Kris Kristofferson

All right, here’s another with the same guitarist as in the above video---Jedd Hughes, wherein he talks about an album in my all-time Top 10, The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell. He also speaks about Emmylou, as well as Buddy Miller, Albert Lee, and Richard Thompson, three of my favorite guitarists.

Recently been acquiring Kris's lps

"Silver Tounged Devil" is one that VMP offered as a AAA.

The Highway men ,talk about a group of artists with unbelievable talent in performance and sound writing. 

@slaw: Me too Steve, as well as a few of his with Rita, and her solo. I don't know why I didn't get into them back in the 70's, but better late than never.

I became acquainted with Billy Swan when we both lived in Sherman Oaks, CA. He served as Kris'es band leader/guitarist/harmony singer for years, and is pictured on the back of T Bone Burnett's Truth Decay album. He told me about seeing Elvis, Scotty, and Bill Black perform on the back of a flatbed truck in 1956. That was before D.J. Fontana had been hired to play drums with the trio. I was impressed. 

Honestly, why do so many of you guys have trouble spelling the word 'lose'??!

How about loser….

Speaking of losers, is this you again earlflynn/jerryg123/skypunk etc. etc.?

I believe so!

Enjoy your brief stay.

That perspective being of looking in the mirror.

Met him once at the Panama City, Florida Civic Center.

Nice fella.

From an obituary:

"songwriter, actor, country/western singer, musician, U.S. Army veteran, helicopter pilot, accomplished rugby player and boxer, Rhodes scholar, Pomona College and University of Oxford degreed, and summa cum laude literature graduate"

truly a Renaissance man!
