The Outlaws. Lady in Waiting. The inner gatefold. This band is one of the great southern rock groups. Lady in Waiting is the 2nd studio album the Outlaws, released in 1976. The last cut on side two is called "Stick Around for Rock and Roll" (Thomasson), at 6:35, it's great! I saw Hughie Thomasson play a few years ago while he was briefly a member of Lynyrd Skynrd, outside at Ribfest in Naperville. And I swear, I just found this out - Hughie passed away in 2007. I am over 50 now and too many of these guys are not around any more. Can we press the pause button? The Outlaws do one of my favorite songs of all time, called There Goes Another Love Song. That song (the first track from their first record - which of course I own) is in a very bright key, has soothing almost lilting vocals, a couple of sweet guitar breaks, an extremely catchy melody, and is easy to sing along with. It seems incongruous coming from a hard-charging southern rock band. Here is the front cover:
RIP Hughie...
