Kristofferson

$6.99

KRISTOFFERSON is a remastered version of ME & BOBBY MCGEE that contains four bonus tracks. Producer: Fred Foster. Reissue producers: Al Quaglieri, Nick Shaffran. Originally released in 1970 as KRISTOFFERSON on Monument (18139) and in 1971 as ME & BOBBY MCGEE on Columbia (30817). Includes liner notes by Johnny Cash, Billy Swan, and Al Cooley. Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sony Studios, New York, New York).Kris Kristofferson's remarkable 1970 debut has one foot in the world of the longhaired rock & roll outlaw and the other firmly entrenched in the country story-song tradition. Alternating between a buttery, off-center croon and a hickory-smoked morning-after rasp, Kristofferson spins evocative tales of drunks, lonely hearts, and misfits, with nimble guitar work and an overwhelmingly literary attention to detail. The leadoff track, "Blame It on the Stones," is a woozy cousin to Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," sarcastically placing the blame for several societal ills on Mick Jagger and company. This distrust of non-traditional values is also lampooned in "The Law Is for Protection of the People," in which cops are urged to do whatever is necessary to keep hippies from "scaring decent folks like you and me." The heart of the record, however, is a quartet of unforgettable classics-"Me and Bobby McGee" (a posthumous hit for Janis Joplin in '71), "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" (a chart success for Johnny Cash), and the ballads "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and "For the Good Times" (both covered by numerous artists, country and otherwise). With this release, Kristofferson established himself as a songwriter of the first degree, equally accessible to rockers, folkies, and the Nashville establishment.

Best Of Kris Kristofferson

$9.99

This Sony U.K. single-disc comp captures the best of Kris Kristofferson's recordings for the Columbia label better than its American or Canadian counterparts. While it goes into far more detail than the single-disc collection that has long been the standard on CD in the United States, it doesn't get bogged down in the filler that exists on the Essential Kris Kristofferson double-disc set either, happy to walk a far more potent and widely brushed line between them. Virtually none of the handful of huge hits is missing, and many of the lesser ones, such as "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33," the lovely duet with then-wife Rita Coolidge on "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends," and another with Dolly Parton on "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," are included. This set also walks a midline price point between the single and double-disc American versions, and virtually every one of its 23 tracks scores big. ~ Thom Jurek

Music from "Songwriter"

$12.99

Full performer name: Willie Nelson/Kris Kristofferson. Willie Nelson was making so many records in the mid-'80s that it was easy for one to get lost in the shuffle, and that's what happened to this album. Tri-Star, the company that distributed Nelson's film Songwriter, gave it very little promotion, even though it was a good movie that contained one of the singer/actor's finest screen performances. He played Doc Jenkins, a country singer/songwriter who signs an onerous record deal and then finds a way out of it by enlisting the help of his friend Blackie Buck, played by Kris Kristofferson. Music filled the movie, much of it written and performed by the principals, and rather than release a soundtrack album, Columbia Records issued Music from "Songwriter", an album billed to Nelson and Kristofferson. Each side of the LP began with a duet by the two performers, with the rest of side one given over to Nelson tracks and the rest of side two to Kristofferson tracks. The opening duet, "How Do You Feel About Foolin' Around," became a country singles chart entry, but the best material was Nelson's, including the title song and the caustic "Write Your Own Songs," addressed to "Mr. Music Executive" and "Mr. Purified Country," and sung in the character of Doc Jenkins, though it no doubt expressed the feelings of Nelson as well. Kristofferson hadn't made a solo album in four years, and his four solo tracks found him concerned with topical issues having to do with illegal immigration ("Crossing the Border") and war ("Under the Gun"). Such songs had little to do with the movie, but a lot to do with the singer/songwriter's own current concerns, and he delivered them with fervor over a rocking band. The album made the pop and country charts, and Songwriter earned an Academy Award nomination for best original song score, losing to Purple Rain. ~ William Ruhlmann

Broken Freedom Song: Live from San Francisco

$12.99

Personnel includes: Kris Kristofferson (vocals, guitar); Stephen Bruton (guitar); Keith Carper (bass).Recorded live at The Gershwin Theater, San Francisco, California on July 19, 2002.Kris Kristofferson. Personnel: Kris Kristofferson; Stephen Bruton, Stephen Burton (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Keith Carper (bass guitar, background vocals); Keith Caper (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Alan V. Abrahams. Recording information: The Gershwin Theatre, San Francisco State University (07/19/2002).Photographer: Sam Erickson. There are many who can claim that since Kris Kristofferson never had much of a singer's voice, his songs were always better served by someone else's interpretation. This view is dead wrong, however. While Kristofferson may not possess a golden throat, that doesn't mean he isn't a great singer. He is. No one sings his material - with the possible exception of Willie Nelson's interpretation of "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and Janis Joplin's "Me & Bobby McGee" - better than he does. (No, Johnny Cash's read of "Sunday Morning Coming Down" wasn't forgotten in the list, and it's a good one, but Kristofferson's is devastating.) Broken Freedom Song features the singer/songwriter in a stark yet romantic setting, accompanied only by guitarist and mandolinist Stephen Bruton and Keith Caper on bass. Both musicians provide backing vocals, and Kristofferson accompanies himself on acoustic guitar and harmonica. He has never been in better voice, and the collection of songs here is stellar. Along with "Darby's Castle," the title track, "Here Comes That Rainbow Again," and "Shandy" are four new songs, such as "The Circle," written after two significant events, the story of the disappeared ones (los Olvidados) in Argentina and the late Iraqi artist Layla Al-Attar, who was killed during the Clinton administration's bombing of Baghdad-the pilots missed the target. Al-Attar's name, and those of her husband and children, were never mentioned in the American press. Also, "Sky King," a song sung by Vietnam veterans during the war and others later, is a perennial live offeriing by Kristofferson that's never been recorded before; finally "Sandinista" from the excellent Third World Warrior album offers a widely divergent view of the truth about Nicaragua from the U.S. government's. And herein lies the beauty of this recording: It was never planned as a live album and features none of the "hits" except for the title track. It was recorded as a way to find a track for a Bread and Roses Foundation compilation. Broken Freedom Sing a record of love songs and topical protest tomes. But there's no placard-waving here. Kristofferson is a humanist and an intimate performer who doesn't give a damn whether people agree with him or not, nor does he presume he's right or superior. He asks questions and feels it important to preserve the names of victims in historical memory. And he asks a lot of questions here, amiably but unflinch

Includes liner notes by Kris Kristofferson. Additional guest personnel: Matraca Berg; Alison Krauss. For the follow-up to Moment of Forever, his first set of new original songs in years, Kris Kristofferson decided to record a set of stripped-down new versions of his classic songs. This project, released on Atlantic Records and entitled The Austin Sessions, was a star-studded affair, featuring harmony vocals from Jackson Browne, Steve Earle, Matraca Berg, Vince Gill, Marc Cohn, Alison Krauss, Catie Curtis, and Mark Knopfler. In one sense, it's easy to question why Kristofferson needed to record these songs again, since much of his catalog seems to consist of reinterpretations of these songs, but taken on its own terms, it's a good listen. In a way, Kristofferson's voice - which never had too much range, even at its peak - sounds better now that its older; the ragged edges and wear give it more character, which lend character to the songs. Ultimately, The Austin Sessions isn't a major addition to his catalog, but there's enough warmth and personality to these recordings to make it worth a listen for longtime fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
