  • Outlaws are a southern rock band formed in Tampa, Florida in late 1967 by guitarist/vocalist Hughie Thomasson, drummer David Dix, bassist Phil Humberg, guitarists Hobie O'Brien and Frank Guidry, plus singer Herb Pino. Guidry brought the name Outlaws with him when he joined(he'd been in another group that had that name). Previous to Guidry's arrival the band had been called The Rogues, then The Four Letter Words. By early 1968 O'Brien & Humberg both had left the band to get married and Frank O'Keefe came in on bass. In the spring of 1968 the group's first manager, Paul D. , brought them to Epic Studios in NYC to record an album which was never released after the band and the producer of the album had a falling out. Guidry left at this point after differences with the manager. The group headed back to Tampa, then got another deal to go to Criteria Studios in Miami to record another album with producer Phil Gernhard. But this album was likewise never released and Gernhard vanished soon after. Ronny Elliott was brought in around this time to play bass while O'Keefe briefly switched to guitar. But O'Keefe went back to bass after Elliott left in 1969 and Herb Pino began playing guitar as well as singing by this time. Drummer Monte Yoho came in that same year to sub for Dix. In early 1970, the Outlaws were joined by two members of the Dave Graham Group that was also managed by Paul D. (Ped-Dyn. Productions. ) The Dave Graham Group's Union leader was Monte Yoho but he was not invited to be part of this line-up. The early 1970 Outlaws line-up was Hughie Thomasson, Frank O'Keefe, Dave Dix, Billy Jones and Dave Graham. Graham was influential in moving the group toward country-rock, especially the music of Poco. They recorded a cover of the Doors "Five to One" as an audition to a recording deal that never materialized. This grouping disbanded in the Spring of 1970 and the group eventually parted ways with Paul D. Yoho and Herb Pino returned, but by 1971 the offers for gigs had slowed down and the group went into limbo for a year or so not sure if they would continue. In 1971 Henry Paul, a singer & guitarist who was born in New York but grew up in the Tampa area, returned from a stay in Greenwich Village NYC to form Sienna, which was more of a country rock outfit. He was joined by Monte Yoho and Frank O'Keefe. In 1972 Hughie Thomasson, himself returned from a brief spell in New York where he'd been backing up folksinger Milton Carroll, joined up with Paul, Yoho and O'Keefe and Sienna became the reborn Outlaws Billy Jones, who would sometimes show up to jam with the group on organ in 1971 & 1972, returned from a stint in Boulder, Colorado in 1973 and switched to guitar, giving birth to the band's first infamous guitar trio later dubbed "The Florida Guitar Army". O'Keefe left the group temporarily in 1973-74. Buzzy Meekins and another bassist named Rick stood in until he was able to return. In 1974 Charlie Brusco signed on as manager for The Outlaws. Alan Walden was told of the group by Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Ronnie Van Zant and he joined forces with Brusco as co-manager. The band was the first act signed to Arista Records under Clive Davis. Davis was in the audience at a show in 1974 where the band was opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Columbia, South Carolina. At the end of Lynyrd Skynyrd's set, lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant said from the stage: “If you don’t sign the Outlaws, you’re the dumbest music person I’ve ever met—and I know you’re not. ” The Outlaws' earliest well known songs were "There Goes Another Love Song" and "Green Grass and High Tides", both from their 1975 self-titled debut album. Their 1981 cover of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" from the album Ghost Riders was their biggest single chart success, reaching #31 on the Billboard "Pop Singles" chart.
  • Outlaws sind eine US-Amerikanische Rockband. Neben Gruppen wie der Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, der Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet, der Charlie Daniels Band oder Black Oak Arkansas gehören sie zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern des Southern Rock. Gegründet wurden The Outlaws 1972 in Tampa, Florida. Gründungsmitglieder waren Billy Jones (Gitarre), Henry Paul (Gitarre), Hughie Thomasson (Gitarre), Monte Yoho (Schlagzeug) und Frank O´Keefe (Bass). O´Keefe wurde 1977 durch Harvey Arnold ersetzt. Mit den Qualitäten von Hugh Tomasson, der die meisten Lieder komponierte, schuf sich die Band in kurzer Zeit eine große Fangemeinde. Ihren ersten Plattenvertrag unterschrieb die Band beim Arista Label. Das Debütalbum erreichte die Nummer 13 in den Billboard Charts. Dies lag auch an ihrem bekanntesten Song "Green Grass And High Tides", mit dem die Band vor allem live überzeugen konnte. Weitere Erfolge konnten die Outlaws mit "There Goes Another Love Song" und "Lady In Waiting" verbuchen. "Lady in Waiting" war auch der Titel ihres zweiten Albums. Die Anstrengung einer großen Tournee durch die Staaten machte es nötig, einen zweiten Schlagzeuger zu suchen. Nacheinander verließen Henry Paul, Monte Yoho und Harvey Arnold 1979 die Band. 1981 schaffte die Band mit dem Titelsong ihres neuen Albums "Ghost Rider" in die Top 20 zu gelangen. Dies war vorerst der letzte größere Erfolg. Hugh Thomasson blieb als einziges Gründungsmitglied zurück und löste die Band kurz nach dem Erscheinen des Albums "Les Hombres Malo" auf, um sie nach einigen Soloplatten 1986 wieder neu zu formieren. Bis zu seinem Tod 2007 war Hugh Thomasson fester Bestandteil von Lynyrd Skynyrd geworden und war hier auch als Songschreiber tätig. Die Gründungsmitglieder Hughie Thomasson, Henry Paul und Monte Yoho gingen mit den Outlaws ab 2005 wieder auf Tournee durch die Staaten. Im Januar 2006 verließ Henry Paul mit Dave Robbins die Outlaws, um sich ihrem Bandprojekt Blackhawk zu widmen. Die letzte Tour der Outlaws 2007 endete abrupt mit dem plötzlichen Tod von Hughie Thomasson am 9. September 2007. Im Dezember 2007 wurden auf der Homepage der Band neue Tourneedaten für 2008 veröffentlicht. Die Band besteht seither aus Henry Paul (Gitarre/Gesang), Chris Anderson (Gitarre/Gesang), Billy Crain (Gitarre), Jon Coleman (Keyboards), Brett Cartwright (Bass), und Monte Yoho (Schlagzeug).

  • Outlaws, ook bekend als The Tampa Guitar Army, is een southern rock band opgericht in 1972 door zanger/gitarist Hughie Thomasson. Oorspronkelijk omvatte de line-up ook nog zanger/gitarist Henry Paul, bassist Frank O'Keefe en drummer Monte Yoho. Al snel werden ook gitarist Billy Jones en drummer David Dix ingelijfd. Hun eerste album, dat simpelweg "The Outlaws" heette, bevatte ook meteen hun grootste klassieker "Green Grass and High Tides", een nummer dat in live-versies vaak meer dan 20 minuten duurt. Na een zachte gitaarintro vallen de twee drummers keihard in. Dit wordt verschillende keren herhaald. De bekende riff van het nummer start vervolgens en wordt een paar keer gespeeld, alvorens de eerste strofe volgt, gezongen door Hughie Thomasson, dan volgt het refrein. Een gitaarstuk volgt dat tot 6 minuten kan duren. Dit stuk is niet gebaseerd op de eerder gehoorde riff, het is veel langzamer. De tweede en laatste strofe volgt, en dan volgt het sluitstuk, een razendsnelle gitaarsolo (doorgaans met 3 gitaren tegelijk gespeeld) van 10 minuten waarin er duchtig op los gejamd wordt. In sommige versies komt ook een korte drumsolo voor. Door de jaren heen is de line-up ontelbare keren veranderd, tot op een gegeven moment Thomasson het enige overgebleven originele lid was (mede door de dood van Frank O'Keefe en Billy Jones, die beiden in 1995 overleden) en kort daarna dan ook stopte. Jaren later herenigde hij zich met zijn vroegere drummers en ging hij opnieuw touren. In 2007 speelden ze nog op het Nederlandse Arrow Rock Festival in Biddinghuizen, aangevuld met Chris Anderson (gitaar) en Randy Threet (bas). Helaas is ook Hughie Thomasson in 2007 overleden en is er van de huidige line up bijna niemand meer over. Positief is wel dat Henry Paul (ook een oorspronkelijke Outlaw, later overgestapt naar Blackhawk) met de laatste line up binnenkort weer in de states gaat touren. The Outlaws gaven 5 juni hun enige optreden in Nederland van hun tour, in De Bosuil, in Weert.
