“Outlaw” country music applies mostly to the 1970s outlaws of country music that include Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and George Jones. These guys didn’t mind a little trouble from the law now and then and they rarely played by the rules. However, it also applies to country music from the 1980s, the classic country stuff from the likes of Dolly Parton, and more.

As we get full into the holiday season, for those on your list that loved that music from 40 years ago and beyond or those who love and admire those country stars that took more risks, we give you a list of items that any country music fan would love.  

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
