- Kristofferson's best in years
I have nearly every album Kristofferson ever recorded. I consider Moment of Forever one of the best, with a collection of wonderful songs. Catch the title track "Moment Of Forever," "Between Heaven And Here," and the rocker "Under The Gun." The last track "Sam's Song" is an ode to legendary film maker Sam Pekinpah and is a fun song to listen to. Kristofferson hits his stride again. What an artist, what a legend, what an album!

- He's still the best
Speaking as a diehard KK fan, I rate this as one of his best collections, definitely the best in recent years. His lyrics are tightly crafted, heart-felt and as always, right on target. His voice and delivery are quintesssential KK -- deep and sexy as hell. This is an album that makes you wish you could have been there is the recording studio. Sounds like it was one terrific party. The harmonies and "echo phrasing" on this album are terrific...especially the "Between Heaven and Here" track.

- My life in an album
Why do I hear more of my life every time I hear a new KK album.? This is by far his best work in years and I had the pleasure Of seeing him on the tour in th UK to promote it in 95 or 96 . The title song is just a gem and makes cry whenever I play it. It is so good to hear him back at doing what he does best - drawing on a colorful life to remind us that it can be cruel as well as kind , sad as well as funny. Those of us who live in the UK and know London will appreciate Casey. Do not hesitate to buy it if you thought the art of singer songwriter was dead - it just came back to life.

- Grows With Each Listen
This is definitely Kris' best and most realized record since the early 1970s. The songwriting here is uniformly strong, with emotional ballads like "A Moment of Forever" mixed with story songs like "Johnny Lobo" mixed with old chestnuts like "Good Love Shouldn't Feel So Bad."
What I really like is Don Was and his very tasteful production. The instruments are brilliantly recorded, including mandolins, dobros, and other melodic instruments filling out the sound, along with a very active, harmonic bass.
Kris' voice has not sounded this good in years, and his commitment and passion in each song is felt and resonates with every listen.

- A great album
I have numerous albums, cassettes, and Cds of Kris. I recently purchased this Cd. It is a great one. The title song is the best and one you will always remember, particularly if you are old enough to have a lot of fond memories that you want to hold on to forever.
