Documentary About Outlaw Country To Premiere At SXSW
A documentary series called “They Called Us Outlaws” has been in the works for more than a decade, and now it’s officially set to premiere at SXSW on March 15th.
The ten-part series explores how a small group of rebellious songwriters in Nashville and Austin flipped the script on country music in the late 1960s and 1970s.
The project features never-before-seen footage and is narrated by Jack Ingram.
It also includes appearances from Jessi Colter and Kris Kristofferson, along with Miranda Lambert and Eric Church.
The 90-minute pilot episode centers on Waylon Jennings and the early Austin scene, including the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters.
