Jessi Colter

What took place in Austin and in Nashville in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s was very little significantly less than a tectonic change in nation music. From Tennessee to Texas, musicians were breaking regulations, flouting tradition and acknowledged approaches of earning songs and undertaking small business in what would turn into the most important sport changer of them all. They Named Us Outlaws: The Cosmic Cowboys, Honky Tonk Heroes and Increase of the Renegade Troubadours is essentially 6 films functioning 12 several hours with about 100 artists — luminaries from the era and torchbearers using it forward.

A 10 years in the building and currently in the last phases of creation by Geadelmann (author/director/producer/govt producer/cinematographer/music producer) and Denver-primarily based Kelly Magelky (producer/director of pictures/editor), the impartial job, They Termed Us Outlaws will feature around 100 interviews and consist of quite a few State Music Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members, as well as luminaries throughout various genres and generations like: Emmylou Harris, Roger McGuinn, Bobby Bare, Charlie McCoy, Al Kooper, Chris Gantry, Michael Martin Murphey, Billy F. Gibbons, Marcia Ball and Freda and The Firedogs’ Bobby Earl Smith, Delbert McClinton, The Flatlanders (Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock), Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jeff Hanna, Larry Gatlin, Willis Allan Ramsey, The Shed Gonzo Band’s Gary P. Nunn & “Cosmic Bob” Livingston, Ray Benson, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen and “The Outlaw Sweetheart” Kimmie Rhodes. They Named Us Outlaws also functions interviews with a variety of heroes from the era now long gone far too before long such as Man Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver, Leon Russell, Tom T. Hall, Charlie Daniels, Richie Albright and Fred Foster.

In addition, They Referred to as Us Outlaws includes dozens of scenes and performances with up coming-technology troubadours and rockers, performers and producers like: Shooter Jennings, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Margo Cost, Jason Aldean, Chris Shiflett, Holly Williams, Jewel, Tyler Childers, Nathaniel Rateliff, Wesley Schultz (The Lumineers), Jon Randall, Rhett Miller, Jessi Alexander, Brett James, Randy Rogers, Parker McCollum, Lee Ann Womack, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Gary Allan, Charley Crockett, Aubrie Sellers, John R. Miller, William Beckman, Brooks & Dunn, Tony Brown, Allen Reynolds and Frank Liddell. Place Tunes Hall of Fame member and legendary RCA head Jerry Bradley and Significant Equipment Label Group founder Scott Borchetta explore the longstanding “art vs. commerce” battle and traits and New York Instances Finest Providing author and Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey testifies to the cultural effect of the Outlaw period right now and the requirement to carry it forward.

They Identified as Us Outlaws also options a treasure trove of exceptional and under no circumstances-prior to-seen overall performance footage and under no circumstances-heard recordings from lots of of the featured artists’ particular archives and, in specific, offers live shows from Austin’s legendary Armadillo Planet Headquarters.

What began as a one, indie film – 3,707 days ago – on so-called ‘outlaw country’ someway turned a twelve-hour motion picture document of an era, that gives portraits of a multitude of outstanding artists, songwriters, musicians and producers — some well-identified and some others much more obscure — who had (& have) the braveness to adhere to what’s inside themselves…regardless of industry pressures and societal norms. 

The historical and cultural importance of their tales are echoed by a multitude of existing singer-songwriters that embody the independent ethos of the ‘do it their way’ heroes. Together with the large group at the State Tunes Hall of Fame and Museum and their partnership during its Outlaws & Armadillos exhibit, as very well as a group of like-hearted and like-minded financiers from Austin and Nashville, I really don’t think any of this would be feasible with no Jessi Colter. Her soulfulness and spirituality served as our guidebook — she’s the heartbeat of this movie collection.

Eric Geadelmann

In addition to Geadelmann, Magelky and Colter, the team behind They Referred to as Us Outlaws consists of multi-time Academy of Region Songs award-winner and Grammy-nominee, Jack Ingram (narrator and executive producer), 9-time Grammy winner, Ray Benson (government producer), audio entertainment govt Ken Levitan (executive producer), acclaimed singer-songwriter Kimmie Rhodes (co-producer), musician/journalist Michael Simmons (associate producer) and consulting producers: author Joe Nick Patoski (Willie Nelson An Epic Daily life, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Caught In the Crossfire etcetera), and Tamara Saviano (writer and filmmaker, Devoid of Acquiring Killed or Caught). Acclaimed musician and Kings of Leon band member Chris Coleman designed the unique songs by way of the newly-fashioned collective Scenic Road Revival, which also involves musicians Alex Munoz and Frank Rische.

The Region Tunes Hall of Fame and Museum also forged a distinctive partnership with Geadelmann, who served as a co-curator of the museum’s new important exhibition Outlaws & Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ’70s.

Geadelmann will return to the museum as element of AmericanaFest to screen an unique phase of They Identified as Us Outlaws centered on the famous Austin songs venue Armadillo Planet Headquarters.
