Listening to a bit of Kris Kristofferson. The raspy voice that accompanies his lyrics brings his storytelling to life.
A bit of a favourite.
I doubt there's a bar band anywhere in the US that doesn't know how to play 'Me and Bobby Mcghee',
that's quite a legacy....
and to have Johnny,Willie and Waylon as band members and friends was pretty f**king cool...
I'm a huge fan of the singer-songwriter type artists like Kris,...Townes Van Zandt,Steve Earle ,Guy Clark,Ray Wylie Hubbard and the fabulous John Prine (who's touring here now but I couldn't get to any shows)....
the one thing all those guys have in common is they've lived a life and know how to write about it.
