Decent collection of doomy,sometimes wordy country ballads .

I like to dip into it now and again and have a good mope , especially to "bobby mcgee" "sunday morning" and "for the good times" "make it through the night"

Guys got a great beard as well .

Many good songs... destroyed by the excessive use of strings.

A gentleman and a scholar and according to my bro a rather nice chap! AND he wrote 'Sunday Morning Coming Down'!

_Jesus was a capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes

Long hair, beard and sandles
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we’d just nail him up
If he came down again

’cause everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than at any time they please
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty decent folks can frown on
If you can’t find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Eggheads cussing rednecks cussing
Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at squares

Some folks hate the whites
Who hate the blacks who hate the klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don’t understand_

Doesn't that just sum it up? The greatest country song ever written? Quite possibly.

This collection of Kris Kristofferson's is absolutely brilliant, featuring all the classics such as "Sunday Morning Coming Down", "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Loving Her Was Easier" as well as my personal favs "Jesus was a Capricorn" and "Josie".

I don't have any desire to dig any deeper into Kris Kristofferson's music, but will always cherish this compilation.
