Six String Hayride Classic Country Podcast Episode 43, The 70's Part TWO 1975-1979. A discussion of Outlaw Music and the late 1970's with Chris and Jim. For years, Artists have been wanting more creative control over their music and recording contracts. Waylon and Willie beat the system to finally earn a fair deal and make their finest albums. The Music Business calls this "Outlaw". Audiences notice the "Countrypolitan Sound" has gotten way too soft and pretty and start looking to music that gets back to its roots of Three Chords and the Truth. Waylon and Willie lead the way with Jessi Colter, Guy Clark, and Townes Van Zandt. Loretta Lynn, Freddy Fender, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt, Emmy Lou Harris, and Tom T Hall deliver the hits we love. George and Tammy break up and then make their finest single. Glen Campbell and Charlie Rich go Pop. We're going to the movies for JAWS, Monty Python, Smokey and the Bandit, and Star Wars. We reflect on the loss of Bob Wills, Groucho Marx, ELVIS, Sara and Maybelle Carter. Recipe for Elvis Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich and a drink from the John Wayne Cocktail Guide.
