Willie Nelson Instagram – For as long as Lana Nelson can remember, “Red Headed Stranger” was one of her favorite songs. When her dad got home each night, she’d beg him to play her to sleep with it on his guitar. And then, of course, some twenty years later, it became a song the whole world wanted to hear Willie Nelson to sing, when he grew it into a concept album that changed American music and made him a star.
In the latest episode of “One by Willie,” Lana stops by @texasmonthly and discusses the way her dad took a great old song, mixed it with the old cowboy movies he loved as a kid, and turned it into a classic album. Then she’ll walk us through some wonderful family history (as she is the unofficial family historian).
