 The Shady Creek Outlaws Nov 01, 2005
By Maggie
"Maggie"
I am by no means a music critic, only a fan of this band. They played at our Murphy Walmart and sold 123 CD's from their new album. So, as a fan of Shady Creek Outlaws I have to disagree about how weak their music is on this album. They played for over 300 people that day and played mostly off of the Waylon Grass and we were very impressed with this local band and very proud of them. If I recall correctly Waylon, himself was ridiculed with his first endeavor with music. So buy the cd and make up your own mind. We know what everbody says about opinions.Thank you Shady Creek Outlaws it's a very enjoyable toe tapping or should I say toe stomping experience. Keep up the great work.

 Nice curio folks who'd like to hear Waylon's music done in a bluegrass style Oct 24, 2005
By J. Ross
"a-music_fan"
Playing Time - 37:51 -- Waylon Jennings once said something to the effect that "I ain't no cowboy. I'm a country boy. I'm a hillbilly. My music ain't no Nashville sound. It's my kind of country. It's not western. It's Waylon." That, in a nutshell, might be why bluegrass renditions of his songs work well. What other genre can so delightfully tap Waylon's classic country spirit and hillbilly charm so tactfully and respectfully? Of course, we can't help but compare these bluegrass renditions to the original arrangements. Despite their promotion as "bluegrass with attitude," the North Carolina-based Shady Creek Outlaws are a little weak in the mandolin and fiddle departments which don't allow them to achieve the greatest potential from this idea. The banjo's equalization and body are also rather thin on this project.
The Shady Creek Outlaws include J.D Prince (mandolin), Alan Chastain (guitar), Ronnie Chastain (banjo), Randy Bryant (fiddle), Dale Roberts (bass) and Wayne Bridge (guitar, dobro). What the band lacks in some instrumental prowess, they make up for in spirited vocals handled by J.D., Ronnie and Alan. The Chastain brothers were the core impetus for the band's formation. Ronnie started performing at age 17, but it wouldn't be until he turned 45 that he and his brothers, Alan and Odell, formed "Shady Creek." They put out a CD, played small local venues, and also booked some festivals in Tennessee. It was at the 2003 Cherokee Jamboree's Battle of the Bands that they met Jody Prince and shortly thereafter formed The Shady Creek Outlaws. The foundation of their outlaw bluegrass sound is "just feeling the music."
The Outlaws pick some classic Waylon to cover: Good Old Boys, Never Could Toe the Mark, Good Hearted Woman, I'm A Ramblin' Man, Lucille, and the great tribute to Hank Williams, Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way. The latter was a minor pop hit for Waylon in 1974. How does one choose which songs to put on a tribute album? There are a couple that I wish The Outlaws would've worked up - My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys, Luchenbach Texas, Belle of the Ball, Amanda, Lonesome Onry and Mean are the ones that immediately come to mind. Perhaps another volume is forthcoming. I understand from label President Sammy Passamano Jr. that this album is the first in a new series from Rural Rhythm Records entitled "Fresh Cutgrass." Tribute albums seems to be catching on, and they are being used as vehicles to introduce many to bluegrass music in general. Waylon Jennings is a legend who left an idelible mark on the American country music scene. At only age 64, he died on 2/13/02 as a result of complications of diabetes. While the Shady Creek Outlaws venture is a novel idea, I'm not sure that they'll make much noise or have much impact with this tribute. For fans of Waylon's music and bluegrass, it will end up making a nice curio in one's music collection for folks who'd like to hear his music done in a slightly different manner.
