Perhaps someone should make note that the tracks "Bach Minuet in G" to "Bonaparte's Retreat" are all bonus tracks, not present on the original. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This was also made into a movie by the same name, starring Willie Nelson, with the brunt of the album played as a soundtrack. Levid37

Crisp article. Good job.
The nominator requested I give a second opinion on the article. I'm looking it over now.

1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | The prose is excellent, and a pleasure to read. |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | Very good. |
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | The References section is good. |
![]() |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | Sourcing is excellent. Statements are verifiably backed up by the sources, and reliable sources were used (rather than blogs or self-published books). I detected no plagiarism. |
![]() |
2c. it contains no original research. | Avoided due to excellent sourcing. |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
![]() |
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | Very good. |
![]() |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | No problems. |
![]() |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | The selection of reviews helps this adhere to NPOV. |
![]() |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | No problems |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
![]() |
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | The image is appropriate. The 3 samples are more that I would use, but are not outside of policy. |
![]() |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | Captions on samples are very good. |
![]() |
7. Overall assessment. | Congratulations! |
Excellent. This article passes all criteria, and is a fine example of what an album article should be. – Quadell ( talk) 22:06, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
A reader points out (via OTRS) this site: http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biographies/willie-nelson.html
Which notes: The song 'Red-Headed Stranger' (1945) had been an old hit for Fred Rose, and Nelson had used it as part of a children's radio hour back in his days on the road. From there he put together the album and handed over a completed version to the record company. The rough-cut, sparse acoustical album sounded more like a demo than the final product. But with the final artistic decision in his hands Nelson was determined to release it in this form. The album, simplistic and honest, was a huge success putting Nelson and country music into the mainstream view.
The current article mentions that there was an earlier song, but just barely. Anyone interested in expanding the history of the song?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 20:58, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
