"Outlaws & Outsiders" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country rock singer Cory Marks. Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch, Travis Tritt, and Mick Mars of Mötley Crüe are featured on the track. [1] The song was released in November 2019 through Better Noise Music [2] [3] and was sent to both country and rock radio formats [4] as the lead single off Marks’ album Who I Am. A solo version by Marks was included on the soundtrack for the film Sno Babies, [5] while both versions of the track were included on a CD-exclusive EP of the same name. [6]
Marks told David McPherson of SOCAN Magazine that "Outlaws & Outsiders" started "simply a cool title" for a cross-Canada tour he did with Aaron Pritchett in 2015. [7] Later that year, Marks co-wrote the track with Kevin Churko. [8] McPherson remarked that "Canadian country radio is where [Marks] would love to land, but like the song’s title, he’s an outlier. His sound isn’t poppy enough to fit the mainstream mold." Marks said "I feel like I’m a country artist, first and foremost, I want to give country radio something different for the fans and for the genre." [7]
Hendrik Pape of Sound Check Entertainment called the song a "powerhouse country/rock crossover" and "one of the greatest songs of 2019". [4] Front Porch Music referred to the song as a "heavy hit", [1] while Dave Brooks of Billboard called it "hard-charging" with "an arena anthem hook and a throwback sound mixing metal and southern rock with a countrified sound palate". [8] Billboard dubbed it the "hit that couldn't be confined". [8]
"Outlaws & Outsiders" debuted atop the Rock Digital and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts and at #7 on Country Digital Songs. [8] It later reached a peak of #10 on US Mainstream Rock, and #12 on Canada Rock radio. [9] It has been certified Platinum by Music Canada. [10] As of September 2023, the song had received over 60 million streams through Spotify. [11]
The official music video for the track was released in November 2019, and features Marks along with Moody, Tritt, and Mars each recording their parts. [12] A second video for the solo version was released in May 2020 in support of the song's appearance in the film "Sno Babies" and integrates footage from the film. [13]
