  1. Kris Kristofferson: Songs of Kristofferson (Columbia PZ 34687, 1977)

    This is a greatest hits album and it’s perfect. Twelve songs and they’re all great. Kristofferson is the ultimate example of nontoxic masculinity. Tough but sensitive. Rugged but gentle. Damaged but he’s working on it. And there's nothin' short of dyin' half as lonesome as the sound on the sleepin' city sidewalks, Sunday mornin' comin' down.

  2. Kris Kristofferson: Jesus Was a Capricorn (Monument KZ 31909, 1972)

    The fourth album by the guy who gave country music the “illusion of literacy” according to Tom T. Hall. And yeah, Kristofferson is as smart, good-looking and talented as anybody who ever did it, the lucky son of a bitch. The title track is “owed to John Prine” and you can hear why.

    On this day 55 years ago Janis Joplin began a nine week run at #1 with her album ’Pearl’.

    “Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
    And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,
    With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
    Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up every song
    That driver knew.”

  10. "Help Me Make It Through the Night" is a #country #ballad written and composed by #KrisKristofferson and released on his 1970 album Kristofferson. It was covered later in 1970 by #SammiSmith, on the album #HelpMeMakeItThroughTheNight. In 1982, Kris did a re-recording with #BrendaLee for the compilation album #TheWinningHand.

  15. "He's a poet, an' he's a picker, he's a prophet, an' he's a pusher
    He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
    He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction
    Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home

    There's a lot of wrong directions, on that lonely way back home"

  18. Sam Peckinpah – „Convoy“ (1978)

    Eine endlose Kolonne aus Stahl, Diesel, Schweiß und Wut. Was aussieht wie ein protziges Macho-Spektakel mit Country-Soundtrack und CB-Funk, ist in Wahrheit eine melancholische Geisterfahrt durch das Herz der untergehenden USA. Sam Peckinpah, der poetischste aller Actionregisseure, verfilmte einen Country-Song – und kreierte eine elegische Studie über Freiheit, Männlichkeit und das Ende der letzten Cowboy-Mythen. (ARD)

    In February 1969, #JohnnyCash had a party at his house (that) turned into a guitar pull, with some of Johnny's friends trying out their latest songs. " #BobDylan sang 'Lay Lady Lay,'" recalled Cash. " #KrisKristofferson sang 'Me and Bobby McGee.' #JoniMitchell sang 'Both Sides Now.' #GrahamNash sang 'Marrakesh Express.' And #ShelSilverstein sang 'A Boy Named Sue.'"
