JIM WALLACE AND SONS "THE OUTLAW BAND"
The Outlaws are undoubtedly among the cream of New Zealands Country-Rock acts today, with a fine pedigree of musicians involved throughout the last 30 years of the N.Z. Country music scene. The unique thing is that they are all a family.....the WALLACE family, father Jim and three sons: Jim Jnr., Bass, vocals; Robert, drums, vocals; Alex, guitars, vocals. Jim Snr, guitar, harmonica, vocals, has written the bands new original album 'Jim Wallace & Sons', 'Óld Stones' which was produced by youngest son Alex. Jim and the boys have travelled as a group in their own right, or as members of other line-ups to the U.S., Canada, Australia, Scotland and of course all over New Zealand, performing in shows including Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Tom Jones, Johnny Tillotson, Peter Posa, Jimmy Vaughn and the Thunderbirds, Susan Raye, Suzanne Prentice, Tom Sharplin, Patsy Riggir, Shane, Ritchie Pickett, Gray Bartlett, Brendan Dugan, Jodi Vaughan. The group appeared recently on the 'Mary Lambie' T.V. show and TV One "Sunday" Peter Posa documentary & work together now full time performing their own style of original music.
Such Talent Hidden in New Zealand Country Music
This album has such a full musical sound.
Jim Wallace reminds me of Merle Haggard
with his smooth renditions of the songs.
Such a selection of songs from traditional
type music, to slow waltzes, to rock and blues.
How on earth these Wallaces are not
known the length and breadth of
New Zealand country music, I have no idea!
