“Those of us who came of age with Outlaw Country know their brilliance as musicians and songwriters. We also know there was an intellectual, even academic, depth to the Outlaws--e.g., Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar. The Outlaws were not just musicians and intellectuals. They were, as C. M. Howell shows in this marvelous book, theologians and their theology a public theology. The Outlaws may have been in exile in Luekenbach, but they were never very far from God.”
