Sweetly dirty, uncut, and wobbly as a bourbon bender, we're digging the new decades-unreleased Kris Kristofferson recordings: Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends: The Unpublished Demos 1968-1972, brought about by the ever-charming Light in the Attic Records. It's out May 11th.
Mr. Kristofferson penned these gems while working as a janitor at Columbia Studios in Nashville (though they were recorded at Combine and Monument). They'd later become, well, icono-classics for anyone with sonic sensibilities.
The release has been in the making for a good five years. Co-producer Mark Linn worked with Light in the Attic to compile a 60 page booklet, which includes liner notes, new interviews with the man himself, and testimonials from pals Dennis Hopper and Merle Haggard.
Maybe she was smiling in the mirror
Maybe I was too 'cause I was stoned
It doesn't get better than that.
