Entertainment Weekly (1/10/92, p.70) - "..His early songs were fairly revolutionary..he managed to infuse country music with both a new literacy - and a frank sexuality...an honest poignancy in Kristofferson's own stripped-down renditions.." - rating: B+
In the 1970s, Kris Kristofferson changed the direction of Nashville with his poetic, irreverent songs. Influenced by rock, unafraid to write about carnal pleasures, and a dyed-in-the-wool rebel, he fit right in with the blossoming "outlaw country" aesthetic. Kristofferson was much more successful as a songwriter than as a performer, and his songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, and countless others.
