Comment:

The creative explosion sparked by the early-’70s outlaws still resonates with artists today. But it also has a backwards effect, shedding light on dudes like Townes Van Zandt, who had been playing by their own rules all along but gained new fans whose minds had been opened by the success of Waylon, Willie, and anyone else who found inspiration where blues, folk, country, and rock collided. And don’t forget — despite the spit ’n’ sawdust core of the movement, not all country outlaws were men; Jessi Colter, here singing a rocked-up “Fireflies In the Storm” with Tony Joe White, was married to Jennings but earned her outlaw credentials on her own merits, while Sammi Smith told it how it was, no punches pulled, on tough tracks like “Birmingham Mistake.”
