Red Headed Stranger is a concept album built around an old murder ballad Nelson remembered from his days as a radio disc jockey in Fort Worth and he interwove this dark story with carefully chosen country standards and original material. It sounds like a story told around a campfire, yet it feels timeless, even modern, in its emotional intelligence. It asks for attention and patience, and it rewards both with something rare: a record that feels intimate and epic at the same time.
