RIP Kris Kristofferson

As you mega-superduperfans already know, a few years ago I mentioned wanting to dig deeper into Kris Kristofferson's catalog, and what I found was I kept coming back to his first album again & again. Normally this would be a concern, but while his other stuff was perfectly fine there's no shame in it being in second place behind what has to be on the all-time great debut albums by a solo artist short list.

One of the most fascinating guys in country music history, whose personal story matches his iconic musical presence.
