The Outlaws are one of my favorite bands of all time. Formed in Tampa, Florida in 1967, these guys combine the sounds of the Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, and Lynyrd Skynyrd into an all-out guitar assault on your ears. I swear the state of Florida is the jumping off point for so many great Southern bands. They have a dual lead guitar approach (like the above mentioned acts) and you can hear this on their biggest hits, "There Goes Another Love Song" and "Green Grass and High Tides." You will hear the former on the radio from time to time, but "Green Grass" is too long for most stations (except 104.9 The Rebel in Rome, Georgia!). Their self titled album from 1975 is a wonderful album that any Southern rock connossieur would enjoy, as it contains the aforementioned hits and this song......from the A side of the vinyl record, I bring you "Song For You." Listen for the guitar riffs....eerily similar to Skynyrd. I love it.
