Various Artists - The Very Best of Outlaw Country

The Very Best of Outlaw Country is a collection that gathers together the roots and branches of one of the most enduring genres in country music history.

The Nashville Underground movement united an influential portion of country music's alienated minority of singers, songwriters, and producers in the early 1970s - and didn't let go.

By 1975, when Willie Nelson released his groundbreaking debut album on Columbia Records, Red Headed Stranger, the movement was no longer underground and had a bold new name: Outlaw Country.

With Willie Nelson as the Godfather, aided and abetted by a mob of Nashville rebels that included Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels, David Allan Coe, Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Paycheck and others, the movement gained the traction it needed to upset the establishment.
