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.
Track 1 — Watch Out
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.
Track 6 — Justice Lies
Justice Lies is a hard-driving outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the burning fury of watching the corrupt prosper while honest men pay the price.
They smile for the cameras and rake in millions while the rest of us grind for scraps they toss on the ground.
Track 7 — Noonday Justice
Noonday Justice is a hard-driving outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the choice to stop watching the wicked prosper and trust that the reckoning is already coming.
The corrupt man looks permanent—big spread, long shadow, untouchable. But empires burn. Smoke fades.
Track 8 — Parley at Sundown
Parley at Sundown is an outlaw country duet by R.J. Sloane about two strangers forging an alliance at the edge of a fight neither expects to survive.
One makes the ask; the other answers—wary, clear-eyed, and done pretending the odds are good.
Track 9 — Dead Aim
Dead Aim is a high-energy outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the one clean breath before everything explodes and a man has to trust his aim is true.
Heart pounding, hands finally still—everything riding on a single moment.
Track 10 — Renegade
Renegade is a high-octane outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about a lawman who runs down his man with no mercy and no apology.
Every man on the run learns the same lesson eventually—the road always leads back to the one hunting him.
Track 11 — Cross Draw
Cross Draw is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about walking away from a fight that should have killed him and finding he's still whole on the other side.
He's been through the fire and knows exactly what he survived.
Track 12 — Renegade's Wail (Instrumental)
Renegade's Wail is an outlaw country instrumental by R.J. Sloane—a dobro and harmonica war at 130 BPM that nobody wins.
Something snapped out on that trail, and this is what it sounds like.
