WILLIE NELSON-RED HEADED STRANGER 1975 COLUMBIA RECORDS LP KC 33482 IN A STRONG VG+ CONDITION. MOSTLY CLEAN VINYL!! One of the best country albums you may ever hear(or have already heard) in this auction. Many a critic will tell you that this is Willie's finest hour and it truly is hard to argue. A classic in every respect. I thought that Wikipedia summed it up best so I will use their synopsis:
A concept album, Red Headed Stranger is about a fugitive on the run from the law after killing his wife and her lover. The content consists of songs with brief poetic lyrics and arrangements of older material such as Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", Wolfe Gilbert's "Down Yonder" and Juventino Rosas' "O'er the Waves". Despite Columbia's doubts and the limited instrumentation, Red Headed Stranger was a blockbuster among country music and mainstream audiences. It was certified multi-platinum, and made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. The cover of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", released as a single previous to the album full release became Nelson's first number one hit. The title of the album would become a lasting nickname for Nelson. It was ranked #183 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[1] and number one on CMT's 40 Greatest Albums in Country Music. In 2010 it was inducted to the National Recording Registry.
The record is in an easy VG+ condition with just a light scuff on the song Just As I Am that definitely does not hamper play at all, plays well throughout. The cover still in shrink wrap and the original lyric inner sleeve are both in excellent shape. A terrific buy!!
$3 freight. US sales only!!
