    I lived in Massachusetts in the early 90's when it was announced that The Outlaws would be playing a local club. It was in February and the day of the show there was a huge blizzard. I knew the show would be cancelled but I drove out there about 8 pm, just to check. I walked in and the bartender said the band was already there and the show was going to go on. When they came on stage around 10 pm, I kid you not, there were about 25 people in the place. They came on and played an entire show, just like they were playing to 25,000 instead of 25. They ended the show with this song and after that they set down their instruments they came out to chat with the crowd. I got to meet Huey and chat with him and the other members of the band . It is a memory I will never forget...

      Agreed. I was born in '92 so my love for classic rock was indoctrinated by my dad and some bands/songs slipped through the cracks. The first time I heard this was about two years ago (at 27 years old) and my first thought was: "This is basically Free Bird but even better." Southern rock, heavy guitar emphasis with very extended guitar solos, way longer than most classic rock songs, etc. Blew me away. I listened to it on repeat for days if not weeks after discovering it and it's become a song that will always be in regular rotation.

That's Hughie wearing the black hat (he's dressed like he usually was when he played with Lynyrd Skynyrd). Billy Jones was long gone by the time Hughie put the Outlaws back together so obviously he's not there. Hughie died not too long after this show was recorded, so the guys touring nowadays as the Outlaws (under the direction of Henry Paul) are not really the Outlaws.

    On June 20, 1981 The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Marshall Tucker, and The Allman Brothers Band rocked Philadelphia's JFK Stadium in what was billed as The Roundup. Was 100 degrees in the shade. I was about to turn 19 years old and it was without a doubt one of the best days of my life. Looking back, I really had no idea of the greatness that I was witnessing. God bless these incredible musicians for what they brought to the table and for sounding as fresh and incredible today as they did then. And God bless whoever drove me home from that show!

    Of all the remarkable musicians born of the southern rock explosion of the early 70's-I think Hughie was the greatest of the great. What an amazing talent. Saw Outlaws 6 or 7 times over the years, thankfully caught a FREE show at Mohegan Sun in CT with this line up- only weeks before Hughies tragic and untimely passing,
    Back in the day,('78) you could see the Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, AND .38 Special at an
    outdoor show for 8 bucks. Good times.

Bass player, Randy Threet and of course, the legendary Hughie Thomasson (along with double drummers Monte Yoho and David Dix ).

    I had the album on vinyl in 1974. One of my most treasured possessions. I would get smoked up, put on the headphones, lay down on the bed, turn off the light and just let them carry me away. They were so great and their really long jam was so good. Every one was an extremely talented guitarist. SURE WISH I STILL HAD THAT ALBUM. 😪

    By far the best Classic Rock tune of all time - Southern or otherwise! I wore out at least 4 LP's (still have the last one), a handful of 8 track tapes and a cassette tape or two all before 1990! Man their first three albums were all primo- Lady in Waiting & Hurry Sundown were perfect follow-ups to the first self titled Album. I saw them at least 5 times in the mid- late 70's, great times. Around 1981 I saw Henry Paul (solo) at a dive bar near the campus of Virginia Tech- it was a pretty bad scene- he was really shit faced, about 3 songs in someone hit him with a beer bottle and it was on, all hell broke loose- what a night.

The wall of amps,10 feet high and from one side of the stage to the other, 7 guitars, 2 drum sets and 10,000 people having a great time (My shoulders were sore from being tapped so many times. If you don't know what that means ask your parents.) will always be burned into my memory as one of the best concerts I ever saw.

    i had the pleasure of meeting Hughie back in the early 80s. i was a friend of a guy that grew up with Hughie down in florida n every time the outlaws came to town he would get free tickets n backstage passes. at the 1st concert where i got to sit on the edge of the stage i had the misfortune of going back stage and helping myself to what was left of a bottle jack Danials. shortly after the band ended their set and came backstage....well Hughie stepped over to the table, picked up the empty bottle and screamed at the top of his lungs "who is the m.....r F....r who drank my jack??!!" my friend larry stepped forward and pointed me out. i thought i was dead. but ol Hughie broke out in a huge laugh slapped me on the back then even signed my shirt. gotta say he was one hell of a great guy n he is sorely missed.

I'be only had the pleasure of seeing these guys once back in the late 80's. They opened for Charlie in Homestead, FL. I have all the album's on vinyl. Except for Dixie Highway, the newest one. Henry wrote a great tune on it called Southern Rock Will Never Die with Tommy Crain's brother Billy. God bless Hughie, Charlie, Duane, Toy, Taz, and everyone we've lost over the decades.
