Outlaw Blues?

The Outlaw Blues is a new subgenre of blues music that draws its influences from the American Southwest, New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta, Rockabilly and Folk Rock with an original Outlaw Beat. This is also the music of a larger worldwide literary movement, the Outlaw Movement. The Outlaw Movement is about artists absorbing outside influences and recreating their art form in their own image. The lyrics originate from Outlaw poetry while the vocal style and music are in themselves, Outlaw, that is a whole variety of musical influences internalized and recreated to revitalize the sound through the persona of the artist. The Outlaw Movement is also enhanced by the spirit of outlaw personas such as Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and John Dillinger. Tony Moffeit and guitarist Rick Terlep capture the musical essence of the movement in this studio release that has been based on Tony and Rick’s nationwide performances over the last few years. This is the Blues “sand papered, sliced, diced, and all scratched to hell.”

The Outlaw Blues is the blues stripped bare. The lyrics stripped down to Outlaw Poetry. The music stripped down to its pure essence. The Outlaw Blues Revolution is about a revitalization of music, a new sound that fuses the blues with Outlaw. It is characterized by blues poetry; the voodoo roots of the blues; innovative and unusual guitar work; a throbbing rhythm with its source in the conga drum, the fingersnap, the footstomp; and an underlying philosophy of Outlaw, based on the individual being a law unto oneself .
