Paris July maggie's farm by john edmiston Don't cross him, don't boss him He's wild in his sorrow Ridin' and hiclin' his Willie Nelson and His Family have released, what will probably be a Texas progressive country albums classic "Red Headed Stranger," on Columbia. Produced by Bob Johnston, who has produced the likes of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, the album is one long Red Headed of the Preacher," a western ballad about a man who's woman has done him wrong, so he shoots her and drifts around aimlessly with only her memory. The songs project a sad, south Texas outlaw feeling, of drifters and wayward women, of simple times in an 1870s Austin tavern. Willie's liquor- smooth voice lilts through the tragedy, projecting both a melancholy and a foreboding about the preacher-man who'd been wronged. Don't fight him, don't spite him Just wait til tomorrow And maybe he'll ride on again I have three favorite songs on the album besides the title fast-paced "I Couldn't Believe It was True," by Eddy Arnold and Wallace Fowler, another my woman has left me and I'm alone and blue song; Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," a tearful ballad about a couple saying goodbye; and "Hank Cochran's "Can I Sleep in Your Arms," about the loneliness after an affair has ended, and you're reaching for a stranger.

Can I sleep in your arms tonight, lady? It's so cold lying here all alone And I have no hold to hold on you And I assure you I'll do you no 1973 Tree Publishing Co. Willie's definitely a charmer. He can make you happy as he does in his "Shotgun Willie" album on Atlantic and he can make you sad and reflective. That's just as he is. Willie's preacher is a tragic, dark foreboding figure.

by his own guilt and remorse after shooting the woman he loved. Later, he thoughtlessly kills a cheap fortune-hunter, who grabs at his dead wife's horse. You just don't mess with this man, not his woman and surely hot his memories. That's all he's got left. The yellow-haired lady was buried at sunset The stranger went free, of course You can't hang a man for killin'a woman Who's tryin' to steal his horse.

Just plain old West code-of-the-gun justice. And (I) knew we'd never meet again. "Red-Headed Stranger," if nothing else, will bring to the forefront as one of the nation's top country-western recording artists. And that's where he belongs.

In "The Painted Word," social commentator Tom Wolfe takes a long look at the world of Modern Art and he does not like what he sees. Displaying once again the dazzling word-work that made earlier books such as "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby" a reading experience, Wolfe entertainingly reveals how it came to him that "Modern Art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text." Or, the text is created by certain influential critics and the artists then create their paintings as dictated by the theory. This, according to Wolfe, resulted in such schools of art as Abstract Expressionism which "was an abstraction of an abstraction, a blueprint of the blueprint, a diagram of the diagram and a diagram of a diagram is metaphysics," and the Minimalists who "began using colors like Tool Die Works red and Subway I-Beam green and Restaurant Exhaust-Fan Duct Lint gray that nobody could accuse of sentimentality. As he slashes his irreverent way through the Modern Art world, Wolfe dazzles with his often flamboyant prose but not enough to blind the reader to his highly personal view of that subculture. Phil Thomas AP Books Editor GENE HACKMAN, Candice Bergen, James Coburn, Ben Johnson and Jan-Michael Vincent star in this wild western.
