There was a time when country music didn’t come from the shiny lights and suits of Nash-Vegas. When a country artist was rough around the edges but had a true heart, they forged their own path without some A&R man telling them what they could and could not do. And if anyone knows the meaning of outlaw music, it’s undoubtedly legendary artists Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp. Whether they’re singing about being rolled up and smoked when they die, revisiting Highway 61 or suckin’ on a chili dog, this trio of artists have made careers on making the music they want instead of chasing fad trends.
