Biografia:
A Outlaws, de Tampa, Flórida, EUA, construiu uma sólida popularidade fundindo os estilos country + vocais harmoniosos da Eagles (o produtor da Eagles, Bill Szymczyk, produziu "Hurry Sundown" [nota minha: disco de 1977 da Outlaws]) e o southern + duas guitarras da Allman Brothers. A Outlaws era empresariada por Alan Walden, que achou antiético manter um relacionamento comercial com seu irmão Phil, que dirigia a Capricorn; a Outlaws, então, assinou com a Arista, de Clive Davis, sendo, aliás, a primeira contratação da gravadora.

Não obstante o sugestivo nome, a sonoridade da Outlaws mostrava-se consideravelmente mais branda em comparação, por exemplo, com Molly Hatchet e .38 Special, seus correligionários de gênero e com quem compartilhou a primeira apresentação e um circuito de shows. A Outlaws figurou esporadicamente nas paradas pop com "There Goes Outra Love Song" (34° lugar em 1975), além de dois sucessos menores e "(Ghost") Riders In The Sky" (31° lugar em 1980). Henry Paul liderou sua própria banda depois de deixar a Outlaws em 1977, mas em 1983 ele voltou ao grupo. "Ghost Riders", "Bring It Back Alive" e "Outlaws" ganharam discos de ouro.

Em 1993, Paul formou a Blackhawk. Em 1994, a Outlaws organizou a excursão "Southern Spirit", com a Marshall Tucker Band e a .38 Special. Jones e O'Keefe morreram com diferença de poucas semanas um do outro, em 1995. O guitarrista Hughie Thomasson integrou a Lynyrd Skynyrd a partir da metade dos anos 90 até 2005 (nota minha: Thomasson faleceu em 9 de setembro de 2007). Já o ex-guitarrista Freddie Salem abriu uma casa noturna em Akron, Ohio, sua terra natal (The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll. Third Edition. Edited by Holly George-Warren and Patricia Romanowski. New York: Fireside, 2001, p. 730; tradução livre do inglês).
