Red Headed Stranger Is Classic Willie Nelson
If there is one album that should be an essential piece of any serious collection, this is the one, it'll make you cry and make you smile all at once.
Top 5 best songs on Red Headed Stranger
The best album ever by Willie Nelson
Starting the story off with "The Time of the Preacher" and seeing just how painful it can be having a loved one depart from you. Leading you right into an upbeat little number of whimsical fate where "I couldn't believe it was true" type state of mind, where you're going insane cause nobody's there to answer your calls. Very nice twist on a sad situation. Only to lead to the serious realization when the pain sets in, unable to forgive and only able to ride, now the lessons are over and the killings begun with a return to the "Time of the Preacher Theme" encore. Simply genius. You find the red headed stranger thinking back after a hard day and remembering what has happened sitting in that lonely hotel in "Blue Rock Montana".
The single best album
Don't get me wrong, there's tons more on this great little piece of country history. From the likes of "Can I Sleep In Your Arms Tonight" to "Hands on the Wheel". This ones a Country classic and what makes Willie, well, Willie. There's not another artist out there or ever will be that can match this man's contribution with Red-Headed Stranger

If you simply need to know more, if not then get it, grab a cold one and let the harmonic melodies take you away and bring you back to a simpler time when music was music and didn't need to be blared through the speakers and screamed at you. You'll be humming and singing along in no-time flat!
Red Headed Stranger is a 1975 album by American outlaw country singer Willie Nelson. A concept album, Red Headed Stranger is about a fugitive on the run from the law after killing his wife. Sparse and jumbled, with brief, poetic lyrics, no one involved in the creation of the album thought it would sell well. In spite of its inaccessibility, Red Headed Stranger was a blockbuster among both country music and mainstream audiences, going multiplatinum and making Nelson one of the biggest stars in country. The album's title would become a lasting nickname for Nelson. The album was ranked #184 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6599231/184_red_headed_stranger] It was ranked #1 on CMT's 40 Greatest Albums in Country Music in 2006.
The first track, "Time of the Preacher", was memorably used in the 1985 television drama Edge of Darkness.
In 1986 William D. Wittliff wrote and directed a film of the same title, starring Willie Nelson and Morgan Fairchild.[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091834/] The film was based on the album.
The lyrics to "Time of the Preacher" were used to help open the graphic novel Preacher.
