Wanted The Outlaws 1976-1996 20th Anniversary

Description

Reissue of the mid-’70s outlaw country classic featuring
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser, with original
artwork, liner notes (from Chet Flippo) and nine “lost” tracks!
Less successful when it’s sentimental (Waylon Jennings’ “My Heroes Have Always
Been Cowboys”) than when it’s wry (Willie Nelson’s myth-puncturing “Me and
Paul”), this cash-in compilation of previously released cuts was just in time
to grab the first platinum record ever awarded a country album. It’s not bad,
but both Jennings’ contemporaneous Dreaming My Dreams and Nelson’s Red Headed
Stranger are more nuanced tastes of the good-bad-but-not-evil-ol’-boy
lifestyle. (Not to mention much of Tompall Glaser’s own Outlaw compilation.)
This 1996 CD reissue adds nine more tracks from the era as well as a new
Jennings-and-Nelson version of Steve Earle’s “Nowhere Road.” –Rickey Wright
