Synopsis

Album Description

2009 UK compilation of digitally remastered recordings by the American singer, songwriter, musician and actor. Kristofferson first climbed to fame as a songwriter, penning such hits as 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', 'For The Good Times', 'Sunday Morning Comin' Down' and 'Me And Bobby McGee'. In the '70s, he made the transition to successful performer with a series of critically acclaimed solo albums. Once he had crossed over to 'sex symbol', Kristofferson's acting career took off and for the last three decades, he has successfully balanced his music and thespian careers with political activism while still maintaining his down-to-earth personality. This collection contains the best of his solo recordings including his interpretations of the aforementioned songs plus 'Lover Her Was Easier', 'Why Me' and many more. 23 tracks. Camden.

CD Reviews

Great songs by a great songwriter/poet

06/06/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"How can you resist him? Of course he doesn't have a singing voice, BUT listen to the music. Listen to the poetry. Can you find a more touching song than Help Me Make It Through the Night or Me and Bobbi McGee? "I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yeserday/holding Bobbi's body next to mine." WOW!"

Super album

03/03/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this appears to be a story of kris's life done in song with others to help take the heat. Kris has always been able to write. What a talent. His music of life truly gets me into feeling as if I'm there with him. Each song seems to have been a part of him. Kris writes of life as he lives it. Hard and direct. This album will undoubtedly be a standard for all of his music and it will stand the test of time."
