Billy Joe Shaver performs his song “Honky Tonk Heroes” during the opening concert in 2018 for the museum’s major exhibition “Outlaws & Armadillos: Country’s Roaring '70s.” The song, from the Waylon Jennings album of the same name, is one of nine compositions Shaver had a part in writing on that landmark record.

The Outlaw movement increased country music’s audience in the 1970s, led by pacesetters such as Shaver, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, Bobby Bare, and many others—a time defined by artists in Nashville and Austin demanding creative freedom to make their own music. In this series, we mark memorable performances from that opening concert. The exhibition closes June 7.
