Another great album. You are going to get all the great guitar work and vocal harmony you expect from the boys from Tampa.

There are no big radio numbers on this album, but all the tunes are strong. "Breaker, Breaker" is good country/rock pop, a tune about a man heading home to his woman. "South Carolina", written by now Blackhawk lead singer Henry Paul, is a real country number with some real picking and grinning from Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones.

"Ain't So Bad" is a smooth ballad from Billy Jones and "Freeborn Man" is a real country boogie tune that was written by Paul Revere and the Raiders vocalist Mark Lindsay. Of course, the Outlaws put their signature on this song like only they can.

"Stick Around For Rock and Roll" has all the chops that a guitar connoiseur is looking for. This is the signature guitar tune on the album.

"Lover Boy" and "Just For You" are more strong country rock boogie numbers. "Girl From Ohio" is more of the straight country variety from Henry Paul and "Prisoner" is another smooth number from William Harry Jones.

A good follow up album to their self-titled debut album "Outlaws".

As a sophomore effort, this album as a whole is more lyrically and musically imaginative than the eponymous first effort. Noticably missing is a top 40 single such as "There goes another love song" and the anthemic "Green Grass and High Tides". However, this album does not dissapoint. Beautiful yet powerful tunes and Eagles-esque vocal harmonies surely set this band apart from the other Southern Rock bands of its day and this album is a great example of the Outlaws vocal prowess. A great listen to loud with your car windows open driving down the boulevard on a sunny fall day. This is happy soulful music at its best.

Excellent!! I said this back in the 70s and I hold by it today, this is southern rock at it's finest. "Freeborn Man" and "Stick around for rock & roll" are just a couple tunes on this CD that will get you kickin up your heels. This band is in a class all it's own. Nothin compares, not today, not 30 years ago.

hughie is mythical. his gtr playin' unrivaled. there is music here that soothes the soul and makes one assert: rock lives now and forever! full circle indeed.

The Original Outlaws only recorded three studio albums and one live one. Outlaws, Lady in Waiting, and Hurry Sundown. This one is more country influenced than the other two and has no obvious radio hit, but all the songs are good and extremely well played. My favorite is The Girl From Ohio. This country influenced rock and roll charmer is worth the price of the whole album.

This is a great remaster of this cd. A previous reviewer wrote of not having the 2nd and 3d guitars, but they are all here and loud and clear on my cd.

this is no doubt the outlaws finest album and i find myself listening to it over and over again, i hadn't heard it since high school 25 yrs ago and my god i forgot how great this music is.

love the album. this was a group i listened to in my younger years. great mix of vocals and melodies.

A true southern rock classic! These guys show off some blazing guitar work as well as a rather raw vocal harmony. Tunes range from a bluesy sound to straight forward boogie. If you are a fan of southern rock and plan ol' back porch pickin'. This C.D. is for you.

I have loved this band & this record for 30-odd - very odd years. I have played their songs in bar bands & shamelessly stolen their licks on record - most notably inserting them into the electro pop of St Vytus. I have met them through various stageds of their career, in Detroit, LA & Vegas & they are all truly charming Southern Gents. Although Huey & Billy are greatly missed, Henry and Monte continue to wave the flag with a great bunch of new players, & I hope they record some new stuff soon.
