Kris Kristofferson will forever be one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever.
He is a legend

This album is a gem from a man who is unsurpassed in his field. His raw emotion and honesty in both writing and performance are what makes him unique in the industry caught up in "branding". I saw him in Chattanooga a few months ago and his performance which consisted on him and a guitar was stellar. Here's hoping this isn't the last we hear from him.
Feeling Mortal

Without a doubt "Feeling Mortal", Stairway To The Bottom" and "My Heart Was The Last to Know" are 3 of the best songs Kris has ever wrote and sings. Totally awesomeness. "Feeling Mortal" brings tears to my eyes every time I replay it.

So many of the the great country legends have passed on and several did amazing records late in their careers - Johnny Cash did some of his best work late in life as did Porter Waggoner and, the still kicking, Loretta Lynn - This record rates right up there and the honest sparse production lends itself to highlight the brilliance of the work - KK has given us a gem and we can only hope there's more to come - I could hear George Jones doing "Just Suppose" and I hope sometime soon we get a record like this from the Possum.
The Truth

By Ol' Brack
It must be an incredible feeling to say in a word or two what it takes a mortal a paragraph or two to convey. Kris maybe feeling mortal, but he sure doesn't write like one.
I hold that the poets of our modern age
Are playing tonight on some corner stage.
from an unlikely lectern of bronze string and spruce,
They're spinning a tale and telling the truth.

Great Stuff from a Legend

People... Give Kris a break. The guy is 76 years old, and has seen more miles than most of us. He is still writing good songs, better than the Nashville crap they call country these days. Of course he won't sound or write like he did 40 years ago. But that doesn't mean it isn't good writing. Listen with an open mind, and enjoy a legend who isn't willing to pack it in.
Lost and a bore

Evolution, cognition and fiction are hallmarks of an authentic soul, artist, human or otherwise. The " Poor Me " complex that has become an epidemic in aging country singers latest creations merely reminds the world of James Jones's quote - " We all tell our stories and talk about our lives, it reminds our hearts everything born dies ". As does creativity in the case of this sad, mediocre attempt at bypassing what was once a great mind of exploration in poetry, imagery, verse and artistry. Say good night Kris.
It is what it is

As someone who has listened to Kris for almost 40 years now I like this a lot. I know a lot of people will complain that it's not as good as stuff from the 70's and scream he's lost it but what exactly is a 76 year old singer songwriter supose to write about today? Kris is one of the greatest songwriters that has ever lived and this record and these songs represent his life today and the forthcoming final chapter and if you just sit down and listen to the words in these songs you might enjoy them.

Kris was at his best back with Jesus Was A Capricorn, Border Lord, etc....& when he was with Rita Coolidge :-), but he has gone down hill in my opinion, whatever happened to the outlaw? He stopped drinking & I guess that's when he lost it & got into the movie business.
