Lady in Waiting is the second studio album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1976. (See 1976 in music) The album is known for featuring a cover version of "Freeborn Man" (previously recorded by Keith Allison and Paul Revere & the Raiders), which the band popularized and which eventually became a concert favorite. Henry Paul provides lead vocals on the studio track, but Harvey Dalton Arnold, who would join the band for their next studio album, would handle the lead vocal after Paul's departure. It was eventually included on the 1978 live album Bring It Back Alive, with Arnold on vocals.
