Cody Jinks is not mincing his words. Over the weekend, the highly anticipated They Called Us Outlaws documentary series made its debut at SXSW in Austin, Texas, in the form of a Waylon Jennings-centric, 90-minute pilot, titled “The Prologue – Waylon, The Dillo, and That Outlaw Bit”. Directed by Eric Geadelmann and Kelly Magelky, the six-part, 12 hour series promised to give a detailed look into the ever-important “Outlaw” movement, which took country music by storm in the late 60s and early 70s. While, of course, the movement was made famous by the likes of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, there were countless other artists and unsung heroes at the time, ranging from the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Jessi Colter, who produced They Called Us Outlaws, Guy Clark, Tom T. Hall, Billy Joe Shaver, Tompall Glazer and many more. With Jessi Colter, Kris Kristofferson, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Tyler Childers, Billy Joe Shaver, The Flatlanders, Tony Brown, Leon Russell, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bobby Bare, Marcia Ball, Michael Martin Murphey, Billy F. Gibbons, Kimmie Rhodes, Delbert McClinton, Robert Earl Keen, Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, Parker McCollum, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Chris Shiflett, Ashley McBryde, Turnpike Troubadours, and more all set to be featured in the documentary, the hype surrounding it has been through the roof since it was announced. Given the anticipation of They Called Us Outlaws and the fact that a cornerstone album in the outlaw movement, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Jessi Colter’s Wanted: The Outlaws, celebrated its 50th anniversary on January 12th, Billboard released an article on March 10th titled, “How ‘Wanted! The Outlaws’ Became Country’s First Platinum Album — And A Movement For Outsiders.” The article, which was written by Tom Roland, editor of the Billboard Country Update since 2010 and creator of the popular country database RolandNote.com, celebrates the album and movement with anecdotes from the likes of Ronnie Dunn, Josh Osborne (of Brothers Osborne), Steve Earle, Jessi Colter and more. Ultimately, Roland made a fatal flaw with his modern-day comparisons later in the article, listing the likes of Luke Combs, Corey Kent, Zach Bryan, Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert (among others) as “modern-day outlaws.” An excerpt reads as follows: “[Steve] Earle, with his gruff “Guitar Town,” revived the outlaw vibe in the next generation of country acts, but he was hardly alone at carrying the flame forward. Jamey Johnson, Jason Aldean and Eric Church all emerged in the 21st century’s first decade as self-styled artists making music that cut against the grain. Other modern-day outlaws include Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Corey Kent, Red Clay Strays, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Miranda Lambert, not to mention most of the Texas red-dirt artists and the country-centric acts that are classified as Americana.” Wildly inaccurate from a writer and editor of Roland’s stature, he fails to mention the likes of Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Turnpike Troubadours, Charley Crockett, Cody Jinks, Colter Wall, Whitey Morgan and the 78’s, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Cross Canadian Ragweed and a plethora of other artists who have actually carried on the tradition of the outlaw movement compared to the likes of major label artists such as Aldean. Jinks, who has remained one of the unsung heroes of today’s actual modern outlaw movement, took exception to this article. On Sunday, he posted a text message exchange with an unknown recipient. In the message, the “Hippies and Cowboys” singer would give Billboard and Rolan kudos for highlighting the Wanted album but ended up calling the rest of the article “garbage,” thanks to some of the names listed as “modern outlaws.” He’d follow that up by shouting out Jamey Johnson as the only outlaw listed in the article. Clarifying that he meant no disrespect to the other artists, he’d call on Billboard to hire another writer who “knows more about country than this entry level drivel.” “This is some interesting writing by someone that did a little studying on country music and wrote an article. The celebration of The Outlaws record is certainly warranted! Kudos to Billboard for that. The rest of the article is garbage. The only “modern outlaw” to make the list is Jamey Johnson. Jamey actually told his label to Eff Off! I love the rest of the artists on that list and have played with them but they are not outlaws. There are not any new outlaws, these artists are still on labels that control everything. There are simply signed and indie artists today. So, no disrespect to the amazing artists named here, you are all awesome. Billboard might want to hire a writer that knows more about country than this entry level drivel. Billboard and the record labels continue to screw it up. What else is new?” View this post on Instagram This morning, he’d return with even more fervor on Instagram. Calling the aforementioned article a “fluff piece by a senior writer at Billboard about a documentary backed by the Country Music Hall of Fame and an AI tech entrepreneur,” Jinks would now take aim at both Roland’s piece as well as co-director, Eric Geadelmann, who is a former AI developer-turned-filmmaker. “My apologies. At the time of my last post, I didn’t know this article was a fluff piece by a senior writer at Billboard about a documentary backed by the Country Music Hall of Fame and an AI tech entrepreneur that bought his way into the country music label elite’s favoritism.” Jinks would go on to note that he’s sure that the documentary will provide some good insight from some of the legendary artists mentioned previously. However, he would go on to mention the lack of key names in the modern outlaw movement, such as Whitey Morgan, Ward Davis, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Boland, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Wade Bowen and more. “No doubt this documentary will have great clips and things to learn about our outlaw heroes of old, with great interviews and opinions from some of our favorite artists of today. I’m sure the production, the cast, and everything else is top notch. I’m friends with several people in it and they are great, so for them, that’s awesome. But all of this begs one question: During any portion of the making of this, did anyone ask, “Where’s Whitey and Ward? Where’s Sunny, Blackberry Smoke, Wade Bowen, Jason Boland? Where’s Dallas Moore, Cross Canadian Ragweed? Where’s Hank Jr.? (Wait, the establishment hated his Dad until it was profitable to use his name.)” He’d then express his dissatisfaction with the fact that the Country Music HOF is partnering with Geadelmann for the documentary, given his background in AI, before posing the question, “if being outlaw is anti-machine, how is there anything outlaw about this documentary?” “All that to say, I take exception to the Country Music Hall of Fame partnering with someone who developed AI – the single biggest executioner of real art, sans major labels. Elitists and superpowers shape history by rewriting it for themselves. Artists paint the whole picture. I’d rather be an artist. Which brings me to my last question: if being outlaw is anti-machine, how is there anything outlaw about this documentary? For the record, I’m a self proclaimed punk. Y’all think Hank done it this way? I’ll see y’all on the road.” View this post on Instagram One thing that should be noted about Geadelmann is the fact that he has got his start in the medical industry over 25 years ago developing AI systems for medical use before making his transition into filmmaking. Though it remains unclear if he still invests in any generative AI technology/companies, research/medical-based AI tech is a far cry from the deceptive and anti-art nature of modern-day generative AI. Regardless, the “David” singer has remained one of the most prominent leaders of today’s actual crop of modern-day outlaws, and his voice should undoubtedly be heard on this issue. As of now, Geadelmann and the rest of the They Called Us Outlaws team have yet to respond to Jinks.The post “Y’all Think Hank Done It This Way?”: Cody Jinks Goes Scorched Earth On “Fluff Piece” Billboard Article About ‘They Called Us Outlaws’ Documentary first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
