Kristofferson by Kris Kristofferson

His first record, released 1970, later named Me And Bobby McGee. This shows to be overfull with good country songs, for Christ's sake! a compelling mixture of conservative with socially liberal, maybe the best from each field.

Kris' compositions has taken some time for me to appreciate... at first they seemed quite boring, but finally begins to feel really good. For me sounds most similar to : Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Roger Miller and Gordon Lightfoot. Among best of all is the use of xylophone or marimba in some songs.
