Free Music Notes for Closer To The Bone
Free Music Review: "Cause the road never ends,And the soul never dies."
Hit: 5 Stars
It's now over 40 years ,and over 60 albums;and with Kris in his 70's ;he deserves the title of a Living Legend.What great songs he has written and sung for us.There are few who can be grouped with the best such as Hank Willims,Johnny Cash,Willie Nelson,Woody Guthrie and such;and Kris Kristoffersonis certainly one of them.The thing that raises these artists above the rest is not only the number of songs they wrote and sang but how widespread their songs have become and how many other artists have also recorded them.Along with that, is the variety of their songs and new directions their music took.All this will result in their music becomming known and will continue long after their days among us are over.
With all these artists,there are songs of theirs that immediately come to mind and one associates with them;For instance,Hank Williams and "Your Cheating Heart";Johnny Cash and "Folsom Prison";Willie Nelson and "On The Road Again" ;Woody Guthrie and "This Land Is Your Land" and Kris Kristofferson and "Sunday Morning Coming Down"..or pick your own.These songs will be with us for generations.
All these artists wrote and sang thousands of other songs that are not as well known and I believe many fans find many of their other songs their favorites.As an example,with Hank Williams ,my favorite has always been a lesser known song "The First Fall Of Snow".
The reason I have said this is that the songs on this CD are exceptionally good,all but one were written by Kris,and they are all filled with deep emotions and thoughts;which by the way will have personal meaning to anyone who listens to them.This is very important,and when one can have a song seem to apply to their own life and experiences;it becomes a special and favorite to them.
The songs on this album are just that type of songs.Maybe none of them will ever become top sellers ;but that doesn't matter.Surely,they will tug at the heartstrings of the listener,and isn't that what is really important.
Kris never fails to surprise us with his songs and the one he included at the end of the album is such a song.It is the first full song that he ever wrote;and it is amazing that the ideas in this song came from someone only 11 years old..but then Kris has continually amazed us.
It is a CD that I will listen to often ;and suggest any of Kris's fans will treasure it.
Closer To The Bone Poster
One of the most revered songwriters of the last half century Los Angeles TimesKris Kristofferson returns to the essentials of his finely honed craft on his new album Closer To The Bone. Like the master singer-songwriter s 2006 New West bow This Old Road, this album is produced by Grammy Award winner Don Was. The previous collection was hailed by critics as one of the finest albums of his storied career (Rolling Stone), a stripped-down stunner (Esquire), and a return to his best work (Q).
Kristofferson says of the new album, I like the intimacy of the new album. It has a general mood of reflecting on where we all are at this end of life. Closer To The Bone is a deftly observed, honestly executed work about love, separation, loss, and mortality. The subject matter ranges from the musician s family ( From Here to Forever, The Wonder ) to Kristofferson s late friend Johnny Cash ( Good Morning John ).
