Wanted! The Outlaws is compilation album by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser, released by RCA Records in 1976. The album consists entirely of previously released material. 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 #1 on the country charts and peaked at #10 on the pop charts, with two hit singles released, "Suspicious Minds" and "Good Hearted Woman." The two peaked at #2 and #1, respectively, both featuring Jennings. In 1984, this album was among the first to be reissued on compact disc by RCA Records.
In 1984, RCA reissued the original 11 track album on compact disc. In 1988, the original CD issue was deleted and an abridged version of the album was released on CD, omitting Waylon & Jessi's "Suspicious Minds", Tompall Glaser's "Put Another Log On The Fire" and Waylon's "Honky Tonk Heroes". The reasons for the deletions are unknown to this day. Wanted! The Outlaws was reissued on CD by RCA again in 1996 not only with all 11 original tracks restored, but augmented with ten bonus tracks. Only one of these, Steve Earle's "Nowhere Road", had previously been unreleased.

Thanks for the article. By 1975, Jennings had his sound down almost to an exact science, and this No. 2 hit represented one of his most quintessential moments. Most of the time I listen his songs from song-list.net
