"Outlaw Man" is a song written by David Blue and recorded by the American rock band Eagles. The song was chosen by the Eagles for their second album Desperado as the song fits the theme of a Western outlaw gang of the album.[1] It is the second single released from Desperado after "Tequila Sunrise", and the eighth track on the album.[2]
Glenn Frey provides the lead vocals on this song, with the other members singing harmony on the chorus "Woman don't try to love me don't try to understand. The Life upon the road is a life of an Outlaw man."
Billboard said it had a "strong, Western flavored country rock sound...and polished vocal harmony."[3]Record World said that it "is a natural for both AM and FM airplay" and that it is "well produced by Glyn Johns."[4]
