SE 3, EP 28: Kris Kristofferson - Kristofferson

Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode, we discuss the debut album by Kris Kristofferson 1970's Kristofferson. A man of many talents, Kris Kristofferson is a scholar,  an athlete, a pilot, an actor, a performer, and most importantly, one of country music's most beloved (and most successful) songwriters.  On par with Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, and John Prine, he has penned some of country music's most endearing songs.  Many of the songs on this album have been covered before and since this album was made, some arguably performed by better singers. But Kristofferson voice has character that imbues these songs with an earnestness that makes for compelling listening.Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.
