There’s a documentary series called “They Called Us Outlaws” that’s been in the works for more than a decade, and now it’s officially set to premiere at SXSW on March 15th.
The ten-part series explores how a small group of rebellious songwriters in Nashville and Austin flipped the script on country music in the late 1960s and 1970s. And it was successful as can be to say the least these legends too.
The project features never-before-seen footage and is narrated by Jack Ingram. Which is very fitting considering how Jack is also Texas country music outlaw in his own right as well.
It documentary also includes appearances from Jessi Colter, Kris Kristofferson, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church to name a few.
The 90-minute pilot episode centers on Waylon Jennings and the early Austin scene, including the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters. If you love outlaw country, this will be some must-see TV.
