After all, such moves are generally prompted more by a yearning to restore one's financial rather than artistic standing. This project by country maverick Kris Kristofferson, however, has one major factor in its favour: Kristofferson's original early-1970s recordings of the likes of \"Me and Bobby McGee\", \"Help Me Make It Through the Night\", and \"The Pilgrim: Chapter 33\" were significant, but less than definitive. Here he returns to the tunes that helped lay the groundwork for the Outlaw movement of the 1970s, but in place of the stolid Nashville arrangements on the originals is more sympathetic accompaniment. While The Austin Sessions is star-studded (guests include Steve Earle, Jackson Browne, Vince Gill, and Alison Krauss), the project really rests on the broad shoulders of Kristofferson, who fares well. Never a threat to George Jones as a vocalist, he nevertheless sounds comfortable in a largely acoustic setting rasping his way through songs he should be prouder than ever for penning. --Steven Stolder\n\nProduct Description\n\nKris Kristofferson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 007567832082\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0007567832082\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2015065\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47808986153219,"sku":"DT-IKTG-8M3D","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81EWo_A9qEL.jpg?v=1772396129","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/es\/products\/the-austin-sessions","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
