"Despite his surname, Sam Outlaw owes less to the "outlaw country" progenitors encountered in Heartworn Highways than California cowboys such as Poco and The Eagles, artistic origins admitted in his debut album's title. He's helped by the sleek production of Ry and Joachim Cooder, the former lacing delicious guitar lines through Outlaw's songs while his son adds subtly illustrative percussive flourishes".

"Angeleno, the triumphant debut from Los Angeles-based Sam Outlaw, is perhaps the best example of this old sound we've had in 40 years. A remarkable collection of laid back So-Cal country tunes, this record is perfectly calibrated to please fans of Outlaw's forebears. Think of it as Sam, The Wolf King of L.A. Throughout, co-producers Ry Cooder and son Joachim (who both pull duty on lead guitar and drums, respectively) allow Outlaw's warm, thin voice to float dreamily above tightly constructed campfire folk and blue-eyed mariachi arrangements".
