Since the release of his 2015 debut, Angeleno, Outlaw remains one of LA's only modern country singers to earn international acclaim. With his follow-up, Tenderheart, he shows an impressive refinement of his artistic identity. Sonically, the album further elaborates Outlaw's SoCal Country sound: a sun-bleached, Baja-influenced twang that deftly points to country's neo-traditionalists and LA's legendary singer-songwriters.
