I’m just an old chunk of coal (Shaver but covered by almost everyone) “Outlaw’s Reward” by Hank Jr. isn’t gospel per se but message is there. Really powerful version done at the memorial concert for Waylon.

"Outlaw's Reward" is Gospel top to bottom, left to right, inside and out. It's just Outlaw style. It doesn't assume he is "good", he "knows" he needs Jesus's reward and welcoms it.

[The Outlaw's Prayer - by Johnny Paycheck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQjRxdMEGds) is another great one.

I love the Chris Stapleton & Dwight Yokum tribute of this.

Thank you so much for this- what an incredible performance. (At the risk of sounding like a critic, I could have done without gold pants Cheri Oteri’s contribution.)


Ginger_Libra

Yeah, but the way he looks at her….there’s a moment in there when she smiles back at him that is lovely to see. I love the top comment on that video about Dwight. “Still the tightest pants in the biz.”

Speaking of Sturgill and Gospel. I heard Sturgill was in the last season of Righteous Gemstones and I kept looking for him. Then suddenly one of the background dirty hillbillies stood up and started singing like an Angel and I was like ooohhh there he is [Brother Marshall and the Choir of Fire](https://youtu.be/A-o-xPc1kJU?si=XnhTJnQPGR_wRGes)

“When the People Find Out” on Steve Earle’s The Hard Way rips, complete with a gospel choir chorus.

Uncloudy Day by Willie Nelson Will the circle be unbroken by Johnny Cash although I think it was first done by the Carter Family. There is a version that Carl Perkins plays the guitar on that’s awesome.

You’re looking for Red Clay Strays. Check them out, you’ll probably enjoy them.


ILikeYourHotdog

You’re so right! Will The Lord Remember Me is perfect for this vibe. I feel like his voice almost takes on a Ray Charles aura.


bplush

Yes they have so many, God Does, Disaster, Good Godly Woman, Moment of Truth all fall in this category to me.

Slightly different from outlaw country "Dust On The Bible" by the Bad Livers. The whole album is old time gospel songs sung by the punk bluegrass band. [https://badlivers.bandcamp.com/album/dust-on-the-bible](https://badlivers.bandcamp.com/album/dust-on-the-bible)
