Country outlaw Jerry Jeff Walker dies aged 78

Outlaw country singer/songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker has died aged 78, NPR reports. He started playing on the early-'60s Greenwich Village folk scene, before moving to Austin in 1971 where he began performing in the city's thriving "outlaw" country scene that included Waylon Jennings, Guy Clark, Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt. “People said, ‘We’re different, but we’re not hillbilly country’. We didn’t blacken our teeth and wear baggy pants, we just liked cowboys and played like that” - Walker said about his music.
