red headed stranger
简介
老牛仔Willie Nelson在乡村音乐界可是个响当当的人物，在70年代中叶，所谓Nashville Sound成为乡村音乐的标准，Willie认为这种标准束缚了乡村音乐的发展，大家都做一样的东西没有意思，于是他就融合了西部摇滚、爵士、民谣和乡村音乐，创建了所谓Outlaw Country的风格（直译是“不合法的乡村”，明显是跟原有规范叫板，汗一个）。这张专辑就是这种风格的典型代表。 本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第184位。 Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger perhaps is the strangest blockbuster country produced, a concept album about a preacher on the run after murdering his departed wife and her new lover, told entirely with brief song-poems and utterly minimal backing. It's defiantly anticommercial and it demands intense concentration -- all reasons why nobody thought it would be a hit, a story related in Chet Flippo's liner notes to the 2000 reissue. It was a phenomenal blockbuster, though, selling millions of copies, establishing Nelson as a superstar recording artist in its own right. For all its success, it still remains a prickly, difficult album, though, making the interspersed concept of Phases and Stages sound shiny in comparison. It's difficult because it's old-fashioned, sounding like a tale told around a cowboy campfire. Now, this all reads well on paper, and there's much to admire in Nelson's intimate gamble, but it's really elusive, as the themes get a little muddled and the tunes themselves are a bit bare. It's undoubtedly distinctive -- and it sounds more distinctive with each passing year -- but it's strictly an intellectual triumph and, after a pair of albums that were musically and intellectually sound, it's a bit of a letdown, no matter how successful it was.
