Exhibit explores country music's outlaws, poets and pickers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — If the term "outlaw country" evokes images of Willie Nelson's hippie braids or Waylon Jennings' "Honky Tonk Heroes," then you'll want to see a new museum exhibit offering a deeper look at the poets, pickers and characters who revolutionized country music in the 1970s.
"Outlaws & Armadillos: Country's Roaring '70s" at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, runs through 2021. It features never-before-seen photos and interviews with iconic musicians, unique memorabilia, instruments and original artwork and concert posters from the counterculture scene that stretched from Austin to Nashville.
