Product Details

Kristofferson came up in Nashville as a janitor at Columbia Recording Studios, quietly slipping demos to the artists who would make his songs legendary, and that scrappy, boots-on-the-ground authenticity has never left his writing. By the time Cash, Janis Joplin, and Ray Price had turned his words into hits, he'd already established himself as one of country music's most unsparing poets of the human condition, a reputation this stripped-down collection upholds without apology.

Kris Kristofferson returns to the essentials of his finely honed craft on his new album CLOSER TO THE BONE. Like the master singer/songwriter's 2006 New West bow THIS OLD ROAD, this album is produced by Granny Award-winner Don Was. CLOSER TO THE BONE is a deftly observed, honestly executed work about love, separation, loss and mortality. The subject matter ranges from the musician's family to Kristofferson's late friend, Johnny Cash.
