The tour to promote the album is rather unsuccessful they are unable to fill the arenas. The last album put out by the band was the self titled album "Henry Paul" in 1982, but unfortunately it receives very little air play.Īfter the Henry Paul Band breaks up, Henry reunites with Hughie Thomasson in 1986 and they release the Outlaws reunion album "Soldiers Of Fortune".
This album has a mixture of almost every type of music from the rock songs like "Hollywood Paradise" to the pop songs like the cover of the old Van Morrison song "Brown Eyed Girl" to the country sounding "Distant Riders". Monte then leaves the group, and in 1981 they released their third album "Anytime". It's on the second album in which the band had their biggest hit "Longshot" (which by the way does not have Henry doing lead vocals). In 1980, Monte Yoho leaves the Outlaws and joins the Henry Paul Band for their second album called "Feel The Heat" which has a much harder edge than their previous debut album which was much more southern rock. Their debut album's title track "Grey Ghost" is unofficially dedicated to Lynyrd Skynrd's lead singer Ronnie Van Zant who had died in a plane crash in 1977.
Soon after he left the Outlaws, the Henry Paul Band is signed to a four record deal with Atlantic. Then in August of 1977 after the release of their third album "Hurry Sundown", Henry left the band to start a solo career. The next year they released their follow-up album "Lady In Waiting" in which Henry did lead vocals on 3 more songs. On the album Henry does lead on 3 of the more countryish songs including "Knoxville Girl" among others. In March of 1975 the group released their first self titled album "Outlaws".
They tour the local club scene until the spring of 1975 when Arista Records president Clive Davis signs them to their first record deal. Then in 1973, Billy Jones, joined the group and the Outlaws were complete. In 1972 the Outlaws were still just a small local 4 piece band that toured for about 8 months.
