Red Headed Stranger Is Classic Willie Nelson
The Red-Headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana, rode into town one day and said this is the best damn album I've ever heard and had the absolute pleasure of listening to. Story after story in song after song, makes you weary, scary and gray.
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
By far, every song on this album can stand alone, but together they are simply some of the most powerful played and sung lyrics that'll simply make you wonder about that raging black stallion and the babe.
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
The story picks up with the stranger and one of Willie's most famous pieces "Blue eyes crying in the rain" leading into Red-Headed Stranger the title track of the 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

Others by the great Willie Nelson
He did make more than one you know....
This classic icon of legendary fame, well you know he is, has put out so many albums over the years and still going, you can't really just pick 5. But if you had to, these would be my all-time top 5 Willie Nelson albums ever. This mans put out enough albums to call it a collection in and of itself.
Red-Headed Stranger
The Title Track
This song has one of the most classic lines in it that I've ever heard in a country song.....ever! "You can't hang a man for killin' a woman that's trying to steal his horse!", simply priceless. The horse that his little lost darling had ridden when she was his wife, who could blame him. Today I think that would be called probable cause or something of the sorts.
