Formed in Tampa Florida in the late sixties, Outlaws’ big signature sound became fully realized in the early 1970s and the band was the first signed to Arista Records by Clive Davis. The self-titled 1975 debut album from the "Florida guitar army" reached #13 on the Billboard album chart, and featured “There Goes Another Love Song” and their classic “Green Grass And High Tides.” Their re-make of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” from GHOST RIDERS was a Top 40 hit single. ANTHOLOGY features the infamous triple guitar assault of Hughie Thomasson (who went on to join Lynyrd Skynyrd), Henry Paul (Blackhawk), and Billy Jones, bridged a unique gap between country, rock, and even metal. Frank O’Keefe was on bass, and Monte Yoho on drums.
