The Outlaws – “Green Grass and High Tides” (Live 1977)

Outlaws - Green Grass And High Tides - Live At Capitol Theatre (1978)
The Outlaws pull six-string magic with **“Green Grass and High Tides”**, a 10-minute epic from their self-titled 1975 album—performed live in 1977 as a signature show closer.[1]

This song builds slow—classic twin-guitar harmonies weaving in twilight echo, up through solos that feel infinite. It’s Southern rock majesty layered over scrappy bar roots. Closing with a guitar duel that rolls for minutes? It’s showmanship and soul wrapped into one.

Lyrically, it’s simple and powerful—a mournful goodbye to the ones gone and a celebration of the ride left behind. But where it shines is in the audio waves—sun-baked strings, grit-soaked guitars, and a groove heavy enough to sit in your chest.

Final Verdict:

“Green Grass and High Tides” isn’t just a song—it’s an atmosphere. It’s a guitar-led sunset that never dims. The Outlaws didn’t just play it—they *lived* it. For anyone chasing Southern rock fingerprints, this one’s a must.
