For Geadelmann, the connections between Kristofferson, Nelson, and Jennings and their modern inheritors like Tyler Childers, Miranda Lambert, and Jack Ingram are about more than eschewing the typical industry path; it’s about a dedication to songwriting and one’s own artistic vision, regardless of the outcomes.
“At the end of the day, it’s what it’s all about,” Geadelmann says. “It’s not a fuck-you to the industry. It’s an exploration of what it means to be an artist and follow what’s inside yourself.”
Country music deserves this kind of deep dive piece into the outlaw movement that transcends generations, and even genres, and this looks to be an incredible series that country music fans will be thrilled to watch
They Called Us Outlaws, a documentary series nearly 15 years in the making, tells the story of “cosmic cowboys, honky tonk heroes and the rise of renegade troubadours.”
The docuseries is being presented in association with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Some footage featured in the series originally appeared in an outlaw country-themed exhibit co-curated by Geadelmann that was housed at the museum from 2018 to 2022. Geadelmann and Magelky created a short-film series that served as the centerpiece of the exhibit.
