New York, NY (Top40 Charts) There are plenty of songs about outlaws famous for their daring crimes. American songwriter/storyteller Rusty Gear has just released Bad Outlaw (Bluegrass Remix), a song about Bill Miner, a famously unsuccessful outlaw who roamed the Pacific Northwest at the turn of the century. The song is a humorous telling of the true story of Bill Miner's failed robberies and escapes from the law as the "gentleman bandit" who "always wore a gun, he waved it around but never shot at anyone." He may have coined the phrase " Hands Up", but "when it came to being an outlaw, Bill Miner was no good". Produced by Brad Hill in Nashville, the fast paced bluegrass tune features exceptional musicianship by Nashville pros Carl Miner (no relation) on guitar, Scotty Sanders on Dobro, Lee Francis on bass and Tim Galloway on banjo. The song has been a favorite at Rusty's live performances and is sure to please. It is part of a six song EP Something in the Water now available on all streaming platforms.
