Classic Kristofferson,

Almost all these songs were recorded previously by others, but this album gives them the songwriter's gravel-voiced, hard-lived edge that they need. I listened to this and Gordon Lightfoot over and over through college. The songs are classic. If you aren't familiar with them, but appreciate music from the heart of a life lived hard, I highly recommend it. Lyrics like, "the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert" from Sunday Morning Coming Down take experience to write, much like Gordon Lightfoot's Second Cup of Coffee from his Don Quixote album(I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day, I'm thinking of the lady who got lost along the way).
You owe it to yourself to give it a listen.
They just don't write them like that anymore.

Kris Kristofferson is a great songwriter and this represents some of his best work done with heart and soul. No matter what genre of music you like, just like Johnny Cash, this should be in all music lovers collections.

This is a perfect album to take you back to those early 70's times. Well worth the price.
