(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080324/HDNETLOGO) In the Old West, desperadoes and bank robbers eluded lawmen using a series of get-away routes across the Western frontier creating the legendary Outlaw Trail. In the 1970's, some country artists in Austin, Texas rebelled against "Nashville Country," using that same "outlaw spirit," they brought the grit and life back to country music.
In this one-of-a-kind tribute, rising stars alongside veteran country artists perform in honor of the Outlaw, in music and in lore, including songs from Outlaw Country legends Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Performers include Joe Ely, Jessie Colter, Cowboy Troy, Rodney Crowell, Carlene Carter, Asleep at the Wheel, Holly Williams and many more. "The Outlaw Trail: Where Outlaw Legends & Outlaw Music Meet" will air as part of "Classic Country Night" on HDNet and is followed by "Allison Krauss and Union Station" at 10:00 p.m. ET and "Vince Gill: Live at the Ryman" at midnight ET. WHEN: Sunday, May 18 at 8:00 p.m. ET. About HDNet
