5 out of 5 stars Extremely Moving Music (with some humor thrown in).......2004-12-01

I came back to this cassette recently while driving and had to pull over from the tears clouding my eyes. "Blame it on the Stones" is hilarious and musically interesting. "Beat the Devil" is inspiring to all of us who struggle to succeed in one art form or another. "Me and Bobby McGee" is the definitive version, in my humble opinion, and it's that "I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday" that made me pull over. "For the Good Times" is brutally sad yet pretty. "Duvalier" and "Castle" are truly unique songs showing KK's range that early in his career.

And I can't imagine a more honest portrait of failure and sadness that "Sunday Morning Coming Down." If you only know Johnny's version, than it's worth picking up this CD/cassette to hear Kris's version. One of my all-time favorite performances.

A singular, unique album, with a couple of cringe moments maybe, but you're gonna get that when someone opens up this entirely. This album tears at my heart; I love it.

5 out of 5 stars Me and Bobby Mcgee.......2004-08-22

I came across a wooden hut on the shores of lake Villarica in the south of Chile. Whilst sitting next to the hut and admiring the view I noticed someone had scratched something into the wall on the hut "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" from Me and Bobby Mcgee.

This quite simply the best album I have ever heard of any kind (and I don't consider myself a Country fan). In my opinion better than Pink Floyd's The Wall, Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and The Smiths' The Queen is Dead. Me and Bobby Mcgee makes you smile, makes you wonder, makes you reach all those moments in your life when you had time to feel.

5 out of 5 stars Masterful music.......2002-11-01

Kris Kristofferson is one of that small group of musicians (like Bob Marley) who transcends the musical genre he is generally said to belong to and who should therefore appeal to anybody who appreciates great music. His music is so, so much more than country music: it is lyrics verging on poetry sung beautifully to incredibly catchy tunes. The songs on this album are all in the good-to-great category, but my particular favourite is the classic Sunday Morning Coming Down. I also love the humour in Kristofferson's lyrics, which he fortunately performs in such a way that every word is clearly audible. I defy anybody not to smile upon listening to the lyrics of Best Of All Possible Worlds.

In short, an artist whose music should be in every music lover's collection. Do not be put off by the country label- Kristofferson is a musical genius.

5 out of 5 stars MASTER SONGWRITER.......2002-07-11

The proof of Kristofferson's craftmanship as a songwriter lies in the fact that songs like Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through The Night, For The Good Times and Sunday Morning Coming Down have been covered thousands of times by artists from many different genres. This collection displays his literate songwriting while his gruff vocal is somewhat reminiscent of Willie Nelson. I also considered him to be straddling a position between country and folk, and this album is more folk than country with its incisive social comment as on Blame It On The Stones and The Law Is For Protection of the People. He introduces Bobby McGee with the words: "If it sounds country man, that's what it is, this is a country song." Besides the above-mentioned classics, the other songs are excellent too and I love his voice and the sparse arrangements. This album is a classic example of the best work of the 60s singer-songwriter genre.

5 out of 5 stars TO BEAT THE DEVIL.......2000-08-29

Kris has never again reached the simple poetic purity and soulfulness on this, his first record. "To Beat the Devil" is my all time favorite song and I also prefer Kris's 'down home' version of "Me and Bobby McGee" to Janis Joplin's famous one. Most of the songs here are certified classics that have been recorded by God knows how many country and pop/rock artists; nevertheless, Kris' own versions have the stamp of his unique personality which I would roughly place as located somewhere between John Wayne, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and his idol William Blake.

    I love Kenny Rogers, but I was disappointed in the sound quality of this CD. Perhaps they were unable to improve upon the quality of his earlier recordings. Had I known, I would have made another choice from among his many CDs.
