Personalities | Shel Silverstein | Country Rock & The Outlaws | Country
(Vocals, guitar, 1932–99)
Silverstein had just the right irreverent, satirical edge that the Outlaws movement was looking for, thanks to his background as a successful cartoonist for Playboy and a semi-successful folk singer. He wrote the comic fable ‘A Boy Named Sue’ for Johnny Cash (1969), the voodoo tale ‘Marie Laveau’ for Bobby Bare (1974), the ladies-man boast ‘The Taker’ for Waylon Jennings (1970), the seductive ‘Once More With Feeling’ (1979) for Kris Kristofferson and the whole double album, Lullabies, Legends And Lies (1974), for Bobby Bare.
