Title: what a great compilation
Product review: Kris Kristofferson is seriously deserving of a tribute compilation, having not nearly received enough respect for his literate and unique songwriting. As one of those artists (Dylan, Cohen, etc.) whose voice is an obstacle for some, what better way of getting past that to the songs than to present them with fresh voices. The song choices, artist choices and general production here is excellent. A particular highlight is the very underrated Chuck Prophet and his version of 'loving her was easier", featuring a Glen Campbell-ish baritone guitar line and a star-trek-like descant from his long-time sidekick, stephanie finch. Also damn near perfect is the choice of John Doe for "Me and Bobby McGee". Inspired, as is the rest of this set.
