Info for Easter Island (Remaster)

„The songs on EASTER ISLAND were some of the most poetic, direct, and emotionally honest of Kris Kristofferson's career. In addition, his storytelling strengths were at a high as well. Check out 'Risky Bizness,' and the album's final cut, 'The Fighter,' both of which used metaphorical images of a boxer who had similar characteristics to Jesus Christ. His love songs, such as 'Forever in Your Love' and 'Lay Me Down (And Love the World Away),' are two of the finer, truly country songs in the set, and the rest is up to par as well.“ (Thom Jurek, AMG)

'I'm proud of this one. Special thanks to Stephen Bruton and Mike Utley for their time and imagination (we wrote six of the songs together and worked out all of this music) and to the rest of the band—Billy Swan, Terry Paul, Sammy Creason, Donnie Fritts, Jerry McGee, and Dennis Belfield—for playing and singing so pretty. Also to David and Kent and Peggy in the studio. I think we're getting there, boys. (Get ready to beam us up, Scotty) Signed, Your Captain.' (Liner Notes)
