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.

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.

$14.69  
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 the vanguard of "Outlaw Country." After releasing a number of definitive solo albums in the preceding few years, Jennings and Nelson collaborated on one of the most popular albums of the genre, 1976's WANTED! THE OUTLAWS. Aided by Waylon's wife Jessi Colter and pal Tompall Glaser (of the Glaser Brothers), they crafted ...
