Willie NelsonOutlaw country was a significant trend in country music during the late 1960s and the 1970s (and even into the 1980s in some cases), commonly referred to as The Outlaw Movement (both by fans and by people in the music industry) or simply Outlaw music.[1] The focus of the movement has been on self-declared "outlaws", such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams Jr., and Billy Joe Shaver. The reason for the movement has been attributed to a reaction to the Nashville sound, developed by record producers like Chet Atkins who softened the raw honky tonk sound that was predominant in the music of performers like Jimmie Rodgers, and his successors such as Hank Williams, George Jones and Lefty Frizzell. According to Aaron Fox (2004, p. 51) "the fundamental opposition between law-and-order authoritarianism and the image of outlaw authenticity... has structured countrys discourse of masculinity since the days of Jimmie Rodgers."

Outlaw Country was one of the more significant trends in country music in the 70s. During that decade, many of the most popular hardcore country singers of the 60s — from George Jones to Merle Haggard — softened their sound slightly, moving away from their honky tonk roots. While the outlaws werent strictly honky tonk — they were as much storytellers in the tradition of folk songwriters as they were honky tonk vocalists — they kept that spirit alive. Outlaws didnt play by Nashvilles rules. They didnt change their music to fit the heavily produced, pop-oriented Nashville sound, nor did they go out of their way to fit into the accepted conventions of country music. Instead, they created an edgy form of hardcore country that was influenced by rock & roll, folk, and blues. Ironically, two of the leading figures of the movement — Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson — had their roots in the music industry, but by the time they came into their own as recording artists in the mid-70s, they had developed a unique, defiant way of performing. Several other musicians — including David Allan Coe, Billy Joe Shaver, and Tompall Glaser — followed in their footsteps, and the outlaws were quite popular for a period of three to four years. At the end of the 70s, the urban cowboy movement easily eclipsed the outlaw movement in terms of commercial appeal, but the outlaws had a lasting influence. During the 80s, certain neo-traditionalists owed a bit of their sound to the outlaws, while a whole breed of songwriters, led by Steve Earle, demonstrated a massive debt to the outlaws and their fusion of country, folk, and rock.

Дима, а с каких рекоммендуешь начать? С Нельсоном я понятное дело буду брать не глядя (я планирую собрать всего Вилли), а чисто сольные?
