Kristofferson performed in my hometown last summer, we’re one of the small-town stops between New York and Boston. No opening act. No band. Just him, a guitar and a harmonica. It was a quiet but powerful evening. By himself he’s not a very good guitar player and several times he fumbled trying to get to the harmonica – even joking about how clumsy he was. And, now that he’s pretty near 70, well, he’s an old man, standing up there on skinny legs and looking fragile. But his voice was good and his lyrics are just wonderful. Except for the joker who kept yelling “Yeah, let’s get stoned” during Sunday Morning Comin’ Down (Wishin’ Lord that I was stoned) and the woman behind us who insisted on singing harmony, loudly, it was a fine show. If you love roots music and want to see an icon while he can still do it, catch him.

I have to agree with the shallowness of “young country”. It doesn’t say much to me. I had no idea Kris Kristofferson wrote all of that music. I’m going to have to download some of his music now.
