Info zu Kristofferson (Remastered)

Kris Kristofferson hätte es eigentlich nicht nötig gehabt, mit dem Hubschrauber auf Johnny Cashs Rasen zu landen, um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Seine genialen Lieder hätten vollkommen ausgereicht. Anno 1970 schrieb niemand in Nashville oder sonst wo so mühelos einfallsreiche und kluge Songs. Er hatte nicht nur "Me And Bobby McGee," "Help Me Make It Through The Night," and "For The Good Times" geschrieben, Kristofferson packte sie auch alle auf einmal auf sein Debütalbum und garnierte das ganze mit provokativen Songs wie dem mythischen "To Beat The Devil" und dem heiklen "The Law Is For Protection Of The People."

„Was aber nichts daran ändert, dass ihm mit Kristofferson eines der besten 70er-Jahre-Alben zwischen Country und Folk gelungen ist, dass Songs wie “Me And Bobby McGee”, “Help Me Make It Through The Night”, “For The Good Times”, “Casey’s Last Ride” oder “Sunday Morning Comin’ Down” heute völlig zu Recht zu den Klassikern dieses Genres gehören."
