Tompall Glaser Rogue CD (1992) (Import) Import; Germany

Outlaw album

$20.39
This CD contains 12 previously unreleased tracks from the mid-70s and 10 tracks from the mid-80s. A companion to Bear Family's other 1992 Tompall Glaser set, The Outlaw -- a CD that offered his two 1977 ABC LPs, Tompall Glaser and His Outlaw Band and The Wonder of It All -- The Rogue has nothing but unreleased Tompall music: a scrapped third album for ABC called Unwanted Outlaw and a collection of "World War II-era favorites" recorded roughly a decade later. Bear Family atypically offers no session information on either album -- perhaps Glaser was not forthcoming, perhaps no records were kept -- which is a little frustrating, but it doesn't change the broad strokes of this collection: namely, that the relatively recent collection of WWII standards -- which stands as his last released recordings as of this writing -- is a stronger, sparer record than his 1986 LP Nights on the Borderline and Unwanted Outlaw isn't quite as slick as The Wonder of It All, although it comes close. The WWII album opens The Rogue -- again, Bear Family leads with the last album first, for no apparent purpose -- and while it's a little sleepy and perhaps a bit too clean, it's relaxed and nature in a way that Glaser hasn't sounded since his prime MGM recordings. The same can't quite be said for Unwanted Outlaw, which might not be as resplendent of the '70s as The Wonder of It All (although "The Man You Think to See" feels ...

Buck Owens Together Again/My Heart Skips A Beat CD (1964)

Outlaw CD music

$11.59

If you wanted to give someone the quintessential Bakersfield honky-tonk country album (that wasn't a Merle Haggard album), THIS would be it. The beat, strong yet possessed of a near-shuffle-type groove, the chilling harmonies, the weeping pedal steel, the terse twang of the guitars and Owens' expressive singing combine with memorable originals and classic covers ("Close Up the Honky Tonks," "Truck Drivin' Man," "A-11") and a countrified take on the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me" comprise a country music album classic. Named after his double-sided number one hit single of early 1964, Together Again/My Heart Skips a Beat is one of Buck Owens' strongest albums of the '60s, as well as one of his few records to stick firmly in the honky tonk camp. Despite the rolling drums of "My Heart Skips a Beat," the jumpy "Truck Drivin' Man," the jokey "Ain't It Amazin' Gracie," and a Bakersfield overhaul of "Save the Last Dance for Me," the majority of the album is straight-ahead honky tonk. Whether it's Owens' excellent weepers "I Don't Hear You" and "Getting Used to Losing You," or terrific versions of classics like "Close Up the Honky Tonks" and "A-11," the record is filled with superb, pure honky tonk. Sundazed's CD reissue adds the singles "Love's Gonna Live Here" and "Act Naturally," which don't follow in the honky tonk theme of the album, but since both are classics, it's not ...

Very Best Of Jessi Colter: An Outlaw... A Lady CD (2003)

Outlaw music CDs

$11.69

Recorded between 1972 & 1981. Includes liner notes by Keith Zimmerman. An Outlaw...a Lady: The Very Best of Jessi Colter is a long-overdue full-length compilation of Colter's most popular recordings of the 1970s and '80s. Among its 18 tracks are nine of her ten Top 50 country hits, including two licensed from RCA Victor, "Suspicious Minds" and "Under Your Spell Again," both duets with her husband, Waylon Jennings. (A third RCA hit with Jennings, "Storms Never Last," is presented here in Colter's solo recording of the song for Capitol.) The country Top Ten medley of the 1952 country hits "Wild Side of Life/It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" (the two songs conveniently have the same melody) is another duet with Jennings, and then there is the number one country/number four pop signature song "I'm Not Lisa" and its number five country follow-up, "What's Happened to Blue Eyes," plus the down-chart country hits "It's Morning (And I Still Love You)," "Without You," "I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name," and "Maybe You Should've Been Listening." The collection ...

Shooter Jennings Put The O Back In Country CD (2005)

Outlaw songs

$6.59

The long hair and beard, the distinctive black Fender Telecaster, the 1970s-style logo--it all looks so familiar, almost like a Waylon Jennings record. Many listeners may have this sense of deja vu when first presented with PUT THE O BACK IN COUNTRY. This is understandable, of course, since Shooter Jennings is indeed the son of the Outlaw country hero. Despite the striking visual resemblance, however, those searching for a straight-up HONKY TONK HEROES redux may want to look elsewhere. Sure, the album is as rough and ready as the elder Jennings's '70s work, and features a guest appearance from George Jones. However, the aesthetic here often has more to do with the punky No Depression sound of Uncle Tupelo and Slobberbone than with the 1970s Outlaw scene. Raging rock guitars and pounding John Bonham-esque drums are often the order of the day ("4th Of July," "Steady at the Wheel," "Daddy's Farm"), though the Charlie Daniels-style violin and sliding steel guitar ("Solid Country Gold") serve to occasionally remind the listener of Shooter's pedigree. A little bit country, a lot more rock & roll, and filled to the brim with Waylon-like attitude, PUT THE O BACK IN COUNTRY ...

Merle Haggard Going Where The Lonely Go/That's The Way Love Goes CD (2005)

Outlaw album

$13.05

The 1980s weren't kind to Merle Haggard--the decade's air of ersatz optimism and its featherweight pop songs were anathema to his gritty, workingman ballads, while country music's newfound prissy puritan streak signaled the demise of the traditional drinking song that remained his forte. Despite his lack of chart success, however, Haggard's remarkable songwriting abilities are very much in evidence all over this budget-priced twofer--in GOING WHERE THE LONELY GO's title track, in "Why Am I Drinking" (the kind of barroom classic Haggard seemed to be able to write in his sleep), and in the painful honesty of "Half a Man." Though the focused production of THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES has the edge, Haggard's world-weary vocals and unerring ear for a turn of phrase make both these albums worthy ...

Tompall Glaser Lovin Her Was Easier/After All These Years CD (2006)

Outlaw CD music

$9.25

As outlaws slowly but surely metamorphosized into slick Urban Cowboys, the orneriest of all outlaws Tompall Glaser made a typically unpredictable move: he reunited with his estranged brothers. He had left them behind at the beginning of the '70s as he pursued wilder, woollier territory, but when he teamed back up with his siblings he smoothed out some of his rough edges -- not so much making concessions to contemporary trends as simply fitting back in with his old crew. The Glaser Brothers signed to Elektra and released two records -- 1981's Lovin Her Was Easier and the following year's After All These Years -- that straddled the line between Tompall's outlaw and urban cowboy; the attitude was a bit rebellious but the sound made the albums easier fits for a country radio that was getting increasingly slick. And these two records did make some impact on the airwaves -- the cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)" was a significant hit, reaching number two on the country charts -- and in retrospect they have many of the aural hallmarks of early-'80s country-pop, particularly in the big drums and polished veneer that sounded like it was built on synths even if it wasn't. Even so, beneath that sheen the Glaser Brothers were as thankfully idiosyncratic as ever in their song choices and how they blended ...

Chris Hillman Like A Hurricane CD (1998)

Outlaw music CDs

$15.35

This is a solid album of new and old songs by one of the founding fathers of country rock. Chris Hillman has a wonderful voice, great pop instincts, and a finely developed talent for splicing together country, bluegrass, and four-chord rock & roll. A highlight is a cover of the Searchers' "When You Walk in the Room" -- two minutes of pure jingle-jangle pop perfection. Although "Like a Hurricane" (the title track is a Hillman original, not the Neil Young song) seldom reaches the heights of "Bakersfield Bound," Hillman and Herb Pedersen's outstanding 1996 tribute to hard California country, this former Byrd and Flying Burrito Brother can still teach the young country crowd a thing or two. ~ Joel Roberts Recorded at American Recording Company, Calabasas, California. Personnel: Chris Hillman (vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin); Jim Monahan (acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar, mandolin); John Jorgenson (electric guitar, 12-string guitar, percussion); Michael Monarch (electric guitar, bottleneck guitar); Steve Hill ...

Kathy Mattea Untasted Honey CD (1987)

Outlaw songs

$6.29

In many ways, Kathy Mattea's Untasted Honey is about as close as she's ever come to recording a bluegrass album. Of course, it's not bluegrass; it's more like Nash Vegas grass. The appearance of players and singers like Tim O'Brien, David Schnaufer, Ray Flynn, Ray Flacke, and a host of others suggests Mattea is sticking close to the roots formula. Her reliance on songs by O'Brien, Fred Koller, Don Henry, and Pat Alger also directs the mix in a certain direction. With producer Allen Reynolds and backing vocals by O'Brien, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and John Thompson, this set is consistently fine. All of the songs seem to segue into one another, creating a tapestry, or a series of snapshots placed together in an album. "Untold Stories," a flashy stomp & roller with the influence of Bill Monroe haunting the background, is a hell of an opener -- especially with the mandolin and guitar solos. The Nelson Brothers' "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses" is a song Rodney Crowell wishes he would have written, and as storyteller here, Mattea is so deep inside the story it's difficult to tell if she's recording a story or giving the listener a recounting of something that happened to her. "Late in the Day" is another O'Brien winner, full of rambling pedal steel and entwined acoustic guitars. Other standouts include the title track, with a virtual choir of backing vocalists and the punch of Bob Ray's voice. This is the most '80s neo-trad country track on the set, and ...
