Min gamle vän Per Helge hade under årets gran placerat en ny cd: Kris Kristoffersons Feeling Mortal. Här en inspelning med titelspåret. Skivan är i sin helhet mycket övertygande.
"At 76 years old, Kris Kristofferson is feeling his years. "I've begun soon to descend, like the sun into the sea," he admits on his new album, Feeling Mortal, a collection of immaculately observed originals with a similar autumnal glow to his friend Johnny Cash's American Recordings covers. Feeling Mortal finds Kristofferson embracing mortality with contentment, not regret, so it's a mystery why its songs don't feature in his live set" skriver Guardian. Läs hela texten här.
Och här en intervju med honom kring skivan.
