The song is one of the few songs you close your eyes, tip your head relax and let everything go just dream and air guitar away

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

Done it hundreds of times. As I am 70 years old not so much the air guitar anymore. Ha!

This is THE OUTLAWS' 'FREEBIRD', such a great song from a great band

[@cameltanker1286]

You found the Florida Guitar Army. Southern Rock at its finest. There is a lot more where this came from.

[@Tropical_hillbilly]

This is a southern rock anthem totally badass

[@jonathansmith3742]

Southern Rock is a great genre. This is one the anthems of that genre. One of the baddest jams in the land!

[@brianterrill9587]

GG&HT, a few paragraphs of lyrics interspersed with 10 minutes of incredible guitar solos that keep building on each other.

[@BobbyjoeTrueTennessee-pm8zj]

CLASSIC this is a perfect example of southern rock I was raised in a great generation

[@Rick-or2kq]

I saw the guys live mid '70's. This came out in '75', free bird came out in '73'. What a great time for music late 60's into the 70's.

[@Sparky-xe9hu]

These guys are musicians. The time shifts in the tune are amazing! Only underrated b/c they can't understand each instrument is playing on a different time signature. Once you understand that you can blend anything in.

[@doughoiby8195]

Yes red. The outlaws are '70s and '80s for sure if you think of Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Kansas... All back from when I was a kid... Lol

[@Todd-r6q]

Great reaction.you nailed it..there are live versions.all are amazing.but you have to find the ones that have hughie thommasson..the leader of the band...he passed away in 2007... he's the one that made green grass possible.one hell of a guitar player..I miss him....❤

[@smb60usa]

Check out the live version from 11/10/1978 at Capitol Theatre. About 25 minutes long and they just go off. You can really get a good feel for the band and you get a great view of the “Guitar Army” up close and personal.

[@ChrisRoberts-jt4iy]

Cry No More is my personal favorite on this album, the guitar work will amaze you throughout. I think. I love watching your reactions by the way

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

The guitar break by Hughie is just phenomenal. It still amazes me to this day. I believe Hughie used a lot of bluegrass scales and techniques in his playing which distinguished him as a guitarist. When you hear him play, you know its Thomasson.

[@jackndew2]

To react to the best live version of this song, you will need to listen to the cut from their album 'Bring it back alive' (released 1978) which is just over 20 minutes. As a 68 y/o retired musician and a southern rock aficionado, I can assure you will see all the blazing guitar work and action from no less than TWO drummers in this classic southern rock anthem. There will be a lot going on so give yourself enough time to take it all in.

[@georgepaust8416]

I've got one for you that will blow your freaking mind. A jazz group called Focus decided to try to perform a rock song. There are lots of vocals but no lyrics. The drums and lead guitar are awesome! It contains elements of yodeling and whistling and this song topped the charts in the early seventies. Try it, you'll like it!

[@pyroman6000]

The song is called "Hocus Pocus". Love watching reactions to the live TV version- just to see the look on their faces, as the singer just ups the ante again and again. Great song!

[@AudioVile]

Wow, Red! You're bringing back some long-term memories!! I'd been in the Navy for about a year when this came out. It was EVERYWHERE on the radio!

[@redheadedneighbor]

Cool!!!

[@rj-me3fh]

[@70elcamino.]

Not about the words about the guitars

[@jayterry7291]

As a band, I believe they only had two studio albums, and at least one concert. They had some internal problems, and they finally disbanded, but about 3 to 4 years. 78 I believe when that came out. I was 21 years old and couldn’t get enough of it. 😎

[@velvanae]

Jerry Reed and Glenn Campbell were both very respected in the guitar world and I would not doubt if they were inspired at least by Jerry Reed. Even Glenn Campbell used a riff that Jerry Reed wrote and gave him. I also think I heard some Terry Kath style in there.

[@WilliamBrown-mm1in]

The Outlaws formed in the mid 70's in Tampa, Fl and continue to play today with original member Henry Paul. Most of the members from the early years have passed away including Hughie Tomlinson, Billy Jones, Freddy Salem, Harvey Dalton Arnold. Drummer Monte Yoho has pretty much retired from playing.

[@wesalker3479]

Next up . . . . . "Flirtin' with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet. YOU'RE WELCOME !

[@rickward460]

Nicely played Red 👍👍 I've been trying to find a place to ask you to dive into the band Little Feat. If you like A list musicians and Southern Rock/Blues/Jazz/Funk... the album Waiting for Columbus from them is a must 🙏 Start with "Fat man in the bathtub" and run with it!! Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@Clrwatrtom]

This was the Tampa Florida Guitar Army's debut record. Get yourself a great education on Southern Rock's premier band and give this entire record a listen. You won't be sorry.

[@greggkotzman2542]

JHC woman, let's hear at least 5 seconds of the song before you pause. I'm glad you reacted to the short version of the song, or we'd still be here next month.

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

This song and Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird have the best guitar solos ever. Southern rock at its best. Just turn up the volume and drift away. I am 70 years old and heard both these so gs when they first came out. They blew me away then and I still get goosebumps today. ❤❤❤❤❤it.

[@ChrisRoberts-jt4iy]

The rest of the music on that album is a must listen . This was their first and I believe their best

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

I feel like their first two albums are the best. I hope you have heard the album Hughie released as a solo effort of sorts. I think it came out in 2007. You have to hunt for it as there was a lot of legal issues with it. "Once An Outlaw" is the title. It sounds like it could be stuff off their first two albums. Its really quite amazing. It just shows that Hughie was the core, heart of the band.

[@velvanae]

You probably heard "There Goes Another Love Song" or their version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky" They have an album a year from '75 to '80, skipped 81, 2 in 82 then became more sporadic. Their two most recent albums were in 2012 and 2016 and they are still on tour. Jan 25th they will be in New Brunswick NJ WITH the Marshall Tucker band...May have to go see that one! speaking of the Marshall Tucker Band I am making a request for "Fire on the Mountain" I think you'd enjoy that one. EDIT: I am not allowed to listen to a few songs while driving my truck... this is one of them, the wife's rule, not mine!

[@MDSlatanica]

More of a hard rocker but these guys were pretty damn good. 38 Special and Molly Hatchet were two more good southern rock bands.

I liked this band and before you said it I was thinking Skinner also or even Alabama’s band would sound similar! To me if I hadn’t seen them live and couldn’t see the video of it all it was a lot! But they were talented! Mix wasn’t very good, I couldn’t hear the vocals very well! Good song though and great reaction Red! Low bass Kenneth

[@tomhansen4576]

The Outlaws were a 1970's southern rock band from Tampa, Fl. Their debut album by the same name was in 1975 which this song was on. They actually opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd a time or two, and although their dueling guitars influences were similar to LS, their approach was more similar to the Eagles and Poco emphasizing vocal harmonies among the band members, whereas LS relied on a single lead singer. They are still performing with one original member and their latest album was released in 2020.

[@stephenkittle6586]

[@redheadedneighbor]

[@mattmid7012]

I would imagine they are great live, I don't know if there is a live version on here or not. I should have looked! It was recorded in 1975 apparently. The drums were so much more free back in those recording days, a lot now are robotic aren't they, or indeed drum machines, so much better when it feels 'live'. A lot of bands did record live back then too, no idea if they did but it does sound like it. I chanced on this on a station here called Planet Rock when driving and the song kept going and going and I kept bouncing. lol The DJ was Alice Cooper as well so he was obviously a fan. I was just lucky that I have a digital radio and so got the name of the band otherwise I'd have never known who it was by.

[@redheadedneighbor]

This was a fun suggestion! Thank you!

There is a 20 minute version of this taken from their Bring it back alive double album, that you really should listen to. I think you will greatly enjoy it. While I wouldn't mind a reaction, I don't need a separate video. But I think you will find the live version to be a very aurally tasty treat.

[@DavidPurvis-l9p]

The Outlaws from Tampa are my favorite of all time. And they are certainly the most underrated band of all time. Original guitarist vocalist Hughie Thomasson commented once they wanted to sing like the Eagles and play like the Outlaws. They certainly accomplished that with their three and four part harmonies being a mainstay of their sound. And Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones were no doubt guitar Masters. Original singer / rythym guitarist Henry Paul (Henry Paul Band and Blackhawk) reformed the band in 2008 after the death of Hughie Thomasson in 2006. With both old and new members, Henry did a hell of a job reforming the band and their later stuff certainly compliments the early stuff. Their third album Hurry Sundown, the last album before Henry Paul left the first time, is a masterpiece. Check it out along with the rest of their discography. Long live southern rock and the Outlaws!

[@DavidPurvis-l9p]

Addendum: What gets me is the fact that nowhere will you find Huey Thomasson or Billy Jones, or any member of the Outlaws on any top 100 list of great guitarist, or even a list of top 100 bands. What a travesty. Names like Chris Anderson, Billy Crain, Steve Grisham, Dale Oliver, and Freddie Salem should all be in at least the top 50 or better. Not to mention they're great drummers and bassists. From the playing and singing, to the writing and production/engineering, the Outlaws were/are a phenomenal, top notch rock n roll band. They have to be the most underrated band in history. Too bad the mainstream never saw it. I will never get it. God bless them all.

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

I do believe Hendrix would jump from His Grave and Jammed to Country Rock with this Band. I saw the Title and flashed back to the Stone's High Tides and Green Grass 1964 and the Guitar Snapped Me back to this World. I was 7 and asked My Older Brother Why the Stones Faces looked so Weird. He says LSD and it makes Your Face White and Your Pupils the Size of Saucers. I focused on that Picture through the rest of the 60's seeing the Face in Public all Over the Place. Every Body in Town was a Draft Dodger from the USA and Our Town got thousands of Them Sleeping Down Town with Me Checking them all Out. Met a lot of nice People not wanting to kill anybody and that's Cool by this Kid. Flower Power Red
