Released in 1975, Red Headed Stranger was Willie Nelson’s breakthrough concept album and a cornerstone of outlaw country. Stripped-down and haunting, it tells the story of a preacher-turned-fugitive, with Willie’s voice and acoustic guitar carrying the weight. Columbia Records thought it was too bare, but it went on to sell millions and turned “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” into a No. 1 hit. It didn’t just make Willie a star—it changed country music.
