Great music; great price
This CD has many of his great songs, and several songs I was not familiar with. I always love listening to Kris. He makes me think, makes me drink beer, and makes me dance with with my wife in the kitchen.


Let Kris Help You Make It Through The Night
He built a castle of poetry in song. Kris Kristofferson didn't blame it on the Stones. A gentleman and an outlaw, he had a touch Schmielson, a belly full of Waylon, and a head full of Cash (the Johnny kind). He saw his friends wasted on the sidewalk, and his girls catchin a diesel out of N'awlins singing up every song that driver knew. I knew Kris and he wrote songs that endure. Listen to this whole album and you'll find out why Billboard's entire music review team had to have 35 albums flown in overnight because the rock music director made them all sit down and listen to the words of every song. You try it, and maybe you'll have one flown in overnight too. Bobby Magee and me both like him, and she was as proud of her young body as a body could be. Listen to these songs when you're "Sunday Morning Comin Down. "

I love it
I was glad to find the CD just last Friday. My father has had a cassette tape of "Me and Bobby McGee" since it was originally released. My favorites are "Blame It on the Stones", "Best of All Possible Worlds", "The Law is for Protection of the People". I hadn't remebered "Duvalier's Dream", though I can now identify with Duvalier.


The Good Old Days
This CD brought a lot back. I am an aging "hippie", baby boomer class 2, who has been struggling to remember some of the events of my younger days. It made me feel human again.


An American Milestone


You better have some affinity for the down and out, however, as this record is populated with drunks, junkies, bums, losers, hippies, the loved and the loveless. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind album, a landmark recording by a tremendous artist at the peak of his creative genius. Kris' narrative focus is on the underdog, the marginal, the other left out or kicked out by society. His characters are on the road, bumming drinks and cigarettes, singing songs and landing in jail.

The recording is spare, emphasizing Kris' lyrics, guitar, and voice. That voice. His off-key tone, over time, is mesmerizing, perfect for the characters he is singing about -- I wouldn't change a thing.
