First domestic release on CD by this 1970 funky rock black power classic. Probably best known as the writer of the Les McCann/Eddie Harris 1969 hit 'Compared To What', Daniels continues that song's groove-based political message on the Outlaw album. Produced by Joel Dorn & directed by William S. Fischer (1960's sideman for Eddie Harris, Joe Zawinul, Fathead Newman, Herbie Mann), Outlaw hits hard with late 60's black power messages & anti-government statements (with lyrics that still ring true today), all delivered in a hard hitting, but groovy rocking, slightly jazzy style with heavy weight Ron Carter on bass & the 'Welfare City Choir'. This album has been a favorite of underground DJ's & sampling stealers for many years. A Rock 'n' Soul classic! Water. 2003.
