Description
|
|
|
|
Dick Gaughan’s previous recordings in a 30-year career include those as a member of the Celtic bands Boys of the Lough, Five Hand Reel, and Clan Alba, and over a dozen albums as a solo or duo artist. Gaughan defines “outlaws” as freedom-loving beings “who refuse to conform to society’s conventions and prejudices.” Woody Guthrie’s “Tom Joad” is based on John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath; “Wild Roses,” by Texas performer Kimmie Rhodes, celebrates the peaceful beauty of uncultivated blossoms. The interior strength of those with disabilities comes through the Si Kahn composition “What You Do With What You’ve Got.” The freedom to experience life is found in Gaughan’s cover of Phil Ochs’ “When I’m Gone,” the freedom to protest in Graham Moore’s “Tom Paine’s Bones,” and the freedom of self-sacrifice in “Strong Women Rule Us All."
