Miranda Lambert & Eric Church Among Country Artists Participating in New Docuseries ‘They Called Us Outlaws’

Miranda Lambert, Eric Church and Willie Nelson are just a few of the stars who’ll offer insight into the outlaw country movement in a new, six-part documentary called They Called Us Outlaws.

In partnership with the Country Music Hall of Fame, They Called Us Outlaws was produced by Jessi Colter, an outlaw singer-songwriter and wife of Waylon Jennings. The documentary will include over 90 interviews and 12 hours of footage, offering a comprehensive look into the outlaw world from the perspective of those who love it and those who lived it.

Telling their stories in their own voices, along with a new breed of songsmiths and singers that share the outlaw ethos and are carrying it forward in a manner worthy of their heroes, other subjects interviewed include Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Matthew McConaughey and Margo Price. 

The project also features some of the last on-camera interviews from late country legends, including Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, Tom T. Hall and Jerry Jeff Walker.

Interviews for They Called Us Outlaws have taken place over the past decade. Award-winning filmmaker Eric Geadelmann directed the project, along with his Shadowbrook Studios.
