Released in 1970 this was Kristofferson's debut album. Many of the songs had been previously released by other artists including Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin and Waylon Jennings. The album was not very succesful commercially but was rereleased in 1971 named Me & Bobby McGee - the album became an instant hit.
Some of my favorite songs - Blame It On The Stones, To Beat The Devil, Best Of All Possible Worlds, Help Me Make It Through The Night, The Law Is For Protection Of The People, Casey's Last Ride, Just The Other Side Of Nowhere, Darby's Castle and Sunday Morning Coming Down.
This album got a lot of airtime in the Davidson household on Sunday mornings in fact I cant remember a Sunday morning growing up without Kristofferson on.
We went to see Kristofferson live in Melbourne and it was worth every penny. I would love to see him again.
