Jason Isbell performs “Pancho and Lefty” • for ‘OUTLAWS AND ARMADILLOS’

Jason Isbell performs “Pancho and Lefty” at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum during the opening concert in 2018 for the major exhibition “Outlaws & Armadillos: Country’s Roaring '70s.” One of Willie Nelson’s many hits, “Pancho and Lefty” was written by Texas songwriter Townes Van Zandt.

The Outlaw phenomenon increased country music’s audience in the 1970s, led by pacesetters such as Nelson, Van Zandt, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, Bobby Bare, and many others—a time defined by artists in Nashville and Austin demanding creative freedom to make their own music. In this series, we mark memorable performances from the museum’s opening concert. The exhibition closes June 7.
