Disco de Kris Kristofferson: “Border Lord”

The sound here is great. It's real. Acoustic guitars, fiddle, piano. No frills. No overproduction which mired him on later, much [worse] albums. This sound is perfect for his raspy, grunting singing style. These songs are so great. These kinds of songs do not need elaborate production, just musicians with heart. His sound went to hell after this album. Why do guys like Kristofferson, Prine, and Shaver feel the need to make commercially succesful albums. They should just write great songs and sing them with sparse arangements.

Yesterday, Today, Tommorrow!!!! This man's poetry and genius marveled me twenty-five plus years ago and continues to do so today. Those who have not been touched by his soulfullness in the past must do so now. It was life back then, it is life now. It was love back than, it is love now. Willie Nelson once gave a definition of mixed emotion, don't let this be a missed emotion. Lyric's, Lesson's, Legend.

Border Lord is definitely in my top 5 of his catalog. By far one of his best works. Closer to the Bone and This Old Road are up there as well
