Kris Kristofferson

Few people have had a resume quite as impressive as Kris Kristofferson's: Rhodes scholar, Army Ranger, Golden Gloves Boxer, Oscar winner, Hall of Fame member, and world-renowned activist. When forced to list an occupation on his passport, though, Kris lists just one word: writer. Widely regarded as the greatest country songwriter since Hank Williams, Kristofferson's music knows no bounds. With a catalogue that has been covered by over 500 artists (including the likes of Waylon Jennings, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton), Kristofferson's lyrics have inspired everyone from the legendary Johnny Cash (who had several hits with Kristofferson songs) to superstar Tim McGraw (who had a smash hit with the song "Kristofferson"). Kris's raw, emotional, and original material has been inspiring artists for decades. His latest album, Closer To The Bone, continues Kristofferson legacy as a legendary singer, songwriter, and performer.
