Kris Kristofferson returns to the essentials of his finely honed craft on his New West album Closer to the Bone.
 Like the master singer-songwriter’s 2006 New West release This Old Road, the new album is produced by Grammy Award winner Don Was. The previous collection – Kristofferson’s first recording in almost a dozen years – was hailed by critics as “one of the finest albums of his storied career” (Rolling Stone).

Kristofferson’s New West albums mark the latest works of a distinguished career that has encompassed the authorship of such classic American songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down” and “Help Me Make It Through the Night”; stardom in such feature films as Lonestar, the Blade Trilogy, A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid and A Star is Born; honors including three Grammy Awards and a Golden Globe Award; and years of outspoken political and social activism. Kristofferson is currently a member of the Songwriter Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

      Kris Kristofferson is so endearing and humble and kind, and funny, acknowledging his friends, both past and present, who've helped him along the way, his children, and "their mommas". He is a little awkward as a performer which after all these years performing makes him very charming. The audience loved him. One Complaint about the Ryman: I wish the ushers would not seat people who show up late in the middle of a song. It's disruptive to many people, disrespectful for those who arrived on time, and disrespectful to the performer. Collapse
