I'd go with shaver. Only one I can think of that stood trial for shooting someone and had multiple witness say he asked the guy if he wanted it in the stomach or the head before shooting him
LMFAO. Outlaws? When a bunch of drunk Texans line dance to crappy music played by an ex-con they think that they are outlaws! What about the originals? Jimmie Rogers, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe and, even Hank Sr.
World class musicians and songwriters, not stoned out drunks, addicts and cons. YMMV
I think Johnny Paycheck shot a guy and did a stretch in the pen over it. That’s pretty outlaw.
Hank only drank when he was alone or with somebody.
There's a long list of country outlaws who did time, and a longer list of them that should have for the drugs and other crazy sheet they did. If you want to talk about fame, talent and changing the landscape of music, nobody can touch Hank Sr. in my opinion. I much prefer his sons style, but I respect the old man for what he did.
My dad was eating in a Shoneys in Nashville back in the late 70's. He said a limousine comes screaming into the parking lot tires screeching the whole way. He said it stops and Waylon Jennings gets out of the drivers seat alone. Stumbles into the restaurant and gets the buffet. My dad said he looked like complete $ hit. Hair all messed up, filthy clothes. he said it looked like he had been up for days haha. said he looked so terrible and looked in such a foul mood no one in the restaurant dared go up and talk to him.
Don't know for sure, but pretty sure that Waylon was the one that led what became known as the "Outlaw movement". Not that there weren't outlaws before him.
On another note, I worked with the son of the guy (Larry Wise) that Johnny Paycheck shot. The son was NOT a fan of Johnny. Said his dad was sitting in a bar minding his own business when Johnny walked in and somebody said, "Hey Johnny, ever tried some of Larry's turtle soup?" Johnny reportedly said, "I ain't no damn redneck!" and shot Larry.

I saw a YouTube video of Shaver telling the story about that shooting. He said he shot the guy " Between the muther and fughker". I always assumed he meant he shot him in the mouth as the guy was being impolite. He said his wife or maybe ex-wife was involved in the disagreement.
Other than writing some songs other people sang I never understood how or why Willie was popular. He can’t carry a tune in a bucket and his guitar “playing” is laughable.
