Willie G. Moseley Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 ...will always be compared to "Freebird" of course, although it's sorta apples-and-oranges since "Freebird' has unison guitar passages while it's "take turns" on "Green Grass and High Tides". I actually liked it better than "Freebird" when I first heard it in '75. That squealing, edge-of-the-pick Strat lick at the end was unforgettable. And "Hittin' the Road" is a great concert club live album, with a great version of "GG & HT". Thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I got all the Outlaws' autographs on a tour shirt after seeing them around that time. Hughie Thomasson was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugby1970 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Great song, great band. Saw them a couple of times in Jersey when they were in their heyday. (or should that be hayday?) I also saw them 5 or six years ago at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ with a reconstituted lineup. They were good but not what they used to be.

GASguy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I saw the Outlaws in the old Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1977, Sea Level open for them. Lots of great live music back in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Freddie Salem. In the video that started the thread the players are Hughie Thomasson, Billy Jones, and Freddie Salem on guitar. Rick Cua on bass. David Dix was on drums.

Willie G. Moseley Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Another Southern music Alembic Stratoblaster reference: J.R. Cobb of the Atlanta Rhythm Section was a huge of fan of what he considered to be the definitive the "Strat sound" that Ed King got when Skynyrd recorded at Studio One in Doraville. Cobb was already oriented towards Strats because Barry Bailey played a Les Paul, but Cobb would often use a Les Paul Custom in concert. He also relied on a sunburst Strat modded with a Stratoblaster and a black middle pickup. It was seen and heard in the ARS's appearance on Midnight Special back then: and here 'tis w/ its owner, present-day: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 When I got Hughie's autograph I asked about the switch on his Strat and he enthusiastically told me it was a Stratoblaster that he put in himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
