Willie Nelson Haircut : Nelson Makes His First Hit

In the year of 1973, Willie Nelson signed with Atlantic Records, where he also released a new album called 'Shotgun Willie'. This album got really good reviews allover the place, but it did not sell very well at all. The year to come, he released many new albums. After this he moved to Columbia Records, where they gave him 100% control over his own work. And as always, Nelson delivered quality work which in this case resulted in the album 'Red Headed Stranger' which released in late 1975. This very album became a huge hit, this had many reasons but it did include some cover songs of very popular songs. Nelsons first hit as a singer was 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain'. Maybe this is why Willie Nelson Haircut is so popular?

Another big star that was also having success in the country music scene back in those days was Waylon Jennings, and these two guys were soon combined together in a totally new genre called 'outlaw country'. Nelson stayed at the top of most charts after this, with all his songs raging on top in the late 1970s.

The year was now 1978, and Nelson came up with 2 more big albums, these albums had heaps of good tracks on them. The albums were produced by Booker T. Jones. Some people said that these albums would most likely ruin his career, but then again Nelson proved everyone wrong.
