Hazel Smith
[edit]- ... that Hazel Smith is credited with coining the term "outlaw country"? "In 1973, while working as a publicist for the vocal group Tompall and the Glaser Brothers, Ms. Smith received a query from a radio station about what to call the rugged, rock-influenced country music then being made by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, the Glasers and others. Her response, inspired by the title of Mr. Jennings’s recent hit single, “Ladies Love Outlaws,” was “outlaw music.” The phrase gained traction, and by 1976 — the year RCA released the million-selling album “Wanted! The Outlaws,” featuring Mr. Jennings, Mr. Nelson and others — a movement was born." [1]; others at [2] and [3]
- ALT1:... that Hazel Smith is credited with coining the term "outlaw country", which is used to describe a genre of musicians including Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings? (Same quote/sources as above: [4],[5], [6])

I hate country music but even I found the hook, and linked article, interesting. Beyond that: no copyvio, NPOV, appropriate length and newness, QPQ done, and no image. The hook is inline cited to a RS {New York Times) Looks great! Chetsford (talk) 11:05, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but was wondering if you could fine-tune the hook. Would this be accurate:- ALT2: ... that Hazel Smith coined the term "outlaw country" to describe the music of performers like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings? Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Yep, that's accurate. GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
