Description

Red Headed Stranger is Willie Nelson’s breakthrough concept album — a sparse, cinematic tale of love, betrayal, and redemption that redefined country music’s boundaries. This 2019 reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a replica single sleeve, and remastered from the original analogue tapes. Though minimalist in arrangement, the album’s emotional depth and narrative cohesion have earned it enduring acclaim.

Produced by Willie Nelson himself and recorded at Autumn Sound Studios in Garland, Texas, the album features Nelson’s signature phrasing and storytelling, backed by his Family band: Paul English, Bee Spears, Bobbie Nelson, and Jody Payne. With standout tracks like “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain,” “Time Of The Preacher,” and the title track “Red Headed Stranger,” the album became a commercial and critical triumph — earning multi-platinum status, topping country charts, and inspiring a feature film starring Nelson.
