go down...go DOWN to Knoxville GIRL....Outlaws 2008

[spoildn8410]

Yeah, but there was never a band quite like The Outlaws. They

lost Billy Jones, they finally lost Hughie Thomasson, And more.

I have the first two, and they were not exquisite, YET those albums

and Hurry Sundown stood the test of time, at least in their time.

Billy Jones sang a kind of gospel tune, which was amazing in my

mind. Plus the band rocked Ohio. I saw them in Greenville, NC, and

they put Molly Hatchet to rest. Maybe my favorite Southern Rock

band.

I agree, I have seen this lineup as well. Henry on guitar and vocal along with Monte on drums are from the band's beginnings. Randy Threet on bass and Chris Anderson on guitar played with Hughie in his last version of the band. Add to that is Billy Crain an awesome guitarist that played with Henry in the Henry Paul Band. Great band.

The current line up of this band is tremendous! I've see them 3 times this year & I'm itching to see them more. If there are any doubters out there go see for yourself. They'll blast most bands off the stage if not all of them. Great guitar & great harmonies. I can't imagine any other line up would carry on the legend of The Outlaws the way these guys do. Their new Demo CD is real good too. The songs are forever singing through the breeze. Outlaws forever!

Cheers!

Amazing. Did any one ever hear the original version from the Louvin Brothers? Thats the song that Hughie, Billy, and Henry re arranged to get this version. It really is something the way they took that slow song, and fired it up to this ones speed, and style.

[BIGBUCK20]

Their music IS timeless! Thanks to all of them for keeping it going. RIP Hughie!!!

Everyone knows that musicians come and go in bands and its very seldom that bands stay intact for very long. The important thing here is these guys are trying to keep the music going, thats what drives them in the first place. So lets not forget Hughie,Billy and Frank and just be glad The Outlaws are still making great music.

No there not the Southern Guitar Army anymore and NO band will ever be like the original Outlaws but good music is timeless.

I always thought HP had a good voice and am glad to see him amd Monte keeping the sound alive. Hughie and Billy were the best.

[BIGBUCK20]

I saw them in Washington Pa in Aug and thought they still rocked out. It's a bit different w/o Hughie but they're fightin for another day!!!

[six2112]

Sorry....I know I'll take crap for saying it but this is not the Outlaws.

[JRGUITAR]

Everyone is certainly entitled to an opinion, and I like to leave them on. In my opinion, The Outlaws were not the Outlaws the day Hank (et al) left to form HPB, yet they slogged on for another decade or two anyway :-)

I am more with the comments below who seem to think this is a nice tribute to Hughie.

He's gone man......time to move on.

[six2112]

I hear you dude....I just never thought of Henry as a driving force of the Outlaws. He wrote some good songs but I always felt Hughie was the talent in the band.

[JRGUITAR]

No argument there......let's call it "mutual" and rock on....thanks for the posts.......JR

[RossM3838]

@six2112 Hughie and Bill Jones were the driving force for sure but Henry gave the band its country music soul and distinctive sound. When he left the band was still great but something was missing and it slowly went downhill. Here we have Henry and Monte from the original Outlaws, Dave Anderson who was close to Hughie, and two from Blackhawk and Bill Crain from the Henry Paul Band. They may not be the Outlaws but they are genuine and really good.

[six2112]

@RossM3838 No argument that it's a top notch band. To me, they are an excellent Outlaws tribute band....but not the Outlaws.

[steven09566]

What a tribute to the Great Hughie Thommason!! I'm going to see them at the BB Kings Blues Club on January 16,2009, this friday. Thank god that Henry Paul and Monte Yoho continue the tradition of Outlaws Music!!!

[BIGBUCK20]

Couldn't agree more!  I saw them in Washington Pa last Aug and they kicked ass! Long live the Outlaws!!! RIP to Hughie!

[grits2112]

Still can't bring myself to go see the new band. This is the first time I even looked at anything from them.

Can't even sing Green Grass on Rockband with my kid.

I miss you Hughie.

[BIGBUCK20]

Saw the show in Washington Pa on 22 Aug 08. These guys are still all they want to be!!!!! RIP to Hughie!!!!!!!!

[Jamdor78]

Here,here! Lovin the new Outlaws. Keep playin' and everything's gonna be alright

[AugieDog6]

i never got to see hughie but i've seen this new lineup twice and they're unreal. amazingly tight and billy and chris trade off licks like nobody's business. hopw they keep going as long as they can.

[hans807]

Just saw them Saturday! I agree, a great show. RIP Hughie - no worries, the boys are carrying on...

[clydeman]

This was one of the best shows I've seen in years. All Outlaws fans miss Hughie, but this lineup sounds great and it's a real treat to see Billy Crain back on stage again. Hank, you rule. Thanks for a great show.
