Although the artwork ties in with the 1987 movie of the same name, this is the original classic Willie Nelson album from 1975.

Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).

Willie Nelson stopped shaving, grew his hair, ditched his suits and found acceptance with the hippies who bought the country rock of the Flying Burrito Brothers. Like TOMMY, RED HEADED STRANGER was a concept album, this time about a murderous preacher. His laid-back voice-and-guitar revival of "Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain" was a surprise US hit single, and Richard Thompson says, "I like the fact that he plays these terrible solos and leaves them alone, which takes a lot of guts these days."

This is part of Legacy's American Milestones series.

Additional Tracks

Recorded at Autumn Sound Studios, Garland, Texas. Includes liner notes by Chet Flippo.

Personnel: Willie Nelson (vocals, guitar); Jody Payne (guitar, mandolin); Bucky Meadows (guitar); Mickey Raphael (harmonica); Bobbie Nelson (piano); Bee Spears (bass); Paul English, Billy English (drums).

Reissue producer: Al Quaglieri.Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.136) - Ranked #184 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time"

My mom bought this in the late seventies for the single, "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain", and stumbled across a great album. It's a concept album, telling a story of a cowboy running from his tragic past, and the adventures he gets into. The theme is sad, but this is not a depressing album. Willie's voice is graceful throughout, especially sweet in track 12,"Can I sleep In Your Arms Tonight Liz?" Recorded in 1975 for $20K of Willie's own money, this one is a gem.

The 1996 reissue of WANTED! THE OUTLAWS includes nine additional tracks from the original sessions and one new song ("Nowhere Road"). Digitally remastered by Benny Quinn (Masterfonics, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee). In the mid-1970s, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and a few other cohorts turned the Nashville country establishment on its ear, introducing a gritty, rock & roll feel and iconoclastic, rebellious sensibility to the staid institution country music had become. The breath of fresh air that they were, they became hugely popular, and were justly hailed as ...

Includes liner notes by Mickey Raphael, Booker T. Jones and Willie Nelson. Digitally remastered by Chris Athens (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). 15 years before Tony Bennett made the Great American Songbook safe for the MTV generation, there was Willie Nelson's STARDUST, one of the greatest "crossover" albums in history. The concept was simple: Willie singing a select group of familiar standards by composers such as Carmichael, Berlin, Weill, Ellington, the Gershwins, all in his familiar and inimitable style. Yet the result is not a quite a country treatment of these tunes. For one thing, the great R&B organist Booker T. Jones produced the session in addition to performing with Nelson's superb band featuring the estimable Mickey Raphael on harmonica. One of the enduring pleasures of STARDUST is the ...
