The Red-Headed Stranger rides again. Back in January, Willie Nelson, his braids flying, rolled his big airbrushed tour bus down Tremont Street and proceeded to rustle the Orpheum crowd into his hands with his own burnished chestnuts plus dignified, countrified renditions of firmament-themed standards by Irving Berlin ("Blue Skies"), Hoagy Carmichael ("Stardust") and, uh, Kermit the Frog ("Rainbow Connection"). Now, after almost a year of rolling across this great land of ours, the indefatigable 69-year-old is back to do it again. He'll be at the Orpheum on Tuesday (617-931-2000) before heading back to the Wild West -- namely, Northampton -- for a show Wednesday at the Calvin Theatre (413-586-8686).
