10 Perfect Country Music Albums With No Bad Songs
2. Red Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson
Considering how many times he's been mentioned on this very list already, it's only a matter of time before Willie actually showed up on here. Before being one of the biggest musicians alive and most prolific weed smokers in the music scene, Nelson had already made a name for himself as one of the most consistently great songwriters in the industry. When he decided to step out of the shadows to show his own pipes, we were treated to a master honing his craft.
Throughout the majority of Red Head Stranger, each one of these songs have the perfect pattern to them, despite some of them being criminally short. For new country fans, you'll feel like a lot of these songs are ending right as they're about to get going, but any longer version of a song like this would dampen its impact, with the title track giving you just the right amount of details that you need to know.
Nelson also prides himself on being an amazing interpreter of the classics, with covers of greats like Scotty Wiseman going over so well that you would have sworn that Willie wrote them himself with his trusty acoustic Trigger by his side. Whereas some albums like to put you in a certain mood, this is the equivalent of spending a half hour catching up with an old friend.
