The Wildes do Willie - Willie Nelson's 'Red Headed Stranger'
With Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes
@ The Archies Creek Hall

“Red Headed Stranger was The Sergeant Pepper’s of Country Music” Willie Nelson is many things to many people. To some he’s an anti-establishment outlaw, the hippie-redneck that personifies the proud and complicated State of Texas. To others, Willie is a musical genius - a genre-defying guitarist and singer who’s fusion of country and jazz is nothing short of virtuosic. Then of course there are those who’d argue Willie’s songwriting alone places him amongst the greatest of 20th century composers. But for Melbourne’s own Lachlan Bryan and his misfit cohort The Wildes, Willie Nelson is first and foremost a master storyteller. And that’s why they are presenting his landmark 1975 album Red Headed Stranger in full, retelling Willie’s own carefully curated songs of sin and redemption in all their understated glory - along with with some added classics from the Willie canon for good measure.
