The southern rock/country-band Outlaws was formed as early as 1967 by Hughie Thomasson and some others. Frank O'Keefe came in in 1968 and Monte Yoho in 1969. They had then made two albums but none of them were released. In 1971 Henry Paul together with Monte Yoho and Frank O'Keefe formed the band Sienna, which soon changed their name to Outlaws. This, their debutalbum is a mix of rock and country, containing three guitarrists and they sure used the guitars in the best possible way in their different types of songs and in their southernrocksstyle guitarduelling and fantastic soloing. The songs are among the best southernrock/countryrocksongs I have ever heard and this albums is one that I often listen to, it's a perfect partyalbum!

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard!

Hughie Thomasson died in his sleep of an heartattack in 2007.

Billy Jones comitted suicide in 1995.

Frank O'Keefe also died in 1995.
