The Icons of Outlaw Country #100

For our 100th episode, we’re celebrating the untamed spirit of Outlaw Country with a lineup of iconic artists and songs that embody the genre’s rebellious soul. From Kris Kristofferson’s gritty "Border Lord" (1972) and Johnny Cash’s clever "One Piece at a Time" (1976) to Hank Williams Jr.’s defiant "I Got Rights" (1979), we’ll explore the legends who carved their own path outside the Nashville mainstream.

The show will feature classics like The Byrds’ "You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere" (1968) and The Flying Burrito Brothers’ "Do You Know How It Feels" (1969), alongside mavericks like Joe Ely with his live "Me and Billy the Kid" (1990) and Rusty Weir’s bold "I Heard You Been Layin’ My Old Lady" (1975). We’ll also spotlight unique voices like Doug Sham’s "Texas Me" (2000), Tompall Glaser’s "My Life Would be a Damn Good Country Song" (1992), and Commander Cody’s rollicking "Hot Rod Lincoln" (1972), proving that Outlaw Country’s legacy thrives across decades, blending raw storytelling, irreverent humor, and a fierce independent streak.
