Description
Kris Kristofferson's eponymous debut album appeared in 1970 without much fanfare. Given Kristofferson's unconventionally stark (read "offensive") approach to lyrics and his idiosyncratic (read "lousy") singing voice, it's understandable that Nashville didn't see much commercial potential in this disc.
Then Johnny Cash turned "Sunday Morning Coming Down," the album's closing track, into a huge hit. A few months later, Janis Joplin covered "Me and Bobbie McGee." Sooner than you can say "Oops!," Monument Records re-released the album under the title ME AND BOBBIE McGEE. Two monster hit songs isn't a bad yield for a debut album. ME AND BOBBIE McGEE produced two more than that: "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (a #1 hit for Sammi Smith in 1971), and "For the Good Times" (#1 for Ray Price). But BOBBIE McGEE did more than generate hits: it literally changed the face of country music, redirecting it toward the outlaw movement that dominated the charts for most of the '70s. Once Kristofferson's unflinching songs of drunkenness, betrayal, degradation, and despair struck a chord with country audiences, Eddy Arnold mustn't have seemed very interesting anymore. If you love Willie, Waylon, and Coe, this is a must-have. In 2001, the album was re-released on CD with four bonus tracks.
