The Very Best Of Kris Kristofferson

Love this album, always loved Kris Kristofferson and now I can listen to him whenever I want to. The price is absolutely great.

Brings back many memories and has a good sound

I like this cd & had lost a previous copy so nice to be able to get it again 👍

A very good selection. It's all about the words. – 4 StarsOk, so I’m the first to admit that Kristofferson as a singer is an acquired taste, but he sure wrote some great lyrics. My personal favourites on this collection are: ‘We must have been out of our minds’, ‘Me and Bobby McGee’, and the wonderful ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’. There are some country classic duets too, featuring Dolly Parton, Rita Coolidge, and Joan Baez in a rendition of ‘Hello In There’ that is raw with emotion.Overall, this CD showcases a really good range of Kristofferson’s work, and is easy listening as country music goes. It’s also excellent value for money.

Brilliant CD

Brilliant cd

I am now in my 60s so bought this CD as a nod to my flat sharing days in the 70s in Dublin. Great music and great memories. Always easy listening.

Kris Kristofferson writes brilliant songs - For The Good Times, Help Me Make It Through The Night being the two best well known of his. What is less well known is that Kristofferson has a post-grad Eng Lit degree from Oxford, and the literary quality of his writing is evident in all of these songs. Many of them have been hits for other artists, because the problem is that Kristofferson cannot sing; his voice is not one that anyone would listen to with unalloyed joy - it is like having your t*sticles rubbed with sandpaper. He makes Bob Dylan sound like Andy Williams. However, if you enjoy lyrics and want some rough pleasure, this album provides it with harsh intensity.
