Time of the Preacher, by Willie Nelson.
This song is the third in this project from the Red Headed Stranger album, in honor of the new Sturgill Simpson concept album (I mean, it’s only like 27 minutes long) that I listened to 10 times today, maybe? The Sturgill record pays so much homage to Willie that Mr. Nelson shows up to take a solo on the first single, but the storytelling (man, woman, bandit, horse, dog, epilogue) is straight out of the Willie book, which itself is an old Western.
