Sam Outlaw - Friends Don't Let Friends Drink (And Fall In Love)

Wow, what an amazing song and a great video too! Sam Outlaw is previously unknown to me, but what I can tell you is that he's a Los Angeles-based country singer/songwriter with a huge debt to classic singers in the genre such as Don Williams, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and their like. The brilliantly titled "Friends Don't Let Friends Drink (And Fall In Love)" is in every way a "good ol'" country song, lifted from a new EP simply called Sam Outlaw. His proper debut album was released last year, called Nobody Loves. The video featuring five kids dressing up as a band and performing "Friends Don't Let..." for their toy animals is incredibly cute. So please welcome Sam Outlaw, ladies and gentlemen!
