Island Red

"Island Red" written and recorded by Rickey Gene Wright and released as a single between the 1st and 2nd album. This is a story song that has a mysterious angle. Was she (Island Red) a hooker or a madam of a brothel or just a murderer or both. Did she murdered the rich business man who brought her over from Europe (Germany) and stole his money as he is never mentioned again in the song. Either way she was a beautifl womwn and everyone stopped to watch her as she walked by.
