Well, a few more of Kris' songs from the Highwaymen concert "live from Nassau", that made me fell in love so badly with Kris' music. It's available on DVD. www.amazon.com www.amazon.co.uk Some scenes even made me smile. Watch closely... You see they all love this song so much... Waylon wants to sing on with the second verse, but Johnny steals him the following line (2:15) ... then Kris is waiting on someone else to sing on with whom it was good enough for, but no-one seems to dare (3:00), so he does himself... :-) I love this concert ....and this DVD. "Me and Bobby McGee" is a song that was covered multiple times with various levels of commercial success. Roger Miller was the first artist to have a hit with the song, peaking with it at No. 12 on the US country chart in 1969. Gordon Lightfoot's version hit No. 13 on the pop chart and No. 1 country in his native Canada in 1970. Lightfoot sang the song after a detailed tribute to Kris Kristofferson in a CBC broadcast from the summer 1969 Charlottetown Festival. In his introduction, Lightfoot referred to the Miller version and said he intended to record it himself "the way it should be done." In a 2008 autobiography, Don Reid and Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers say Kristofferson promised it to them, but when they later inquired about recording it, they learned Miller had already cut the song. The Reids say there were no hard feelings, and were happy about Miller's success with the song. The song was later included on a .... + Informações

"Why Me" is an American county and gospel song written and recorded by Kris Kristofferson. "Why Me" was Kristofferson's lone major country hit as a solo recording artist, reaching No. 1 of Billboard Magazine's hot country singles chart in July 1973. The song, despite peaking only at No. 16 of the Billboard Hot 100, had one of the longer runs (19 weeks) in the Top 40 at that time. As a result, the song managed to be ranked as the sixth most popular Hot 100 single of 1973. Elvis Presley incorporated the song, titled as "Why Me Lord", into his live shows beginning in January 1974 up until his last concert tour. It was first released on the live album, Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis in June 1974. Johnnny Cash also recorded a version of the song in one of his 1970s albums. Christian Country music, sometimes referred to as country gospel music, is a subgenre of gospel music with a country flair, is also known as inspirational country. Christian country over the years has progressed into a mainstream country sound with inspirational or positive country lyrics Note: Gospel music is written to express either personal, spiritual or a communal belief regarding Christian life. Although I believe in God and His son, Jesus, the tenet conveyed in this song is not in complete accord with my own personal views.. + Informações

Kris Kristofferson Sandinista (live 2010) live from San Sebastian, Spain, July 25 Kris's Spanish words: Sandinista, the forces of darkness can never extinguish the purity of your revolutionary flame. With their terror and their lies, with their money and their machines, the burning love in your heart, the liberty in your eyes are stronger forces than the weapons of war. The song is on Kris's album "Third World Warrior" (1990) which is available with the CD "Kris Kristofferson - The Country Collection" www.amazon.com www.amazon.co.uk www.amazon.de On the album Mal Sacate is lovely fading into Sandinista - it's really like a beautiful hymn... You can watch Mal Sacate here www.youtube.com At a concert in Mexico in the late 1980s Kris spoke to members of a Nicaraguan band and one of them suggested he go there himself to see what was happening. Kris first visited Nicaragua in 1987. He explained his reason for going there was to show how it "means a lot to those people to know that not all Americans want to kill them". In 1988 he initiated contact with Brian Willson, a peace activist and dissident who had lost both legs during a protest in Concord, CA the previous year by putting himself in the path of a train carrying military weapons bound for Central America. The same year they travelled to Nicaragua together, being met at the airport by president Daniel Ortega. Willson had hoped that other celebs might lend support to his visit, but Kris was the only one prepared to. On the .... + Informações

They'd sing so real nice harmony together, it sounds so amazingly beautiful ... This song is just perfect - the tune, the lyrics, the harmonies ... awesome ... How can one dislike it?? ... this is from Johnny Cash's Christmas Show 1978 Though maybe my favourite version of this song is the one from the album "The Austin Sessions" (1999). This little piece of Mark Knopfler was the perfect choice for this song... But it's impossible to upload any song from this marvelous album just to show it to the ones who don't know it yet. Each of these 12 classic songs of Kris is so incredibly beautifully arranged ... It's a shame that this CD is rare in the stores, but luckily one can buy it on the internet... www.amazon.com And I really love Kris' demo version from (ca) 1970 which is also among my uploads www.youtube.com Please don't tell me how the story ends (1970) This could be our last good night together We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends.. + Informações

Kris Kristofferson - His life and work (1993) Kris talking about Vietnam Blues and his attitude to Vietnam "It's up to anybody who does have the information to try to pass it on..." This is an amazing and interesting documentary about Kris's life and his songwriting, performing and acting career, including interviews with Kris, Fred Foster, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dennis Hopper, Michael Cimino, Joan Baez, Alan Rudolp, Harry Dean Stanton, Jackson Browne and others. Kris sings a couple of unplugged songs. One of the most exciting moments to me: when he shows us around some important places in Nashville and comes to the place where he 'd live and where he stumbled down the stairs to meet the day ... Just amazing... www.amazon.com www.amazon.co.uk Kris about Vietnam Blues, " I'm not embarrassed about that song... but ...my own feelings about Vietnam turned 180 degrees. But I still felt, at the time, that all my friends were over there. And it wasn't their fault that they were over there. But I come to believe that it was a tremendous mistake for our government to be over there and that the things that we were doing were inhuman." Vietnam Blues (Kris was still in the army in Germany when he wrote that song in about 1965) I was on leave at the time, just duckin' the fog, nosin' around like a hungry dog in that crazy place called Washington, DC I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signs about Vietnam, so I went on over to see what I could see.

Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall, Layin' soft upon my skin. Like the shadows on the wall. Come and lay down by my side 'till the early morning light All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight. And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight.
