@immatthewj I am sure I had heard him on many occasions. In general I stay away from country which morphed into a joke lately. Of course his country genre is not this current genre...
You probably have. He wrote and recorded a ton of music. He wrote Me And Bobby McGee, and Rodger Miller and Janis Joplin both recorded it before he did. On edit, I had been under the impression that he wrote it for Janis Joplin, but after I just now did a google, I am not sure about that. I always thought of Kris Kristofferson as part of the outlaw segment of country music. Good music to drink Jack Daniels to.
