Oh, how I HATE his politics, but what a songwriter. It was quite a while before I realized it was him writing "Sunday Morning Comin' Down."
I thought Cash wrote it.
And Johnny's version is the standard.
But I give credit where it is due.
BTW, HOW does a man with such a background like Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson (to a lesser degree), become liberal pukes?
Country music is IMHO, the best reflection of America, and our values.
Oh, man. Where do I begin? All of these songs are musically and lyrically beautiful. The music-banjos, mandolins, fiddles, guitars-is top notch. So many to choose from. My 3 favorite are probably:
Cowboy Take Me Away—”on a pillow of bluebonnets in a blanket made of stars”. Tell me a song with better lyrics than this.
Travelin’ Soldier—about a young military kid off to Vietnam and a young girl he meets before leaving. This song pays tribute to Vietnam vets, mentions the national anthem and the Lord’s prayer and high school football games. Gosh, the Dixie Chicks are so un-American. sarc/ Many people have tears in their eyes when listening to this, understandably so. Tell me a better traditional American value song than this?
You Were Mine—classic tear jerker country song.
