For ten years, Willie Nelson did everything Nashville asked. Wrote hits.
Watched other people get famous singing his songs. Played the game.
Then his house burned down — and instead of rebuilding, he drove to Austin, grew his hair out, and recorded Red Headed Stranger for $20,000.
The label thought it was a demo. It became one of the greatest country albums ever made.
