 Wanted! The Outlaws

 is a 

compilation album

 by

 Waylon Jennings,

 Willie Nelson, 

Jessi Colter,

 and 

Tompall Glaser,

 released by 

RCA Records

 in 1976. 

The album consists of

 previously released material 

with four new songs. 

Released to capitalize

 on the 

new outlaw

 country movement,

 Wanted! The Outlaws

 earned its place

 in music history 

by becoming the 

first country album 

to be 

platinum-certified,

 reaching sales

 of one million.

The album quickly

 reached No. 1 

on the

 country charts

 and peaked at

 No. 10 

on the pop charts,

 with two 

hit singles released, 

"Suspicious Minds" 

and 

"Good Hearted Woman." 

The two peaked at

 No. 2 and No. 1, 

respectively,

 both featuring 

Jennings. 

In 1984, 

this album was among 

the first to be reissued 

on compact disc 

by RCA Records, 

Background

By 1973, 

Waylon Jennings 

and 

Willie Nelson 

had asserted 

creative control 

over their music, 

which they both

 felt had been

 hampered for years

 by the conservative 

approach taken 

to their recordings

 at the 

Nashville division 

of RCA Records.

 In 1972,

 Nelson left the label 

for Atlantic Records

 and recorded a pair 

of critically 

acclaimed albums, 

Shotgun Willie 

(1973)

 and the concept album 

Phases and Stages

 (1974).

 With Nelson's 

popularity increasing, 

RCA did not want

 to lose Jennings

 as well, 

and granted him

 the authority to 

produce his records 

however he wanted. 

Jennings released 

the seminal 

Honky Tonk Heroes album

 in 1973, 

widely considered the first

 "outlaw" album, 

and

 This Time

 in 1974, 

which was recorded at

 Glaser Sound Studios,

 an independent studio

 in Nashville

 owned by 

brothers Chuck, 

Jim and Tompall Glaser. 

By 1975, 

after the 

explosive success of 

Nelson's 

Red Headed Stranger album,

 a whole new subgenre

 of country music 

had emerged called

 "Outlaw Country"

This new movement

 featured a more

 "progressive" 

sound,

 typified by the music of 

Jennings and Nelson

 but also inspired by

 songwriters like

 Kris Kristofferson,

 Billy Joe Shaver, 

Mickey Newbury,

 Lee Clayton, 

David Allan Coe 

and

 Townes Van Zandt.
