The Outlaws are a Southern rock band best known for their 1975 hit InchThere Goes Another Love SongInch and the extended guitar jam InchGreen Grass and High TidesInch from their 1975 debut album, plus their 1980 cover of the Stan Jones classic Inch(Ghost) Riders in the SkyInch.The band was formed in Tampa, Florida in late 1964 by Frank Guidry and was the first act signed to Arista Records under Clive Davis, Davis having been in the audience at a show in 1974 where the band was opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Columbus, Georgia. While The Outlaws are generally considered to be a part of the Southern rock genre, there are distinct differences in their approach and their influences. Their main similarity to other Southern rock bands is the dual lead guitar interplay, however The Outlaws' mix of country and rock elements displays the vocal harmony influences of groups like Buffalo Springfield, The Eagles, and Poco. Their use of three and four part harmonies sets them apart from their contemporaries who usually relied on a single lead vocalist. Album Tracks 1. There Goes Another Love Song 2. Knoxville Girl 3.
