What our fans loved then they still love now, because we are just as good or even better than we were. Most of all, they recognize the heart of what it is we still do. I felt compelled to stick my neck out and take a chance of putting this band back together. I knew we would be judged, but I hoped we would be judged on our abilities. And so it was again when I saw The Outlaws play recently.
Fans are coming away from shows feeling a part of the Outlaws experience. It summons up a lot of images of people who are no longer with us, of times we shared standing tall together for the first time. Right now, The Outlaws are headed back on the road, back on the radio and back into the hearts of fans nationwide.
Labels asked us, we just refused to do it. I would rather mourn privately over somebody than make money and take advantage of their loss. The presence of utility man Jerry Eubanks, who besides playing the saxophone also contributed swooping, summery flute solos that reminded the listener of a summer skylark, was another element that set the MTB further afield.
With nothing to put on the posters for a gig with Wet Willie, someone suggested borrowing the name of a guy whose name adorned the keyring of the warehouse where the band rehearsed. Inspiring an approach from Phil Walden, the boss of Capricorn Records, the support slot with Wet Willie was more important than anyone knew. On stage, MTB quickly built up a head of steam. Before anything else happened one of the security guards came over and three the three of us — Ronnie, my date and I — all got thrown out of the club.
Luckily, it saved me from fighting Ronnie Van Zant, but the experience did get me a new wife.
