“PLEASE WELCOME THE FLORIDA GUITAR ARMY...’ Never has there been a more fitting introduction for a band of such enduring stamina and total commitment to the art of guitar soloing. Alongside the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws were one of the premiere Southern Rock groups operating during the late 1970s, unleashing a superlative selection of rural, country-tinged songs, laced with lashings of deliciously executed lead guitar from not one... nor two... but THREE lead guitarists. ‘Bring It Back Alive’ was the band’s fourth record, in an era where the double live album was king. It was a time when Kiss, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Rush had been benefiting enormously from the release of live recordings, helping to boost reputations and serving as a platform for further success. This album is a double live master-class in vintage Southern Rock, recorded on the band’s 1977 North American tour (one gig in Miami playing to 30,000 screaming fans) when they were affectionately dubbed the ‘Florida Guitar Army’. Aided and abetted by two drummers and featuring guitar wizard Freddie Salem, the album boasts, for the first time, a fully reinstated twelve song quota and includes the definitive twenty-one minute version of their epic live center piece ‘Green Grass And High Tides’, this is an essential example of the vintage Southern Rock sound.
