Listen Up To Kris Kristofferson!

Legendary songwriter Kris Kristofferson will release his first album of new material in four years on January 29, 2013.  Feeling Mortal will be his first completely independent release on Kristofferson’s KK Records label.  

 

Kristofferson is a Country Music Hall of Famer who ranks among the most versatile of American talents. He’s been a Golden Gloves boxer, a Rhodes scholar, a college football player, an acclaimed actor, a military officer, a helicopter pilot, a Grammy-winner, a screw-up and an icon, and now he finds himself releasing the third Don Was-produced album in a twilight years trilogy. Feeling Mortal follows 2009’s Closer To The Bone and 2006’s This Old Road in examining hard-won grace.

 

Kristofferson and producer, Don Was spent three days recording Feeling Mortal, cutting 20 songs and picking 10, then bolstering the basic tracks with stellar instrumental work from guitarist Mark Goldenberg, pedal steel master Greg Leisz, keyboardist Matt Rollins, violinist and vocalist Sara Watkins, bassist Sean Hurley and drummer Aaron Sterling. 

 

They emerged with a piece of work that Was suggests is “One of Kris’ finest albums.” 

 

This record, may very well be his masterpiece to date.  And a musical gem you will treasure for years to come.
