Produktbeschreibung

A "compulsively readable" history of how Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson redefined country music ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). Outlaw delves into the country music scene of the late '60s and early '70s, when three rebels-Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson found themselves in Music City writing songs and vying for record deals. Channeling the unrest of the times, all three Country Music Hall of Famers resisted the music business's unwritten rules and emerged as leaders of the outlaw movement that ultimately changed the recording industry. This account offers a broad portrait of the outlaw movement in Nashville that includes a diverse secondary cast of characters, such as Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Kinky Friedman, and Billy Joe Shaver, among others. With archival photographs throughout, Outlawis a comprehensive examination of a fascinating shift in country music, and the three unbelievably talented musicians who forged the way. "[An] engaging cultural history... a fascinating chronicle." - The Washington Post "Riveting." - The Wall Street Journal
