About this album

Kristofferson is the breakthrough that established Kris Kristofferson as a major country songwriter and performer. Issued in 1970, the album brought together the stark, literate writing that made his name, including songs such as Help Me Make It Through the Night, Me and Bobby McGee and Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down. Drawing on country, folk and Nashville storytelling, it showed a songwriter unafraid of plain speech, emotional ambiguity and lived-in detail. The record helped define the outlaw country sensibility and has remained one of the key statements in Kristofferson’s catalogue, later becoming a source of major hits for other artists as well.
