the genre for everyone who followed, from the cosmic cowboys of Austin to the hard-living voices collected here. This is the sound of country music remembering what it was supposed to be.


The most celebrated tracks by Country Music's most famous and infamous musicians! The genre that changed country music forever is back with this new single CD, just in time for the 75th birthday celebrations of one of the movement's leading renegades - Willie Nelson. Features 20 tracks that broke the rules of traditional country music and restored it's rawness and life force - including all the greats, from Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash to Travis Tritt, Steve Earle and Gretchen Wilson.
