Ennis and The Outlaws First In Line SIGNED Near Mint minus vinyl LP record in its original shrinkwrap -- VERY RARE but a great record. The cover is in VG++ condition (see pictures of the actual record). Lead singer Ennis signed this record with the dedication "To my friends the Duke's" who were apparently another group.
Ennis & The Outlaws "First In Line" (Worldwide Sound Records, 1982-?) (LP)
(Produced by M. W. Elliott & Ron Wheeler)
This outlaw bar-band from Palestine, Illinois featured lead singer Michael "Ennis" Elliott, along with steel player Paul Kidwell and drummer Steve Kidwell, who dedicate the album to their relative Janet Kidwell (1931-1982) a country radio DJ who played the comedy character "Cuzzin Jenny," with cornball schtick drawn from old-time hillbilly variety acts. They give good-natured, bluesy, boozy renditions of old favorites while adding some tasty new tunes to the country canon... Original songs include "First In Line" by Michael Elliott and "Grant Me" by Paul Kidwell. They cover a wide range of hard country songs, from classic Jimmie Rodgers stuff to "Would You Catch A Falling Star," which was a hit for John Anderson in 1981. One of the album highlights is their version of Adam Mitchell's "Out Among The Stars," a chilling, sorrowful, challenging song about a liquor store robbery that ends in a confrontation with the police -- widely covered in various genres, it was also recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard at various times in the 1980s. Since there's no date on this album, I'm not sure where exactly it fits in with the better-known celebrity versions, but the Outlaws may have been one of the earlier bands to cover it following Mitchell's original recording in 1979. They close the album with a languid instrumental version of "Faded Love," showcasing some particularly sweet, ornate pedal steel riffs.
