Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson
Red Headed Stranger

In 1970, Willie Nelson's Nashville house burned to the ground, and he decided he'd had enough of the land of the Grand Ole Opry. He hied himself back to his native Texas and set up shop in Austin at a club called Armadillo World Headquarters. Red Headed Stranger, released several years later, was the product of a new country scene -- equal parts redneck and hippie -- that Nelson catalyzed.

A spare song cycle that tells of a preacher who returns to his home to find that his wife has jilted him, Stranger established Nelson's outlaw persona and put some guts back into country music. Rather than gussy up his desolate tales with countrypolitan clichÃ©s, Nelson set his resonant, reedy

voice in the foreground over simple acoustic guitar and minimal rhythm-section arrangements. Listen to Nelson's quavering tenor hug the melancholy melody of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" and you know you're in the presence of a master; not since the early records of Ernest Tubb had a country voice sounded so naked.

It is no wonder Miles Davis considered Nelson one of the great American singers; while he was schooled in country, his supple phrasing and honest emotion recall the limpid stylings of the great jazz improvisers. Like Billie Holiday, Nelson toys delicately with time, hanging back behind the beat to tease out every rhythmic nuance lurking in a melody, as he does so gracefully here on Eddy Arnold's "I Couldn't Believe It Was True." And when Willie isn't singing, his crack band swings mightily on "Down Yonder," a rollicking instrumental number that sounds like the music of a prairie barroom circa 1920.

Made for just $20,000, Red Headed Stranger sold more than 2 million copies. It established Willie Nelson as an iconic figure; he would never be a stranger again in the world of American vernacular music. (RS 844/845)
