Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson is one of country music's most illustrious singer-songwriters. Seemingly destined for a distinguished military career, ex-Golden Gloves boxer and Rhodes scholar Kristofferson gave it all up to sweep floors in Nashville, began to pitch his songs to his musical heroes and finally became a star himself. Stephen Miller's biography perfectly captures the spirit of a single-minded but multi-talented man who has been inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. It details the 100 films Kristofferson has been in to date and talks about the people who he worked with including Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan to Barbra Streisand and Martin Scorcese and Sam Peckinpah. The story if brought right up to date as Kristofferson carries on working following heart bypass surgery and the death of his friends and fellow performers including Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen and Waylon Jennings.
