Wow, six-string sinner! Worth writing and producing a song, just to get that line in there. I'd copyright that song if I were you. There's a few lines in this that I particularly like and that is one of them. Thanks for listening.

Spectacular. Fabulous. Loved every second of this, from every perspective. If the radio did play this kinda song any longer, it should DEFINITELY be on it. It's that good. Bravo. I appreciate that. Unfortunately... they like that polished up shiney stuff these days

Ha! Perfect song, Herb! Definitely fun for the listener, and sound like you were having a ton o' fun, too. Super vocals, guitar and piano. That BiaB bass sets a nice beat. Nice!! Yes indeed. This was a fun song from the initial writing to the final mix.....

Hi, Herb.
Really good! Toe-tapping and well written classic country.
Nice guitar work as well! Thanks Dave. I really had fun with the guitar parts on this.

When you said outlaw music I thought you meant music by long haired hippie freaks pretending to be country. Maybe some old dude with long hair and ponytails and a red bandana smoking a joint who couldn't even afford to buy a real guitar without a hole in the front of it.
Or something like that.
But I had no idea you meant music that literally was outlawed, like no one should ever play this, or this music had been banned, and should never be played on the Internet or the radio or anywhere else.
Man that one caught me by surprise.
Naw just kidding man.
This really sounds like Willie and Waylon and the vocals are actually pretty good!
You always sound real happy when you're doing songs like this!!
😄😄
You're probably dreaming of the good old days when you were standing behind that chicken wire. The funny thing was I only played a place one time that had chicken wire. I guess we just played mostly for a higher class of rednecks. Stab somebody at the door, ride a motorcycle into the club, oh heck yeah, but throwing a beer bottle at the band? Wait a minute..... we used to play on a military base where they determined how good the band was by the number of 55 gallon trash cans full of beer cans were picked up off the floor in front of the stage...... We were a solid 4+ barrel band which was really good. most bands only got one to one or two barrels I always like catching you by surprise. Glad you liked it. We need to get together and throw something on a grill and crack open a cold one.....

Ain't no dust on a jukebox with this one on it. Perfect, Herb. Love the lyrics, and the vocals. Great playing too, and I like you choice of bandmates. I'd outlaw is the only law in the country. Well said, well played, well sang, well dang, that's a good one, Heb. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it

Lyrics with "They don't ... anymore" are a sure sign of the 'get off my lawn'’ generation  That being said, it's a really good song, that's the cool stuff we we Europeans associate you US guys with. Toe-tapping goodness. Enjoyed my listen. A lot ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks for listening. Yep. America has a few things that are unique in the world and rednecks are at the top of the list. Outlaw music is there too. The two go together like cold beer on a hot bonfire night.

Herb, this is brilliant listening. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this song. Your writing, arranging and performing are superb. The overall sound is polished and shines brightly. Honestly, this sounded like something I'd hear on the radio. Your experience and expertise stand tall in every aspect of this presentation.
