by News came out last week that singing and songwriting legend Kris Kristopherson had passed away. A lot of folks from the last couple of generations may not recognize the name right off, but they have certainly heard the songs he’s written. Songs like “Me and Bobby McGee”, “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, and “Help Me Make it Through the Night” are classics that numerous artists have performed through the years.
I grew up with music as I traveled with my dad and he was a big fan of all of The Highwaymen, so their various 8-tracks and cassettes were the soundtrack of those travels. As a small tribute to the country legend, I’m sharing a video from the famous “Highwaymen” tour of 1988, with Kris performing his favorite song of mine, “Loving Her Was Easier”. It’s a great song, performed by Kristopherson with help from Willie Nelson. Kristopherson will be missed by many, but his work and influence will live on forever.
