The Icons of Outlaw Country #132

Welcome to the untamed world of outlaw country, where the music is raw, the stories are real, and the spirit is free. This is the legacy of legends like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and their fellow rebels who shook up Nashville in the 1970s with a sound that’s bold, unpolished, and unforgettable. Hosted by John Wesley Karson, the voice of Outlaw Country Radio 103.7FM with over four decades of Texas radio grit, we honor the pioneers who carved their own path. Discover their songs, their struggles, and the movement that lives on in every chord. Join us for the ride—welcome to outlaw country.
