Description
The Outlaws are a Southern rock/country rock band best known for their 1975 hit "There Goes Another Love Song" and extended guitar jam "Green Grass And High Tides" from their 1975 debut album, plus their 1980 cover of the Stan Jones classic "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky. The band was formed in Tampa, Florida in late 1964 by Frank Guidry and was the first act signed to Arista Records under Clive Davis. Davis was in the audience at a show in 1974 where the band was opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Columbus, Georgia. While The Outlaws are generally considered to be a part of the Southern rock genre, there are distinct differences in their approach and their influences. Their primary similarity to other Southern rock bands is the dual lead guitar interplay, a defining characteristic of many Southern rock bands. However, The Outlaws' mix of country and rock elements displays the vocal harmony influences of groups like Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, The Eagles, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, and Poco. Their use of three and four part harmonies set them apart from their contemporaries who usually relied on a single lead vocalist. Los Hombres Malo was their seventh studio album and was released in 1982, preceded by In The Eye Of The Storm in 1979.

AGH!

Been waiting forever for these, but I despise two fers and know zero about this label.

Buddah and Rock Candy have done a great job with all the other albums.

What is this label's rep?

Pete, I would say that the label is comparable to BGO. I've found their remasters to usually be good, but not "amazing".

On a positive note it has to be better than the Majik CD of "Los Hombres". It is one of the worst CD's I have ever heard.

If Retroworld is the same label (and I believe it is) there are negative reviews regarding the Playin to Win/Ghost Riders two-fer (Lacking bass and harsh top end). The Rock Candy Playin' to Win is supposedly an improvement, too bad they are not tackling any other Outlaw's albums on CD.
