A phenomenal album, Kristofferson changed the face of Nashville when it was released. Resembling Leonard Cohen more than Hank Williams, Kristofferson was certainly a new sound for an old genre.
His voice is masculine and straightforward, his songwriting is beguiling and honest. Every song is a good one on this album, but Just the Other Side of Nowhere, Help Me Make It Thru The Night, and Casey's Last Ride are my favorites.
But what do you think?
