Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson!? All singing about being different type of tough guys!? Country at its best. Came from a time in music where every song had to have a space aspect, David Bowies influence stretches wide
Excellent 1976 cinema verite style documentary capturing performances and musings from the likes of Townes Van Zandt, David Allan Coe, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Steve Young, etc. whole thing is kind of a hangout vibe, essential viewing if youāre interested in outlaw country at all
Iām talkin about the classics. I love that spine chilling outlaw shit with lyrics about scary ghost cowboys, sleeping in a boxcar on a moving train, prison blues, repenting for your sins, and being heartbroken. From albums like The Louvin Brothersā āSatan Is Realā (1959), to Johnny Cash's āLive At Folsom Prisonā (1968), to Bruce Springsteenās āNebraskaā (1982), I canāt get enough!
