Album Notes & Community Reviews
After writing massive hits for country music's biggest stars, Kris Kristofferson finally released his own deeply raspy, beautifully raw solo debut. 'Kristofferson' is a profoundly poetic, wonderfully melodic cornerstone of outlaw country, balancing highly conscious, deeply introspective singer-songwriter reflections with a remarkably sombre, intensely sentimental acoustic atmosphere.
