Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson

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.
