American Southern rock band formed in Tampa, Florida in the early 1970s, noted for three-guitar harmonies and extended live jams such as "Green Grass And High Tides."

Formed in Tampa, Florida, the Outlaws became known in the 1970s for a lineup featuring three guitarists who shared singing and composing duties. Key members mentioned in DeBaser reviews include Hughie Thomasson (leader/soloist), Billy Jones, Henry Paul and bassist Frank O'Keefe. Billy Jones and Frank O'Keefe died in 1995 (Jones by suicide, O'Keefe from an overdose). Hughie Thomasson died in 2007. The band's best-regarded period in reviews is the mid-to-late 1970s, and they have a notable live reputation.

DeBaser's coverage of the Outlaws highlights their peak 1970s work, three-guitar attack and enduring live reputation. Reviews mix affection for early classics with criticism of weaker 80s experiments. The band's best-known moments remain their debut era and extended live jams.

For:Fans of 1970s Southern rock, classic rock listeners, guitar-virtuoso enthusiasts and nostalgia concertgoers.

 Among the best Southern Rock groups, among the many that thrived in the United States during the seventies and of which only faint reflections reached Italy, were these Outlaws from Tampa, Florida.

 In 2020, this "Dixie Highway" is released, the eleventh in the series and... excellent!

 The absolute peak of the album in terms of emotion is precisely the passage in "Night Wines" between Thomasson’s agile and sharp solo Stratocaster and Jones’s "big" and saturated, heavily distorted Les Paul: an exchange of solos among the most successful in rock history, as far as I’m concerned.
