All of RepossessedKris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson (1936-2024) was a singer, songwriter, and actor from Brownsville, Texas who became a central figure in outlaw country music. He wrote some of the most covered songs in country music history before recording his own albums, and he balanced his music career with a long run as a film actor. His writing leaned toward raw, personal storytelling rather than the polished Nashville mainstream.
