THIS LANDMARK, CHART-TOPPING STATEMENT COMES WITH <\/strong>
\nBONUS TRACKS & SPECIAL PACKAGING<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most successful country album of 2014, ‘The Outsiders’<\/strong> is a true<\/em>
\nstatement of intent, defining the North Carolina story-teller’s view that song-writing shouldn’t be restrained by convention or by style.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of current talk about the crossover between country and rock, which makes now the perfect time for this ground-breaking outing to be getting an official June 12th<\/strong> re-issue via Snakefarm Records<\/strong> across CD, double gatefold vinyl & digital, complete with special packaging and extra tracks \u2013 including a bonus CD of live material with the LP.<\/p>\n

Pre-order the album HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simply, ‘The Outsiders’<\/strong> was boldly blurring those rock \/ country lines back in 2014, with tracks such as ‘That’s Damn Rock & Roll’<\/strong> and the title song showing that Eric<\/strong> and his band needed no encouragement to move into the rock ‘n’ roll fast lane; elsewhere, numbers such as ‘A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young’<\/strong> and ‘Talladega’<\/strong> show the artist in a more vulnerable, retrospective light, but every number is bound together by the same consuming desire to follow the natural flow of the music and to keep things real<\/em>.<\/p>\n
