Outlaws, the 1975 debut from Tampa's Outlaws, came out on Arista with Paul A. Rothchild producing, and it put a new spin on Southern rock. The band had three frontmen, Hughie Thomasson, Henry Paul and Billy Jones, each writing and singing, and they mixed the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd with the country-rock harmonies of the Byrds, Poco and the Eagles, plus a dash of bluegrass. Thomasson's quick, country-flecked picking drives the whole thing.
Paul's songs, "Song in the Breeze", "Stay with Me" and "Knoxville Girl", lean country, while Jones and Thomasson lock horns in dueling guitar lines elsewhere. "There Goes Another Love Song" was the hit single, but the monster is "Green Grass and High Tides", a sprawling guitar jam that rock radio still can't resist. Critics liked it, it reached number 13 on the Billboard album chart, and it turned the band into a big live draw.
