Outlaws | Branches of Country Music | Country Music | Ken Burns

His song–“Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way”–became a rallying cry for the movement Waylon, Willie, and others had begun that broadened the definition of country music even more.

It was summarized in the title of an album the two of them did together: Wanted! The Outlaws.

The album rose to the top of the country charts, crossed over to the Top Ten on pop charts and, after selling a million copies, became the first certified platinum album in country music history. Then it sold a million more. “Suddenly, we didn't need Nashville,” Jennings said. “They needed us.”
