After a lengthy period of struggle, Kris Kristofferson achieved remarkable success as a country songwriter at the start of the 1970s. His songs “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” and “For the Good Times,” all chart-topping hits, helped redefine country songwriting, making it more personal and serious. By 1987, it was estimated that Kristofferson’s compositions had been recorded by more than 450 artists.

In addition to numerous nominations, Kristofferson has won 3 Grammys, 2 American Music Awards, a Golden Globe, a Country Music Association Award, the Johnny Mercer Award, and in 2007, CMT’s Johnny Cash Visionary Award.

Kristofferson has been inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Kris Kristofferson has always identified himself first and foremost as a writer, and true writers know that what works best is giving a piece of themselves to the listener. With his latest album, Closer to the Bone, Kristofferson lays a chunk of his own soul on every track.
