This first-rate history of country music’s “outlaw musicians” informs as well as entertains. Narrator John Pruden provides an enthusiastic delivery and a touch of drama. Peppered with stories of the many players of the '60s and '70s country music scene, the audiobook focuses on “outlaws” Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. It’s an easy listen filled with anecdotes and vignettes about these legends, their rejection of the Nashville establishment, and their future successes. Whether listeners are country music fans or novices, Pruden’s ability to portray the main players in the outlaw movement will keep listeners tuned in to hear how country singers went rogue and country music went global.
