Editorial Reviews

The term "outlaw" had been bandied about after Waylon Jennings' 1972 hit "Ladies Love Outlaws," but it didn't permanently gel until the release of the album Wanted! The Outlaws in 1976. The songs in this packaged product weren't new -- the album contained previously released material by Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and Jennings' wife Jessi Colter (who had hit the charts a year earlier with "I'm Not Lisa"). But it marked the industry's recognition of the changing times, and as the center point of a campaign to publicize Nashville's new "progressive" breed, it worked like a charm. It quickly became the first country album to sell more than a million copies, and it boosted the careers of all involved. [In 1996, RCA reissued Wanted! The Outlaws on CD for the first time, adding one new Waylon & Willie recording (a lively reading of Steve Earle's "Nowhere Road") and nine "lost" tracks. But "lost" isn't really correct: like the original 11 selections, such songs as Waylon's "Slow Movin' Outlaws" and Willie's "Healing Hands of Time" have been previously released. They do, however, sweeten the package, making this 20th anniversary edition a decent (though by no means definitive) sampler of outlaw country.] Kurt Wolff, All Music Guide

June 18, 2005: My mother and I loved this when it came out on cassette - every song was great. Our favorite was "Slow Moving Outlaw". Eventually the cassette wore out and I was thrilled when this came out on c.d. I wasn't as thrilled once I listened to it - the "bonus tracks" weren't much of a bonus, just extra noise piled onto an already perfect collection. Most annoying were the extra tracks by Jessi Coulter. Overall though, the best are still intact, and this is an excellent c.d. for those of us who loved these guys even before the outlaw fad came around.
