Red Headed Stranger
Saddle up, and let Willie Nelson take you on a mellow 33-minute trot through the Old West. Before this sparkling concept album Nelson had been known primarily as a songwriter, having penned hits such as "Night Life," "Crazy," and "Hello Walls." On this 1975 record, he creates a lonely and plaintive mood with an almost childlike lullaby quality. "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" thrust him into the spotlight, but ballads such as "Time of the Preacher" and "Can I Sleep in Your Arms" also receive sensitive treatments . Borrowing from turn-of-the-century cowboy music, Nelson guides a 15-song journey that includes some lively instrumental stops, but mostly wanders quietly through the sage. --Marc Greilsamer more

- Loved the movie as well
I like this CD because it is Willie and it follows the movie as well. If you have not seen the movie, watch it. If you don't have the CD, buy it! You will not be disappointed.

- Vintage tale spinning Nelson
First, I find it odd to be invited to review the CD since I bought it for a friend and delivered it to the friend within two days of receipt. But there are some Nelson singles that are among the top music ever made, in my opinion,...

- Its alright, depends on what you're expecting
Not one of my favorites but still an important work for Willie Nelson fans. It is not a flashy studio recording - many of the tracks seem hardly more than Willie and his guitar. Oddly enough, I think I the bonus tracks are the best...
