This one was tough. But while searching for ideas I saw that there was a melodic power metal band from Japan that used this as a name in the late 80s. So I thought I'd go with some melodic black metal from Japan. One of the best albums ever made, a genuine masterpiece that transcends genre. There's never a bad reason to spin this one and their new album drops on Friday!

I'll go with an offshoot...
Waylon's HTH was produced by fellow outlaw country artist Tompall Glaser. Tompall, along with Willie, Waylon and Jessi Colter released this record...
Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson/Jessi Colter/Tompall Glaser - Wanted! The Outlaws
Also a good time to plug the Mike Judge series 'Tales From the Tour Bus'. Such fun. Highly recommended. Here's a snippet from the Waylon episode...

Townes Van Zandt - Live At The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas
A joke credited to Jerry Jeff Walker as told by TVZ:
A drunk stumbling down the street walks up to this cop and says, “Man, somebody stole my car.”
Cop says, “Well, where was it last?”
Man says, “Right here on the end of this key.”
Cop says,“I dunno man. Why don’t you head to the precinct house and report it there. They’ll get you filled out with all the right forms and papers.”
Guy says, “Okay,” starts to walk off.
Then the cop says, “Before you go downtown you’re gonna want to zip up your fly.”
Guy looks down and goes, “Oh man, they got my girl, too!”
I love Townes.

Nice! I think it’s quickly become one of my favorite live albums.

23. The Sky is Crying
The Sky is Crying is a great blues standard of lost love leaving you, and Death Letter was Son House's great blues song of loss from death. Is there music that touches the exposed nerves of our souls better than the blues? There are some incredibly talented blues players, but it's the songwriters and singers whose cracking voices bring the pain and speak to me. This one was a great prompt and I'm glad to play this recent pickup and I spun a couple extra blues albums this morning to set the mood on this rainy day.

24. American Girl
In my early teen years I apprenticed in a kitchen under a couple classically trained French chefs who would make us go whole weeks of only playing Petty and Etheridge on the little CD player we had back there. I was already a Petty fan, but I don't expect a lot of teenage boys were drawn to Etheridge. I'm glad for the exposure though because I came to love her music too. This one is a great set of lost songs refound and redone. It's a great folky rock album you can get for cheap.

not quite the outlaw sound I was after but the cover certainly fits the bill
