“One of the most revered songwriters
of the last half century” - Los Angeles Times
K
ris 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).
