Hughie Thomasson (R.I.P.)

Many people can sing and write songs, but there are very few who inspire and leave behind a legacy. Hughie Thomasson did just that. Starting The Outlaws in 1972, he went on to create a band that would go on for more than 30 years. In 1995, he then joined another legendary band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and played with them for almost ten years before leaving to again reform The Outlaws in 2005. They played many successful shows until sadly, just on September 9th, 2007, Hughie passed away of an apparent heart attack at his home in Florida.
