Kristofferson: Strong Enough to Care.......2006-07-03

While I feel more emotionally connected to the songs on Kris' latest album (THIS OLD ROAD)...the songs that appear on this re-release still pack a punch: "Shipwrecked in the 80's" for example (which feels like an exploration, an apology, and an understanding tribute all in one).

While some folks might be turned off by Kris' left-leaning politics (these two records are laced with commentary of the times)...I was more than willing to travel down the road with him, to listen to his thoughts and concerns. And why not? Sometimes it takes a songwriter as accomplished and respected as Kris Kristofferson to get the point across. Especially moving are "The Eagle and The Bear", "The Hero", and "Mal Sacate" on the first disc.

"Anthem '84" on disc 2 explodes with an energy that you feel within the first moments of hearing the song...here is a man who is genuine and who cares. And here is his song: a heartbreaking tune of a lover who's lost (of course the analogy is more profound)...(a man struggling with his country's loss of morality)...it is strong because of its poignant grappling.

The music, the sound on these two discs is very different from anything that is heard on later albums (like the AUSTIN SESSIONS, or BROKEN FREEDOM SONG...both of which offer a much more stripped-down approach) and yet it is still very much a personal (and emotional) Kristofferson whose voice we hear.

third world warrior.......2006-06-28

good to have two lp on one tape--covers a later section of kris's work--in particular third world warrior was something new for the singer --had a bit of bite

Better than the Clash's statement.......2006-02-18

I'm referring to the 1980 Sandinista! album by the Clash, a 3-disc monstrosity that was the beginning of the end for a great band. Kristofferson, of all people, is the one who eulogized the Nicaraguan revolution brilliantly in popular music. Third World Warrior is the kind of in-your-face political album Sting wishes he could do. Kristofferson's band is one of the best country-rock aggregations ever assembled. Even when his voice starts to wear, Kristofferson can depend on the musicians. The songwriting tells a unified story, in which Kristofferson unashamedly makes the case for honoring the Nicaraguans who withstood, but only for a time, the brutality of the most powerful country on earth in the form of the Carter, Reagan, and Bush I terms. Kristofferson understands something has to be said about the destruction of a nation that helped its own people survive, and did no harm to the U.S. He says it well.

powerful and poetic.......2004-12-08

This is a brilliant collection of songs that tell a harsh truth. No one writes with the beauty and power of Kris Kristofferson and it is a shame that all to often his work has been overlooked. Whether he is writing of lost love or as in this case political and social injustice Kris cuts To The Bone (another great album) and writes with a passion and lyrical beauty unsurpassed by anyone.

more stars please.......2004-11-18

It was another 'poet and a preacher and a problem when he is stoned', Kurt Vonnegut who said, "let your language be the slave of your idea" and this, in a nutshell, is what this album is about. The music, lyrics and voice are still pristine but what knocks me dead after all these years is still his "ideas". The courage and the sacrifice of Kristoffferson to take this path has to be applauded. When many lesser musicians would play safe, Kritofferson has always been true to himself and this leaps out at you in this album. He laughingly admits to being 'distinctly less employable' as he made these songs. Yet he kept on. Kristofferson effortlessly exudes the cool of moonlight. What more can you say of a man who has shown us the nobility of all the blue patches that life has to offer and then goes on to play on the side of all the mistreated forgotten children of other worlds. He does it again and again with stunning effectiveness. Try "Broken freedom Road" (live and exquisite)and "A moment of forever" (more recent).Bless you KK.
