You’re Not an Outlaw Country Fan If You Don’t Get 10/12 On This Quiz

Outlaw country was a sensation that swept the nation starting in the early 1970s that went on to dominate the country music scene well into the next decade, and inspire generations of singers and songwriters for many more years to come. Defined by artists such as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, the genre eschewed the slick production techniques of Nashville in favor of a more stripped down approach with some rock and roll and blues elements thrown in. They also grew their hair out long, partied harder than most rock stars and refused to conform the strict conventions of polite society.

If you are taking this quiz you probably already knew that, but how much do you know about the people behind the music? They call it “outlaw” country for a reason, and these musicians have the wild and crazy stories to back it up.  If you consider yourself a fan, then it’s time to put up or shut up, and see how you do.
