The CD Outlaws/Hughie Thomasson fans have been waiting almost 20 years for has arrived. 11 cuts, a mixture of rock-tinged country, country-tinged southern rock and straight ahead hot-rockin' flame-throwin' guitar rock. A couple of the cuts (Dancin' Shoes, Mr. Cowboy) are a notch below the others, but the rest of the CD makes you forget about it quickly. You can hear the influence he's picked up playing with Skynyrd, especially on "Hearts Run Wild". If you're a fan, and listen carefully, you will hear subtle hooks and riffs from almost EVERY Outlaws album, carefully crafted into the music. The result is music that's new and vibrant, yet hauntingly familiar to a fan. It's kind of fun listening for them, and then trying to remember which song on which album you heard it on before. One example: The lead guitar "Surrounded By One" is strongly reminicient of "Soldiers of Fortune" or "A Real Good Feelin'". Listening to this CD is like putting on your favorite pair of jeans - it just FEELS right.

For someone who's never heard the Outlaws or Hughie before, here's the CD in 30 words or less: Gordon Lightfoot ditches his acoustic axe and plays Skynyrd-type tunes with a smokin' Stratocaster, steel and slide guitars, harmonica, organ, and fiddle. Awsome harmonies, tight sound.

I'd give this CD 10 stars if I could. If there was any real promotion behind this CD, it would be on the Billboard top 100. My picks for "singles"? "Three Alarm Fire", "Surrounded By One", and "Only Love Will Do". Even the price is great! Order now, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Long Last, The Return of The Outlaws, April 18, 2000

Fans of the southern rock group, The Outlaws will take heart in the fact this release is a return to the sound we all know and love, Guitar driven southern rock with smooth vocals. Hughie Thomasson has once again proven he is a master craftsman. A bit of Skynyrd, Eagles and Country are blended together in "So-Low". I wondered if the title is a subtle in-joke, Hughie has talked about a solo release for years, but why ponder this? buy it...listen to it, you will not be dissapointed. Thank You Hughie, we love you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to form, April 12, 2000

Classic Hughie and Outlaws here. Many songs have that country rock feel of the early Outlaws but with a new sound. Great mix of Ballads and rockers. Maybe the best since Hurry Sundown. Fantastic guitar work by the fender legend! Great remake of the classic song "Dancin' Shoes." If you are an Outlaws fan, it doesn't get much better than this. Buy it now!
