To listen to The Outlaws is an amazing experience. Blazing melodic guitars. Terrific harmonies. Technical virtuosity. And just plain out great rock n roll.

This band never really got the credit they deserved. Even there less known stuff is great. I really believe the Outlaws have the top guitar unit in rock n roll. There picking acumen, feel, speed and melody are all as good as it gets!

Great vocals, too!

This album is there first offering and its a strong one. You got your well-known radio play "There Goes another love song" and "Green Grass". Also strong are the other entries, there isn't a bad song on the CD.

"Knoxville Girl" has a strong bluegrass influence. "Stay With Me" is a flat out upbeat rocker. "Song In The Breeze" is harmony heaven and "It Follows From Your Heart" is a great number, a slow ballad which veers from normal Outlaw fare.

Also check out the solo in "Cry No More". great guitar work by Hughie thomasson and Billy Jones.

The Outlaws first album ranks with the best of all time! The lush, but not overplayed, guitar harmonies. The Point / Counterpoint of Billy Jones (Les Paul) & Hughie Thomasson's (Stratocaster)Guitars. Their guitars, and Vocals, along with those of Henry Paul, bring a touch of bluegrass to Rock, and sweet background vocals, like birds, add up to the most amazing "Band Sound". While all Outlaws albums are keepers, "The Outlaws", is a MUST, for any serious music collector, or listener. Green Grass and High Tides is not the only high spot! You will be asked "Hey, What disc is that?" a lot! Pete Alberts

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern Rock At It's Best, May 3, 2001

This review is from: Outlaws (Audio CD)

The debut l.p. by Tampa, Florida's Outlaws was by far their best effort. Dual lead guitarists Huey Thomasson and Billy Jones were the energy in this band. Just listen to "Green Grass High Tides" and you'll understand. The 1975 radio smash "There Goes Another Love Song" was typical of the Southern rock sound at that time. Also, guitarist/vocalist Henry Paul added that "real" country vocal style of singing to this great band. The band did go on to release some great l.p.'s, but in my opinion nothing compares to this debut release. Thomasson is now a member of the "new" Lynyrd Skynyrd and although The Outlaws are no longer around listening to this newly remastered cd will bring back memories of the good ol' seventies!
