Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson fought hard against the mainstream to get this album released on his own terms. He wanted it to go as it isSimple, sharply focused, absolutely pure, and a gigantic departure from the Nashville ideal of highly-produced, radio-friendly crossover-ready faux-country. Then, as now, an artist had to fight for what he believed. Fortunately, instead of washing out and going back to Texas, Willie prevailed, and produced one of the finest albums ever made in country music. 01 - Time Of The Preacher 02 - I Couldn't Believe It Was True 03 - Time Of The Preacher Theme 04 - Medley: Blue Rock Montana/Red Headed Stranger 05 - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain 06 - Red Headed Stranger 07 - Time Of The Preacher Theme 08 - Just As I Am 09 - Denver 10 - O'er The Waves 11 - Down Yonder 12 - Can I Sleep In Your Arms 13 - Remember Me (When The Candle Lights Are Gleaming) 14 - Hands On The Wheel 15 - Bandera 16 - Bach Minuet In G 17 - I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) 18 - A Maiden's Prayer 19 - Bonaparte's Retreat * Willie Nelson – Vocals, guitar * Paul English – drums * Jody Payne – guitars, mandolin * Bee Spears – bass * Bobbie Nelson – piano * Mickey Raphael – harmonica * Bucky Meadows – guitar * Billy English – drums http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S2LYSV4Q
