Red Headed Stranger
“In 1975, Willie Nelson changed the rules of country music. His lonesome, noir concept album about a wayward preacher was a big and beautiful dream made real by simple and spare music.”
Stardust
“It's difficult to fathom today, but Stardust-- a collection of standards-- was a risky left turn for an artist of Willie Nelson's power and magnitude. Now the record is reissued with a set of other Nelson covers from throughout his career.”
One Hell Of A Ride
“Taking in the full half-century breadth of the country legend's career, this 4xCD, 100-track set reminds us why you just don't say no to the red-headed stranger.”
