Kris Kristofferson

Hello bdp24 ...and no offense taken as I understand where you are coming from. I guess I have looked at " the real country music " with the artists such as ; Willie, Johnny, Waylon, Hank, and Kris Kristopherson along with Merle and lets nit forget the country ladies as well. I have seen Emily Lou, Rodney, Lucinda and John Hiatt many times in my life and always have enjoyed them in my home. Let's not forget that the 90's was a great time for country and I think and again my opinion, he last time that good country music was being made. I am actually heading to Nashville in December to The Mavericks play and have caught them twice already this year on their 2024 tour. Great band and hopefully you have seem them live ......you know Luke Bryan for current country music isn't bad. I just don's think think Hank would have played it this a way ........enjoy           

For those who haven’t heard it, Gordon Lightfoot’s recording of Kris’ "Me And Bobby McGee" is a great version (it’s on his If You Could Read My Mind album, originally issued as Sit Down Young Stranger). As a bonus, it features excellent recorded sound quality.

In Country music, there is no show of respect greater than for one songwriter to record another’s song. Merle Haggard recorded Iris DeMent’s devastating "No Time To Cry", and while a good version it doesn’t come close to Iris’ own.

Are you moving home(s)? Or, building a new sound room?

Happy Listening!

I'm watching Heaven Gate,I remember seeing it back in 1980.

Kris was a great human being.
