Somebody's gotta keep things moving along...in the case of the Outlaws, one of those "somebodies" was Alan Walden. He's been there since the old club days and has seen a lot of the band's history go down. I don't think I can do Alan the justice that was done him in the GRITZ interview, so I'm gonna send ya'll over there to learn more about the guiding hand behind the Outlaws, LS, Otis Redding and a lot of others. You'll also found Alan listed in the GRITZ Southern Music Hall of Fame under producers....he is also the owner of Hustlers, Inc., the company which published most of the Outlaws tunes.
Alan's current passion musically is Chris Hicks, who was also a later member of the Outlaws, and his personal passion, well, how about his son Christian?
Below are a few shots of Alan, who is a regular
in our chat room.
