  • AMERICAN SOUTHERN ROCK I HOPE NEVER DIES. !!!!!!

  • What ever happened to great southern rock? Jeez, I miss the '70s and McDuffie high school. I joined the Air Force and was shocked to find that the Okinawans loved Southern Rock.

  • My family was transferred from Albuquerque in 1972 to Bernardsville NJ in 1972, for some reason I picked up the Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and The Outlaws. There first record in 74 has been with me ever since.

  • Saw the Outlaws once I think. Opened for ZZ top (Deguelo tour) in the late 70's at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

  • Yep....This music was a treasure...Why can't we have it back??

  • I seen the outlaws and molly hatchet when i was 15 ,they played at the palace theater in waterbury, ct. back in 77.

  • @werebatt1 Never got to see he Outlaws, saw Molly Hatchet in 84 in Virginia Beach, VA which is odd because I am from Florida.... But DJ( Danny Joe) Brown lead singer for Molly Hatchet remembered the clubs back in the day ans=d we did talk. I dont know him but I know people who he knew etc....

  • i am 13 and i love the 70s 80s rock.ps i get it from my dad

  • Is there anyone here old enough to remember when it was Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker Band and the Outlaws on tour all in one concert ???????? and the Outlaws was the opening act? I guess I am an old fart.... LOL

  • @ohioquakerman yeh man i can remember seeing those bands playin the clubs, tryin to make it big...such good times back then!

  • @ohioquakerman OH YEAH!!  Saw them all here in St. Louis! Charlie Daniels came out and played fiddle with the MTB during 24 Hours at a Time...KICKASS SHOW!

  • @jabnhook8r EITHER YOU GET SOUTHERN ROCK .. OR YOU DON'T. THEY GET IT IN NYC. Paul, Seminole HS, 1978.

  • I MISS THOSE DAYS

  • GOOD ,BUT NO MOLLY HATCHET

  • Wonder if anybody here remember when these guys played a club in north Tampa Fl called the Losers

  • Outlaws and Foghat, so lucky to see that tour!

  • Timothy B. Schmit to this day seems to not have aged. This is the best of the best. God bless southern rock and all of you who dig it. From an old fart.

  • Ah, now this is some great music. Sweet vocal harmonies and guitars that sound like they're playing together rather than trying to one up each other.

  • gonna see them sat night here in MN!!!

    

  • I see that you posted that The Outlaws are playing at Vinoy Park tonite Sat Nov 12 at Ribfest...I am there bro....

  • god bless canada and country music from alberta cant get enough of southern music from the the 70s and 80s

  • @dcaw87,you are in the right generation,it is up to you guys to keep the good Americana going,to live it has to be popular,to be popular it has to be Played and Heard,Youngins,Y'all Play it LOUD AND PROUD!

  • Saw them last night in Jensen Beach FL. Awesome show. They kept playing while we kept partying through the rain storms.

  • '93 here boys kickin it in the KY

  •  Timothy B Schmit on Harmony Vocal.

  • ah yes! around the fire with a keg, yes i remember you well

  • Hey, now I'm proud to be from Tampa!

    Seeing Outlaws at Ribfest this year ^-^

  • Ah, the 70s and good ol' Southern Rock. Great!

  • I remember this song! This was when the music was real and not the crap that is put out today. The Outlaws were one of my favorites back in the day, great cruising and drinking music!

  • I saw the Ouylaws at the frist concert I ever went to. It was the first time they had ever came to Indianapolis, and they were warming up for the Doobie

    Brothers( on their Black Water tour), and even though I liked the Doobie Brothers. I went to see the Outlaws more than I did the doobies. I absoluteluy loved "Green Grass and High Tides." I was 16 years old and had a fantastic time!

  • just hit this song for old times sake--I hope everything is OK all the best to you--Canada is a long way from the "South" but close enough!!

  • Didn't see these guys in 1976.Why you ask?Picture in your mind,a scene out of a Cheech and Chong movie.Before an Outlaws concert in the Tower Theater parking lot,I was about to drink a beer when my friend said... "wait,take a few of these" As I washed down the 3 pills with a mouthful of beer my friend screams out... "NO NO NO dont eat all of those".... AHHHH MAN.... now what.Yup yours truly ingested 3 Rorer 714's.Couldn't tell you if it was a good show or not : )

  • The Outlaws...Right in the same class as Lynyryd Skynyrd, Marschall Tucker Band, and Pure Praire League...I'm just glad I experienced them ALL during my teenage to teen years.

  • @SuperLiftRick lucky mother fucker.

  • God I miss the 70's and southern rock....Except I wasn't born till '91.

  • @dorkfish524 I love 70's and 80s music more then anything and i'm only 13. but i like modern music too. look up rock sugar reimaginator. they mix 2 or 3 songs from the 80s. their newest song that came out is any highway you want, and Sinse your barracuda has been an immigrant. best songs ever.

  • @dorkfish524 burn one it will take you back to 70's

  • @dorkfish524 i was born in '92. I think we were born into the wrong generation.

  • @dorkfish524 SO do I, went to HS in 73 and lived in Florida....... Loved all of the Southern Fried Rock as we called it....

  • It's a shame The Outlaws are not as recognized as Skynard.

  • prayers to you. please have faith in GODs plan for you and your man. he loves you so much.

  • I will say a prayer for your For you and you man. I want to tell you something.  God listens to me. And He answers.

  • The Outlaws take over the Watseka Theatre Watseka Illinois on Friday October 14, 2011

  • the boys are back n town

  • Hughie said they were sitting around before a gig back stage as an opening act when the bass player spotted a hot girl walking pass and said " There Goes Another Love Song" .. and the band literally wrote the entire song in minutes. That is all it takes to go from endless honky tonk two bit gigs to arena headliners. -- 5 words and 3 chords.

  • The Guitar Army as they used to be called !!

  • To majentarocks -- hope your husband is ok. This is a great song. I live in Tampa...i think thats where these guys are from.

  • i love driving through the worst parts of town BLARING The Outlaws and The Marshall Tucker Band. the homeboys dont give me good looks too often hahaha

  • saw these guys in roosevlet Stadium in 1975. they were first of three bands, blew everyone away singing all songs from first album

  • There goes another great Outlaws song! They were definitely among the finest southern rock groups! BobbyK

  • when i was 16, my brother was 19 and he would take me with him where ever he went. his friends became ''my'' friends and they all listened to the Outlaws. my brother loved this band. and now, i'm 49 and my buddy is not here anymore, he died in 2003. but, whenever i hear this song, i think of him and i say'' this song is for u buddy''. RIP, my brother.

  • 8 losers dont like this song!!!

  • so he was the one, that actually paid for the tapes instead of gettin the first ten for a penny, and then not paying? ha

  • @Tomcaatt Oh that was back in the day I loved that scam. lol

  • Yes , proud to say i saw em in 75, some mo a dat ( rock rock) !

  • I remember most all these Southern Rock songs from my father's "Columbia House 8-Track Club"! I remember as a kid getting excited when a new one came in the mailbox outside - wow, I miss those days.

  • were going to see these guys on Saturday in Craig Co. I can't wait!!!!

  • i remember playing this tape in my 64 chevy impala ss and cranking it up,good times when you were a 17 year old kid.

  • thanx big dave

  • This is a great song, totally sums up AM radio in the 70's. Love it!!

  • The Charlie Daniels Band started it for me. The God Father of Southern Rock. and Then I started buying tapes of southern Rockers and loved them all. Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, Elvin Bishop, Marshall Tucker Band, I already knew Skynyrd, But Charlie is still my fav.

  • @cdhiggins79

    If you haven't already, check out The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. : )

  • The Outlaws hit #34 in Billboard, 10-25-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • Saw them in concert in Sacramento in '85 at the Oasis Ballroom. One of the best shows ever.

  • Outlaws right up there with Skynyrd, tunes from the heart.

  • im 16 and the outlaws are one of my favorite band, none of my friends have ever heard of them,they better start soon

  • I think The Outlaws were the first to define country rock. Their concerts were great (1976?).

  • @thehippie1952 Sorry, but Lynyrd Skynyrd came before them. Skynyrd is actually the band that got these guys signed and famous. Love em both though.

  • Comment removed

  • Kickass song

  • Why even have a dislike button for songs like this? 10+

  • yeah!! nice song, much better than the actual music, don't you think?

  • For anyone that thinks that the Southern Rock bands were a bunch of redneck racist, you are flat out wrong. Those bands were about having a good time and just loving life no matter where you came from.

    Rock on!

  • so this isnt rap?

  • What a great song- The Outlaws have such a smooth sound, they're in a category above all other southern rock bands.

  • What kinda douchebag would "thumb down" this song...Must be a disco fan....dumazz

  • memories

  • Oh the mrmories of jamming to this song...God I miss the 70's!!

  • the outlaws were the first show i seen live way back in 78 was so good but i like them so much better now thay rock

  • Southern, Northern, Western, Eastern, who cares? Classic rock at its finest!

  • Hughie is definitely in my top three favorite southern rock guitarists. those country licks that he plays during the second solo aren't easy to pull off.

    R.I.P. Hughie

  • @stratOcasta17 Hughie's the best. The only person in the same category in his league is Steve Gaines. Yes, Ed King, Brent Mason, Albert Lee, Johnny Hiland, Danny Gaton, Doug Seven, and countless others are also good but Hughie was also a composer and wrote some of the best songs ever while he was with The Outlaws. He will always be remembered as one of the greats in my book. His guitar style is definitely extraordinary and his technique is something I would love to master one day.

  • @MrHardrod2 definitely. Steve Gaines was the best guitarist Skynyrd ever had in my opinion.

  • dave - thanks for posting this song/video.

    Come listen to this song and and many other "lost hits" and "chart wonders" from the 70's (and some 80's) on a free internet station, "OffTheCharts"

    Go to Live365.com and type OFF THE CHARTS into the search box. Click on the station logo and the stream should begin. The link to the station is also on my YouTube home page.

    Again, thanks for posting your video/song.

  • FUCK! I'M NOT GAY... BUT I FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS

  • goose bumps!!!!!!!!!!!

  • goose bumps!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm in love with a man who is about to have brain surgery. I play this song everyday to hear the words that express how I feel about him. It may seem silly to some, but we are romantics. Anyone who could say a prayer would be so much appreciated by me.Southern rock is the best comfort food for this soul :)

  • @majentarocks

    God bless you my brother.....

  • @majentarocks I know that this was posted four weeks ago but i hope your man is doing well now and you two are just as in love. God Bless.

SO going too be moms beware to the music your unborn child is around music MATTERS!!!!!!!! kids 15= 25 can not play music with my son,,That is why he plays with guys in their early and late 40s,,

  • Gotta Love The Roots of Southern Rock. Growed up in SC, listening to music like this all my life. Ain't stopped yet, ain't gonna!

  • Ladymesc1, I agree with ya!! Southern rock has that special feel and sound!

  • Great tune. 

  • Does anyone find it interesting that what was once called "Southern Rock" is mainstream country music today.....Just an observation. Can we say "influence"?

  • @rfw45 Exactly! Great point.

    Jason Aldean or even Toby Keith years ago would be pigeon holed as souther rock and on and on.

  • Doesn't get any better than this

  • Wow, so many boring people with nothing better to do. So sad!!!!!

  • Awesome, thanks!

  • hughie played with skynyrd from 96 til about 2004 or 2005 and then brought back the outlaws for a 30th anniversary tour...

    ht was the commander and chief of the FLA guitar army

  • I am 16 years old and I went and saw these guys last summer with Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker. It's still one of the best concerts I've been to.

  • AWESOME....

  • Our society needs more Southern Rock to bring upon everyone a common sence of pease and tranquility. Yeah, I'm a Redneck from the 70's and still living on in my ways...Bring it back....our Nation WILL be better for having done so.

  • @SuperLiftRick I agree. Our country was founded on the principle of working hard, working some more and then relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If that means drinking a few too many beers and saying something that may not be politically correct, so be it. Go Ghost Riders on the Storm [];-)

  • @SuperLiftRick Hey man, totally agree. I've loved this song all my life, and I also love tupac. and the stones.

  • @SuperLiftRick I would agree with you but you spelled sense wrong and that altered my decision.

  • @SirhcOltnam Maybe he's from the UK.

  • @Crewclock In the UK it is still spelt with an s. Its obviously just a typo, mate.

  • @SuperLiftRick You are too right man. I mean I'm not American, I'm Canadian, but it doesn't matter what nationality you are, nothing beats being out in the country in front of a fire drinking beer and listening to Skynyrd and Outlaws.

  • @18andLifeSR

    And possibly smoking some fine Ontario hydro. Cottage country , beer and rock and roll FTW.

  • @AngusShanks Right you are! Ontario hydro haha lovin cottage country. I'm from Ontario so I love going there.

  • @18andLifeSR

    I'm not even from an English speaking country and I love The Outlaws. I'd say that The Outlaws are one of the best things that America has ever produced.

  • @ivanstojanovic85 Right on man. You know what good music is for sure and thats awsome.

  • @18andLifeSR and Molly Hatchet.

  • @18andLifeSR ug canadian beer.... lol

  • @sbseed lol the best in the world

  • @18andLifeSR Dude, given the sheer size of Canada, and the coolness of Canucks, I'll bet more Canadians are out drinking beer by a campfire and digging on some classic rock at any given time than down here in the states.

  • @tdelamont haha thanks man and ya I wasn't gonna say it but probably. I love doin that it's my favourite thing to do out of anything. Plus we have awsome beer. lol It seems as though the further south in the states you go the more they are like us in the north though.

  • @18andLifeSR Well said sir!

  • i m canadian too but god please bring back southern rock amen!!!!!

  • RIP,Hughie!

  • I saw the Outlaws and Charlie Daniels in Hawaii in 1980. Awesome concert.

  • I once went out with someone who hated this song and all Southern rock bands. What a total bore! Dumped that person immediately!

    If this doesn't grab your soul, you don't have one.

  • @ladymesc1 You made a good choice sir or ma'am : )

  • @wizardlyTKO Thank you. And by the way, it's ma'am :)

  • @ladymesc1 *Tips hat* You are welcome Ma'am. ^_^

  • @ladymesc1 crazyyyyy>..

  • @ladymesc1 god i hope you're female. but then again, what's the use. it's not like i'll find a female like you anyway...

  • @bukk3t Yes, I am happy to say I AM female. And thank you. You might not find me, but you'll find what you're looking for if you search hard enough for it...and that includes not only females. I promise. Think of me when you do find it.

  • @ladymesc1 ... I might suggest that it is those who have no tolerance for diversity of opinion are the ones who have no soul

  • @09Libertarian I might suggest you didn't know my ex. The music was only a symptom of THAT person's extreme intolerance. Have a nice day.

  • @ladymesc1 ... point taken. Have a great day yourself

  • @ladymesc1 Will you marry me? ;-)

  • @Demspissmeoff My goodness! You flatter me! ;)

  • @ladymesc1 southern rock is the shit!!!!!!

  • @jtxhorns Those guitars blow me away every time.

  • This was one of the first concert I ever saw...Many years age...think I was 15...loved them ever since!!

  • A common thread I've been seeing is that The Outlaws were a great concert group...and routinely kicked tails out of the headliner bands. They really had superb guitarists.

  • Excellent song... love southern rock!!

  • I quit my job to see these guys in 1979 - was worth it

  • @obtucewillie ........ ur fckn great!

  • @obtucewillie .... I don't know you...but your comment made you one of the most awesome people ever! \m/

  • @obtucewillie true fan man.

  • @obtucewillie Where did you see them?

  • @jdrock14 Kiel opera house St. Louis - sold out jam packed. I also saw the CDB there the night Skynyrds plane crashed. Charlie came out and told the crowd before they all came out to play - was a starnge feeling - will never forget.
