Description

Preserved 1975 framed LP 33 and album jacket in Mint Condition.

Red Headed Stranger is a 1975 album by American outlaw country singer Willie Nelson. A concept album, Red Headed Stranger is about a fugitive preacher, 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. In 2003, the same year the album was ranked #184 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, Nelson sang background vocals and added some guitar to a cover version of the album done by Carla Bozulich of the alt-country band, the Geraldine Fibbers. 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.The lyrics to "Time of the Preacher" were used to help open the graphic Novel Preacher.
