Outlaws and Angels is a live album by American country and western musician Willie Nelson. It was recorded on May 5, 2004, at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California. It was released on September 21, 2004, by the Lost Highway label. The concert featured guest performers singing duets with Nelson on each song and was later aired on cable television.
***
Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books.
***
Toby Keith Covel (born July 8, 1961) is an American country singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. Keith released his first four studio albums-1993's Toby Keith, 1994's Boomtown, 1996's Blue Moon and 1997's Dream Walkin', plus a Greatest Hits package for various divisions of Mercury Records before leaving Mercury in 1998. These albums all earned Gold or higher certification, and produced several Top Ten singles, including his debut "Should've Been a Cowboy", which topped the country charts and was the most-played country song of the 1990s. The song has received three million spins since its release, according to Broadcast Music Incorporated.
***
Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 - April 6, 2016) was an American country singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler.
Haggard was born in Oildale, California, during the Great Depression. His childhood was troubled after the death of his father, and he was incarcerated several times in his youth. After being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, he managed to turn his life around and launch a successful country music career, gaining popularity with his songs about the working class that occasionally contained themes contrary to the prevailing anti-Vietnam War sentiment of much popular music of the time. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, he had 38 number-one hits on the US country charts, several of which also made the Billboard all-genre singles chart.[1] Haggard continued to release successful albums into the 2000s.

Lyrics:
Livin on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath as hard as kerosene
You weren't your momma's only boy, but her favorite one it seemed
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match, you know, on the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dyin words, ah but that's the way it goes
All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him slip away, out of kindness, I suppose
Lefty, he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows
All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him slip away, out of kindness I suppose
The poets tell how old Pancho fell, and Lefty's livin in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends, we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old
All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose
A few gray Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose
Los Bukis Los Bukis
👍💓
how he got the bread. the words and guitars just harmony
😊
Oh my word, thank you for the kindness ❤and appreciation 💖 4 these 2 GIANTS of popular music 🎶 and definitely copying the lyrics for us, well done 👏
Toby Keith's smile when Merle starts to sing is priceless. He adored Merle.
God bless both of them ❤
There's a real cool story about one of Merle's last concerts. Toby was there and Merle was failing, and he wasn't sure how long he could make it on stage. Toby told him he'd help out. Merle asked him how many of his songs he knew and Toby said, "Hell Merle, I know 'em all!" He ended up finishing the show for him.
Sure the hell am going to miss Toby.........
I captured it. 🙂 It'sva beauty.
Losing Toby was sudden and hard to take ..We worked the same oil fields at the same time in west Oklahoma ..we never met in those days but we sure chewed the same dirt at the same time ..Miss you boss
When you mentioned "west Oklahoma" I had to think for a bit to remember working there back in 1981. Guymon area. April. Thought I was going to see my first tornado (coming from Canada). A fairly dry and desolate place. Friendly people though. Oklahoma has brought us so many great entertainers!
I made as far west as Laverne Oklahoma and was about 60 miles away from you in ,81. Oklahoma has produced some great artists . Leon Russell , Garth and Toby .. Reba Mcentire used to be a waitress and served my dad back in the day . Ronnie Dunn and Roy Clark lived near me and I did meet Ronnie just before he left for Nashville ...many , many others from our state @@chrisbenoit129
sorry bro from this texas boy sad
Looking back, I'm thinkin "live like you were dyin" Tim McGraw song (idk who wrote it) is about Toby Keith. That's based on nothing at all, just sayin. Also you and I might've choked on the same dust. I lived in Boise City "at the turn of the century" and Amarillo since '05. Drove a flatbed over the road, probably delivered a million miles of drilling pipe and sacks of 'mud' from MT and ND to TX and LA (seen one or two oilfields)
Rest In Peace Toby
Wow...how many other entertainers got to sing this with Merle & Willie...speaks volumes. ❤
Toby respected his elders and loved and admired Merle and Willie. Just beautiful. ❤
Only Willie left. Merle & Toby 2 greats we miss!
😇😇 👀 down. 🎶 together! Wow amazing concert!
🙏🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🙏
AMEN❤😞💔😇🙏🌹
❤
If Toby was older, he could have been the fifth highwayman.
Merle could have been! But in the song there is the higghwayman, the sailor, the dam builder and the astronaut... There should have been a fifth verse!
❤
100%
The smile on Merle’s face when Toby hit that certain tune with his voice. So awesome to see right now
I'm 74 and play this great song on my guitar...We must not let it die...
Great songs never die
Keep the faith.
Amen
This song will NEVER DIE
That's awesome! Keep on rocking!
My 21 year old son loves this song... This song will NEVER DIE.
Willie and Merle are legends and the addition of Toby in this song up'd the song! 3 COUNTRY LEGENDS!!!
Thank You Toby for looking out for Merle.
Just pure natural talent on that stage
Only Wiilie would play a guitar onstage that looks older than him.
RIP Toby and Merle !!
R.I.P Merle Haggard!
April 6, 1937 - April 6, 2016 (age) 79
And now Toby, i can't believe it 😢
Good for Toby getting to jam w/ two of the greats i know he lovend it. 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉
Wow three great legends whom I love all their music, now only one left. Good old Willie and he is the oldest. RIP Toby and Merle
Look at Toby's Smile. He is in Awe
Look at how the older stars let Toby Keith step forward and sing a good song with them !!! ❤🎉😊
Toby was a great musician. A great loss for all of us. We should treasure his recordings.
Toby showed respect to icon legends. They all hwd natural respect for each other. I Love watching these videos.
Great to see Willie shredding!
Beautiful 3 awesome guy's just doesn't get better 😊
Townes Van Zandt was one of the best songwriters ever, and one of Ft Worth's most talented sons.
Well this song anyway.
Townes, bless his heart, so sad he is gone too.
WOW!!! Do you complaining people want some "cheese with your whine". Most of the musicians that I play music around are amazed at the way Willie is able to break time and rhythm with his voice and guitar and come back to where the band has kept the back beat and rhythm. I will bet you can't do it!!!!!!
No, I can't, but I don't bill myself as a singing star and charge lots of money for people to come listen to me slaughter a classic and be pitchy as hell. That guy on the right, whoever he is, was just gawd awful. If I'd been there and paid the gate, I'd have been asking for my money back.
I think they sounded great!
@@r.mcbride2837 obviously you moron dont knowxyour country muscians
R. McBride The guy on the right is Toby Keith......a certified super star. All three are super stars. A live show can be a bit confusing if you try to compare it with a released studio recording. The timing will always be different. Just being in the same room with these guys is worth the ticket. RIP Haggard.
That's our Mr Nelson, unique.☘️
I can only imagine how Toby felt on that stage performing such a great song with two legends like Merle and Willie. Awesome.
blessed
Oh someone else was on the stage with Merle and Willie ? Between Merle making that Fender ring and Willie making Trigger sing I didn't notice anyone else..
dear doug believe is ol scotty boots emerick on the right of the stage but not sure he usually on plays acoustic guitars he told me a few stories about backing up willie abd in studio with merle when they recorded she aint hooked in me no more he gave me merles best of cd advance copy with the song for my 50th birthday he dated my sister for quite alwhile do know him well if so must have been highllight of his music career also pretty sure is ol boots emerick told friend of mine has loads of guitars so maybe he is playing electric my nephew knows scott toby whole bunch thougt he said scott was in the band for the show have to ask him either way great performance by all old boys look like sorry spelling server poor rural virginia he also showed me pictures of whole bunch toby band in jimmy buffets studio but the show must have been special for ol toby love him or hate him sister called him sweet old bear scott and band good ol.boy.very laid back great sense of humour nephew says bunch of good ol boys he traveled with them from nville on tour bus to nissan pavillion met my neice and husband backstage passes they knew band and crew also great show nephew said then ol boys headed back to nville exhausted but ol tobys drivers and crew got them back safe and sound thanks driver my nephew on the bus ultra professional kept everyone safe
he probably felt shivers
The next day he wrote "I'll never smoke weed with Willy again" that's how he felt lol
I love this song country music legends ❤️🎶🎸🤠
I am so grateful we can still watch live performances such as these. Are they perfectly sung and played? No, but that’s the beauty of live music. Willie was picking that guitar like a boss, and Toby Keith knew he was on stage with two absolute legendary artists. That’s what made this special.
@Toby Keith Official Chanel Ever since you started singing. I'm in Georgia.
All of the newer singers nowadays Can't even come close to the older country, Western singers.
Merveilleuse chanson merci Townes Van Zandt !
Iconic performamce of iconic song. Man, doesn t get any better with Willie, Merle (RIP)

Fantastic music!
Best of the best...
One of Townes van Zandt’s very best.
3 Greats mighty Merle Willie Big Tobe love these guys
YOU PEOPLE COMPLAIN TOO MUCH. IT'S MUSIC AND IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL. DON'T OVER THINK IT!
AMEN Cathy. Too many social media "experts on everything" these days. Heck, I wrongfully go there myself when I need to get back at the world at times. But mostly we all need to strive to speak the Truth in LOVE.........
Damn right
What a great group to hear one of the few last times
They sound amazing. The bass player and drummer nailed it!
Willie and that guitar is not to be ignored. Three great and stylistic voices!
Man, it doesn't get much better than that!! Three of the best on one the best songs!!
Nothing could sound any better, Waylon, Willie and Toby. I'm sure Waylon and Toby are singing up in Heaven keeping an eye on Willie. Willie's voice after all these years is pure perfection. Love them all so much.
No massage stage production to bolster mediocre talent. Just three musical geniuses playing one of the greatest songs ever written. Pure joy!
This song always reaches my deepest emotions and I haven't yet figured out why.
@Toby Keith Official Chanel I litterally listen to this every day while at work, always pulls me back 👌
@Toby Keith Official Chanel NEVER !!! 👌 much love from the UK 👌😁
Same here! And I don't know exactly why but it always has.
What a thrill it must have been to share the stage with the Hag and Willie. Legends!
To all of those who complain that the singing is off, What do you want? A live performance will always be different each time (especially if the musician isn't lip syncing) and will always be different from the studio engineered version.
+D Ole People always need something to complain about. Fact is, the great majority of them are talentless, vapid bores who couldn't carry a tune in a paper bag.
D Ole s
But atleast it's honest and real!
These fellas have stayed true to country period! Good stuff
I think its great
This is a classic performance. Willie’s guitar solos are spot on as well.
❤❤❤this was so good..all of the greats
❤love❤this❤song❤loved❤ Tobey ❤ Keith ❤🙏RIP🙏
🇺🇲🇨🇱🤠❤️ Always ❤️🇺🇲🇨🇱🤠🇨🇱 TEXAS 🇨🇱
That is real music! Some of the younger generations don’t appreciate it, but that is ok, cause I don’t appreciate some of what they call music either.
Toby Keith did damn well. Somebody Got to pick up the songs of the past. Good job all. 👍
R.I.P. Merle
Merle makes it good
Rest easy toby i would've loved him and george strait do this together
