Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply heartfelt tribute from one country outlaw to another, 'Sings Kristofferson' features Willie Nelson interpreting the iconic catalog of his friend and peer. Nelson's idiosyncratic, behind-the-beat vocal phrasing breathes new, weary life into legendary compositions like 'Me and Bobby McGee' and 'Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down'. The pristine production perfectly complements the intimate, acoustic-driven nature of the performances.
