Renegade
Renegade is R.J. Sloane's hard-driving outlaw country album built for the man who stopped running and started standing his ground.
This is the fight-back side of R.J. Louder, faster, more aggressive than his acoustic outlaw gospel albums — electric-driven, 130 BPM, distorted guitar and driving drums. The spiritual warfare is still there, but the volume is up and the edge is sharper. Watch Out. Dead Men Don't Win. Cheating the Grave.
Watch Out is a high-octane outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about living in constant vigilance — always scanning, always ready, always one step ahead of the shadow closing in.
You can't outrun the past. It tracks you across state lines, through ghost towns, under every new name. When the only one watching your back is the One who never looks away, you turn and fight.
Track 2 — Dead Men Don't Win
Dead Men Don't Win is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about a man facing down a brother turned traitor in a gunfight neither of them can walk away from.
He trusted this man with his life. Rode into fire together. Called him brother. Now the badge is tarnished, the bodies are in the ground, and there's only one road left. The grief of a man who already knows how this ends and has to be the one to end it.
Inspired by Shane Harper and Kendall Bowden in The Traitor's Badge.
Track 3 — Cheating the Grave
Cheating the Grave is a hard-driving outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the moment the hunted becomes the hunter.
The darkness circles and whispers the one word it knows will wound — quit. This is the song for everyone who has ever been stripped to bones and charged anyway.
Track 4 — Outlaw's Shadow
Outlaw's Shadow is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about four siblings who grew up in the shadow of an outlaw father and chose to aim that anger at evil instead of carrying it as poison.
True justice isn't vengeance. It's taking everything that broke you and honing it into something that protects the people who can't protect themselves. These four knew what evil costs before they knew anything else. That's what made them dangerous — and that's what made them righteous.
Track 5 — Legend
Legend is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane for the man who's been called a hero but knows the true weight of that word.
Everyone else sees the legend. He only sees his failures and his shame. The gap between the man they see and the man you know yourself to be — every failure, every moment you almost broke.
