Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger (Top 500 Countdown Update)
I think to fully appreciate this album you would have to go back to 1975. It's an unusual album that sounds nice, though it is a bit slow and has only one real single to it. So why was this album so successful for Willie Nelson. I'm sure I can't explain that one. It has a nice emotion to it that pulls you into the album, but there has to be something more to it that made it so hugely successful back in 1975. I do find it interesting that the Pulitzer Prize fiction work in 1975 was the Killer Angels. I could definitely see listening to this album while you sat back and read this book. All this just points to how fun it would be to teach a class on the Pulitzer Prize novel and pop culture.
