<description><![CDATA[You might consider Johnny Cash the original gangster. He sang a song about killing a man "just to watch him die" long before young men began to wear big pants and cap their teeth in gold. His trademark baritone growl and disdainful sneer were the crown and scepter he bore as the king of outlaw country music. Cash's unique sound wasn't complex by any means. His Southern Gothic-tinged narratives and lighthearted country songs contained similar elements to Woody Guthrie's simple ditties. However, nobody but Cash could sing those songs with the burning, heartfelt fever that has made him one of the most influential people in country music. Originally, he wanted to make gospel music after finishing up a Korean War tour of duty in the U.S. Air Force. But after releasing his first single on Sun Records ("Cry Cry Cry" backed with "Hey Porter"), it was perfectly clear that he was a country singer. Cash's music has never strayed from what he knew best: rock 'n' roll's rebellion, folk's painfully autobiographical sensibility, and country music's lovelorn longing. The Man In Black passed away in Nashville, Tenn., on September 12, 2003, due to complications brought on by diabetes. He survived his beloved wife, June Carter Cash, by four months.

<description><![CDATA[Willie Nelson was one of the original outlaws of country music, and one of its most influential songwriters. He began playing in the 1960s, writing "Crazy" for Patsy Cline and "Hello Walls" for Faron Young. Nelson's career as a performer flourished in the mid-1970s when he joined up with Waylon Jennings and released the crossover, chart-topping <I>Red Headed Stranger</I>. It was the hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" that perpetuated the then-popular image of the longhaired country boy. Willie Nelson had arrived as a country superstar. His folky, nasal inflections carried his voice through many different genres of music, including Western Swing, traditional pop, jazz, Traditional Country, Cowboy country songs, Honky-Tonk, rock 'n' roll, folk music and of course, the blues. Nelson's success lasted until the late 1980s, when some trouble with the IRS landed him in a number of stuffed-crust pizza commercials and a cameo role in the film <i>Half Baked</i> smoking his beloved joints. When the day is done, Nelson can easily be considered a bona fide legend.

<description><![CDATA[With the help of a few other like-minded artists, Waylon Jennings birthed the Outlaw Country movement and paved the way for the country music boom of the '90s some 20 years before the fact. The first country artist to go platinum, he was responsible for making the music industry understand that country music's appeal stretches further than record executives realized. Jennings toiled in the trenches of the music industry for the better part of a decade before he hit with the smash "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line" in 1968. Jennings' real superstardom came after he started using his road band to record and produce his own records. This move stood the Nashville establishment on its head, paving the way for a lot of other idiosyncratic artists to break out of the established formula. Jennings was an immensely charismatic performer whose booming voice took full ownership of any song he sang, whether it was Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park," Steve Young's "Lonesome On'ry & Mean," or one of his own compositions. Nashville may have gone back to making cookie cutter records, but Waylon was still out there doing his own thing right up to his death on February 13, 2002.

<description><![CDATA[As his name makes clear, Hank Williams, Jr. is the son of country music legend (and Honky-Tonk deity) Hank Williams. Williams Jr. started off singing similar beer joint anthems before finding his own voice in the 1970s outlaw country realm. He can also be credited with taking the outlaw sound up a notch to deliver some gritty southern rock songs. Kid Rock cites Hank Williams Jr. as one of his most obvious influences, along with 2 Live Crew.

<description><![CDATA[Jamey Johnson grew up in a strict religious household, so it came as a surprise to his parents when he started playing music at an early age. By junior high, Johnson was adept at playing a variety of instruments and had music theory down pat. After an eight-year stint in the U.S. Marine Reserves, Johnson moved to Nashville to concentrate on music. Although he had a variety of day jobs, Johnson played music at night and eventually made contact with a circle of friends who got him "regular" work singing on their demos. Eventually Johnson signed to BNA and in early 2006 released his debut, <I>The Book</I>. With a hit single ("The Dollar") under his belt, Johnson hit the road -- and partied hard. Things started to unravel, first when his wife divorced him and then further when his record label dropped him. Lost and in shock, Johnson cut himself off from friends and family and became a recluse, writing smash hits for George Strait ("Give It Away") and Trace Adkins ("Honky Tonk Badonkadonk") to pass the time. In 2008, Johnson returned to the spotlight with the release of his sophomore effort, <I>That Lonesome Song</I>, a battered collection of songs dealing with loss, growing pains and regret.

<description><![CDATA[People have a hard time believing that the man who wrote "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" also played on such Bob Dylan albums as <i>Nashville Skyline</i>, <i>Self Portrait</i>, <i>New Morning</i>, and <i>Dylan</i>. Charlie Daniels was known as the long haired country boy with adroit musical skills that were a true gift from the gods of music. In his heyday, Daniels surrounded himself with an ever changing team of exquisitely talented musicians that contributed to his trademark sound: strict country music with an edgy injection of Southern Rock, blues shuffles and Boogie Rock overtones. Aside from making music that would soon pump from the speakers of Bo and Luke's General Lee, Daniels wrote songs that Elvis Presley covered; he played with Leonard Cohen's touring band in the 1960s, and even produced the Youngbloods' album <i>Elephant Memory</i>. Daniels managed to install a set of ethics for his fan-base-turned-subculture when he penned its anthem, "Long Haired Country Boy" with: "People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon / Cause I get stoned in the morning, get drunk in the afternoon. / Kinda like my old blue tick hound I like to lay around in the shade / I ain't got no money but I've damn sure got it made.../ I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke."

<description><![CDATA[Gretchen Wilson's story is not unlike <i>The Simpsons</i> episode where Homer befriends the aspiring country singer Lurlene Lumpkin. Like Lumpkin, Wilson grew up in a poor, rural part of the country. Born to a 16-year-old mother and to a father who left the home when she was only a toddler, Wilson grew up in Pocahontas, Ill., and moved nomadically from trailer park to trailer park. While only 14 and with just an eighth grade education, she worked as a bartender and a cook in the same tavern as her mom. Wilson began her career in her early 20s by singing in bar bands and soon she relocated to Nashville where she joined up with the Muzik Mafia songwriting club. Her debut single, "Redneck Woman," (which she co-wrote with John Rich of Big & Rich and Lonestar) set sales records on the <i>Billboard</i> charts, making her an overnight sensation. She has been credited with saving country music in a time when Nashville is leaning toward the pop production of Faith Hill and Shania Twain -- artists who sound like they're desperately trying to cross over into the Adult Contemporary market. In contrast, Wilson celebrates her redneck roots in her compositions (by name checking Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock, for example).

<description><![CDATA[David Allan Coe is one of country music's most outspoken renegades. He was a juvenile delinquent who had run-ins with the law before hitting his double digits and consequently, spent most of his twenties behind bars. Upon his release, Coe immediately pursued a country music career, releasing his first album, <I>Penitentiary Blues</I> in 1968, featuring songs mostly about living life in prison. These early recordings hinted at the Outlaw Country style in his songwriting, but when he nabbed a touring spot opening for the rock band Grand Funk Railroad, Coe cleverly garnered a cult following by outrageous onstage antics such as arriving on stage via his Harley Davidson while decked out in a flashy Nudie suit. The early 1970s found him writing a handful of hits for stars such as Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Johnny Paycheck who hit pay dirt with Coe's "Take This Job And Shove It." The success of these hits landed Coe a record deal with Columbia with whom recorded 26 albums, charting with moderate-to-good success, embracing the outlaw image in his songs and personal life, Coe was looked down upon by many of his more conservative contemporaries. Of course, releasing racist records on underground indie labels didn't do much to further his reputation, either.

<description><![CDATA[It's hard to know just which has been more influential: Kris Krisofferson's songwriting, or his persona. The songs speak for themselves -- "Sunday Morning Coming Down," "Help Me Make it Through the Night," "Me and Bobby McGee," to name a few. But a lot of people who recognize Kristofferson's grizzled visage don't even know he wrote those numbers, so there must be something else about the guy that resonates. He's the personification of an individualism America often pays lip service to, but rarely respects. A Nashville outsider in the early '70s with his beard, long hair, and left-leaning politics, his rebel stance never seemed like a callow pose. It instead came off as the product of careful deliberation and hard-earned wisdom -- after all, the guy was a Rhodes Scholar. His singing has always been a little too ragged to match the commercial success of those who covered his tunes, but his face and demeanor are perfect for the movies, where he continues to play reserved characters that seem to have deep wells of knowledge and experience.

<description><![CDATA[Like many of today's new country superstars, John Anderson strolled into Nashville with nothing more than a guitar and a pocket full of crumpled cash. He took some odd jobs (including roof work on the Grand Ole Opry) before releasing his first single for Warner Brothers in 1978. Anderson's sound predated the urban cowboy hype by a year or two, and he blended that popular roadhouse style with a new traditional/honky-tonk fusion in a way that kept him from being pigeonholed.

<description><![CDATA[Most people know Johnny Paycheck for his huge hit from the 1970s "Take This Job and Shove It" and a number of other Nashville Country hits like "Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets." Few people realize that that was merely act two in a life that has seen more ups and downs than a roller coaster. Paycheck started his career at the tail end of the Rockabilly era, recording some undistinguished sides under the name Donny Young. At the time, he had already been dishonorably discharged from the service after doing hard time in the stockade for beating a superior officer. A gifted multi-instrumentalist proficient on bass, steel guitar, and guitar, Paycheck then spent quite a bit of time in the road bands of folks like Faron Young, Ray Price, and George Jones. The very thought of the substance abusing championship team of Jones and Paycheck makes the idea of Aerosmith's Toxic Twins -- Steven Tyler and Joe Perry -- pale in comparison. In the mid-'60s he made a series of stunningly original albums for the independent Little Darlin' record label. The work is marked by Paycheck's beautiful singing, emotionally raw songwriting, and the diamond hard sound of his recording band, led by pedal steel wiz Lloyd Green. These records did not sell particularly well, and by the mid -'70s Paycheck was broke and on skid row. He returned from obscurity later on that decade, recording with top Nashville producer Billy Sherrill. That relationship yielded many terrific sides as well as the aforementioned "Take This Job and Shove It." Despite his success, Paycheck's problems with alcohol and cocaine found him in a downward spiral which culminated in an 1985 incident in an Ohio bar in which he shot a man, and was subsequently sent to prison. Paycheck got out of prison a changed man who has slowly, but surely reclaimed his dignity and started to receive the respect as a writer and singer that he deserves. The Country Music Foundation reissued his Little Darlin' recordings in a critically acclaimed package.

<description><![CDATA[Outlaw country pioneer Jerry Jeff Walker is probably most noted for his hit, "Mr. Bojangles." But it was his smooth voice, textured country songs and a reputation for heavy partying that gained him a large cult following. Although he hails from New York, Walker made Austin, Texas, his home in the 1970s, where he befriended the late, great Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and the Red Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson. Walker got his musical start with the New York City village folk-rock outfit, Circus Maximus. He recorded a couple of albums with them for the Vanguard label before the band split in 1968. Although the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had more success with Walker's "Mr. Bojangles" in 1971, he was able to enjoy the success of a gold record that he recorded in 1973 with country music loons, The Lost Gonzo Band. <i>Viva Terlingua</i> was his best selling album, capturing the almost suave and twangy swagger as well as the dusty laments that Walker was born to sing.

<description><![CDATA[Guy Clark has been sculpting songs out of pure pastoral soul and warm vocals since 1975. His songs are masterworks meticulously crafted with all the patience and detail of a boatmaker (check out the chiseled arrangement on "Boats to Build"). Clark was raised by his grandmother in the West Texas town of Monahans and began writing and singing many of his songs in Spanish. He later moved to Texas and befriended the late, great Townes Van Zandt, who influenced his bluesy, folk style of Americana and country music. Clark is the kind of songwriter that musicians and music lovers understand and admire, while radio programmers just seem to scratch their head and look for the next Billy Ray Cyrus hit to play. Friend Jerry Jeff Walker had a hit with Clark's "L.A. Freeway," a sort of anti-West Coast anthem that he is best known for. Other country artists to cover Clark's songs include George Strait, Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen, David Allen Coe, Vince Gill, and Ricky Skaggs (who had a number one hit with "Heartbroke").

<description><![CDATA[Billy Joe Shaver's Americana is a pastoral melting pot. His Outlaw Country stylings seem to come as naturally to him as breathing air, mostly on account of Shaver putting his fast living and ragged life stories into his songs. Waylon Jennings recorded <i>Honky Tonk Heroes</i> in 1973, which was an album containing mostly Shaver-penned songs about raising hell, loving and losing. Shaver's Country Rock songs inspired many twang enthusiasts in the 1970s who admired his ability to effortlessly segue between hard-edged, gritty tones and softer Country-Folk stylings. Although he never gained huge commercial success, songs such as "Good Christian Soldier" and "Ride Me Down Easy" reflect an earnest man with heartfelt lyrics and a warm, comforting voice that fits his songs like a worn-in, hand-me-down baseball mitt.

<description><![CDATA[Anyone who thinks that the outlaw country movement died with the Man in Black should be slapped across the mouth and poured a shot of whiskey. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shooter Jennings, son of the late, great Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. If you follow country music, you've probably read countless fictitious bios from Nashville newbies claiming that they were "raised on the road." Shooter is the real deal. While other kids played Hot Lava Monster on the grade school blacktop, Shooter was raised on American-made tour buses rolling across amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesties. Before he was five, the young outlaw was tinkering with the piano and drums. After picking up the guitar in his early teens, Shooter formed his first band under the Starrgunn moniker, playing rock 'n' roll around the greater Los Angeles area for almost seven years before disbanding and then assembling a twangier outfit by the name of the 357s. Picking up where his late father left off, Shooter and the 357s released <I>Put the "O" Back in Country</I> (get it?) in 2005 on Universal South Records. Unlike Hank III (grandson of Hank Williams), Shooter doesn't flirt with punk rock. His sound harkens back to the outlaw movement of the 1970s, but it comes off more as an evolution of the revolution rather than a nostalgic genre throwback. Plus his songs are so catchy and accessible, that he is one of a handful of artists who have been able to crossover from the Americana subculture into the greenback-paved realm of the New Country music charts.

<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the greatest supergroup in country music history, the Highwaymen consisted of Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and, the man in black himself, Johnny Cash. They released three albums (and one live album), had a handful of hits, and unofficially disbanded before Jennings died. Unlike many a supergroup, the Highwaymen didn't let each member take his turn in a round-robin style. Instead, they combined their unique approaches to form one visionary sound: cinematic outlaw country. Upon the Highwaymen's debut in 1985, rumors ran rampant that David Allan Coe had asked Jennings if he could join the group, only to have Jennings reply, "No, David Allan Coe. You can not."

<description><![CDATA[There's a photograph of Tony Joe White floating about the Internet. He's smoking while strolling through a bayou jungle bare-chested, a guitar slung over his shoulder and black leather pants suctioned to his legs. He looks a lot like Elvis during his '68 comeback special, only cooler. A child of Louisiana with Cherokee blood flowing through his veins, White helped invent swamp rock in the late '60s with hits like "Polk Salad Annie," a murky fusion of stripped-down RnB and Hendrix-inspired wah-wah. Meanwhile, he became an in-demand songwriter after Dusty Springfield turned "Willie and Laura Mae Jones" into an instant classic, and Brook Benton followed suit with "Rainy Night in Georgia." By the '70s, White had toned down the lusty funk and transformed himself into an articulate singer-songwriter, one who detailed the complications of romance as well as the hardships of the Southern working class. Over the years the media-shy Louisianan has settled into cult artist status, scoring several more hits on the country charts. But in the end there can be no doubt that Tony Joe White, nicknamed the Swamp Fox, is indeed one of the coolest dudes to ever to wear black leather pants.

<description><![CDATA[Onetime character on <i>Adam 12</i> and yet another member of the country music pantheon who's done time, Johnny Rodriguez flourished in the mid-'70s and well into the '80s playing traditionally-flavored cowboy country. With a nasal, barely-there rasp and lush, mid-tempo backing, he falls somewhere between the smooth Honky-Tonk of Lefty Frizzel and the homegrown Outlaw Country of Willie Nelson.

<description><![CDATA[This talented Rockabilly Revival/Country Rock outfit is almost as bad-ass as the black-clad man for whom they're named. With pure Americana heart and soul, the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash unleash their heavy, toe-tapping shuffle rhythms, adroit and stylish steel picking, and tone-showcasing guitar work that approximates a train chooglin' down the track full steam ahead. The soulful singer belts it out like he's been in prison for twenty years and busted out to taste his first bite of fried chicken in two decades.

<description><![CDATA[Newbury is one of those songwriters who helped change the sound of country music in the late '60s and early '70s -- along with his buddy Kris Kristofferson, Bobby Bare and Don Williams, among others. Newbury cut his musical teeth in Houston, Tex.'s fertile mid-'50s scene, where he developed a love for R&B, blues, and Soul music that's consistently given his writing an edge. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition brought Newbury's "Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Was In" to the top of the Pop charts, and other Newbury songs have been taken into the country charts by the likes of Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, and Eddy Arnold. The real puzzle is why Newbury never became a star himself. He never got any higher than #26 in the charts, which is odd considering the quality of his writing and the fact that his tenor voice is easily as good, if not better than that of the folks who've covered his songs.

<description><![CDATA[This isn't an actual country band, but an amalgamated one-off composed of stars including Tom Wopat and John Schnieder from the '70s and '80s television show <I>The Dukes Of Hazzard</I> (a now irrelevant sitcom/action series about various white people in a fictitious Southern town). The collected sound flirts with Southern Rock, but is more polished in production to sound like the Country Rock recordings of bands like Pure Prairie League, the Eagles, and Poco.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some people think that Cowboy Jack Clement is as crazy as a loon, but those people don't understand that we're all pink on the inside. Prior to Clement's work in country music production, he worked at Sun Studios with Sam Phillips, where he was able to cut his teeth (as well as some two inch tape) with "The Killer" himself, Jerry Lee Louis. Clement's singing is buttermilk smooth in texture, timbre and tone, which makes his Outlaw Country songs a little more eerie and interesting than the norm.
