The Red-Headed Stranger had written the song while living in southeast Texas and it would go on to become a country classic
illie Nelson drove into Houston from the Pacific Northwest in 1958 with big dreams, dubious prospects and a growing family. Having worked in radio in Vancouver, Wash., he found radio work here and a gig singing at the Esquire Ballroom. He also inked a contract with Pappy Daily’s D Records that didn’t yield much in the way of memorable music. With a handful of soon-to-be classic songs few had actually heard, he made the inevitable move to Nashville.
Cochran had a job at Price’s publishing company, Pamper Music. Price had recently doubled Cochran’s salary to $100 per week. Cochran believed in Nelson enough to kick his pay increase over to his new friend with the nasal voice and peculiar phrasing. Price would later score a hit with “Night Life,” which Nelson had written a few years earlier about his commute from his home in Pasadena to his gig at the Esquire. Price also hired Nelson to play bass in his Cherokee Cowboys.
