6221. Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge - Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends
 |
| From: Natural Act; Year: 1978; Genre: Outlaw Country |
The other day Kris Kristofferson passed away at the age of 88. What I remember most of him was that he was one of the most outspoken country artists that opposed the intelligentsia of the Nashville recording scene in the late 60s and on. Probably in popular culture, other than his many acting roles over the years, is that he was the writer of the song that Janis Joplin covered and made a piece of musical history: Me and Bobby McGee.
Being part of the Outlaw movement kind of endeared him to me personally because of the great company he kept and the uncensored truth and honesty behind his art which makes the subgenre one of my favourites of country & western. I tell you what, he certainly did ruffle some feathers with his outspoken and free pen and tongue for sure.
