Description
Outlaw by acclaimed writer Michael Streissguth follows the stories of three legends as they redefined country music: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.
Streissguth delves into the rustic music scene within the late ’60s and early ’70s, when these rebels found themselves in Music City writing songs and vying for record deals. Channeling the unrest of the days, all three Country Music Hall of Famers resisted the music industry’s unwritten rules and emerged as leaders of the outlaw movement that in the end changed the recording industry.
Outlaw offers a broad portrait of the outlaw movement in Nashville that features a diverse secondary cast of characters, such as Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Kinky Friedman, and Billy Joe Shaver, among others.
With archival photographs right through, Outlaw is a comprehensive examination of a captivating shift in country music, and the 3 unbelievably talented musicians who forged the way in which.
