Hailing from Tampa, Florida, and wielding as many as three lead guitarists at a time, the Outlaws are perhaps one of the least likely bands to be deemed worthy of a major-label retrospective CD. Though supremely competent, the band is completely indistinguishable in both style and substance from earlier and better known acts of southern rock's golden age: Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Green Grass & High Tides culls 16 tracks from the five studio albums the Outlaws recorded between 1975 and 1980, including their two minor hits, "There Goes Another Love Song" and "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky." Recommended for southern-rock diehards only.

Underrated Southern Rockers -- worth a listen.......2007-05-14
For those of you who aren't old enough to remember, the Outlaws were arguably more popular than Lynyrd Skynrd in the heydey of southern rock (1975 - 1980). Skynyrd's unfortunate demise led to them being canonized, though they certainly had several wonderful songs to justify it.
The Outlaws' first 3 Albums (Self-titled, Lady In Waiting, Hurry Sundown) were amazing LP's and this "Best of" CD captures most of their high notes. Its missing a few great tunes (Holiday from Hurry Sundown immediately comes to mind) but overall is a good survey of their music.
The quality of their music tailed off quickly after Hurry Sundown -- partially due to Henry Paul leaving, but probably due to burnout on several levels. Billy Jones was an amazing guitarist with a unique voice, on par with Neil Young. Its too bad he wasn't with us longer.
These guys were the 'metal band' of the Southern Rock area, so if you enjoy loud guitars and Skynrd-esque music, this CD is for you.
heaven.......2007-02-28
This CD brings back such great memories,..I am almost in a different world when I hear "Green Grass & High Tides". This is some great stuff,..if you are into this kind of southern rock,..you'll love this. I have almost every Outlaws LP record,..but I can't play records in my car,.so I had to get this CD. Not disappointed.

This CD is loaded with lots of Outlaw favorites. I happen to be one who has always found "Waterhole" and "Knoxville Girl" relatively unappreciated on the grand scale of Outlaw songs, and their presnce on this CD is a must. The same can be said about Outlaw anthems "Green Grass and High Tides; There Goes Another Love Song" and "Freeborn Man." But this collection has gone further in years to dig up other favorites. I was delighted to see "Take It Any Way You Want It; You Are The Show" and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" represented. But perhaps a more up to date collection is in order. Granted, the band see-sawed line-up wise in it's latter years, as did the subsequent music they produced. But "Hurry Sundown" alone is worthy of more representation on this CD. The late 70s saw the remaining bands of both southern rock and the California sound (Eagles/ Poco, etc.) hit their zenith in production and music produced. It's no coincidence to some degree, as "Hurry Sundown's" producer did the same for the Eagle's "Hotel California" resulting in more refined, streamlined music that had crossover appeal. And "Hurry Sundown's" "Holiday; So Afraid" and "Heavenly Blue" each are worthy of being present on a conmprehensive Outlaws collection, as are cuts from future CDs like "Los Hombres Malo" and "In The Eye of the Storm," though they may be fewer in number. But, this is a best of CD. And to accomplish what I feel is necessary, an anthology is in order. The Outlaws may not have ranked up there with the Allmans, the Skynards or the Tuckers in mass appeal. But they did have quite a run for what many consider a not as consequential southern rock band. And their life span is certainly worthy of an anthology to be a more truly comprehensive look at a band that left its mark.
Southern Rock you wouldn't understand, Dr. Bombay !!.......2006-12-27
No New American from India should ever be allowed to review Southern Rock or any Rock CD...I saw the Outlaws and ZZ Top in Roanoke,VA in 1977 and they brought the house down with every song and actually commanded the same applause as that lil' ole band from Texas did later that night !! and outside of a few songs in five albums wrote all of their own material...The Outlaws were truly electric in more ways than one and the new digitally remastered songs sound better than ever !! only real radio stations play the deep cuts and " Ghost Riders in the Sky " fits the bill for high fidelity sound !! Yep , it's a Southern Rock thing , Dr. Bombay ,you wouldn't understand !!!
Good memories.......2006-12-06
I saw the Outlaws live twice in the early eighties and had a great time at both shows. This album is just plain fun to listen to and brings back some very fond memories.
