Kris Kristofferson - Live From Austin, Texas

With one foot in the world of longhaired rock and the other firmly entrenched in the country tradition, singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson changed the direction of Nashville with poetic, unflinching tales of drunkenness, betrayal, and despair flavored with nimble guitar work and an overwhelmingly literary attention to detail. The legendary country outlaw is captured live in this 1981 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of Kristofferson's performance, including signature songs like "Me and Bobby McGee," "For the Good Times," "Help Me Make it Through the Night," and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down."
