Wanted! The Outlaws is an album by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser, released in RCA Victor in 1976, and consisting of previously released material. Released to capitalize on the new outlaw country movement, Wanted! The Outlaws earned its place in music history by becoming the first country album to sell a million copies. The original liner notes were written by Chet Flippo, a contributor to Rolling Stone, and offer a short introduction and some praise on each artist involved with the project.
The term “outlaw” had been bandied about after Waylon Jennings’ 1972 hit “Ladies Love Outlaws,” but it didn’t permanently gel until the release of the album Wanted! The Outlaws in 1976. The songs in this packaged product weren’t new — the album contained previously released material by Jennings, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, and Jennings’ wife Jessi Colter (who had hit the charts a year earlier with “I’m Not Lisa”). But it marked the industry’s recognition of the changing times, and as the center point of a campaign to publicize Nashville’s new “progressive” breed, it worked like a charm. It quickly became the first country album to sell more than a million copies, and it boosted the careers of all involved. –AllMusic Review by Kurt Wolff
