Kris Kristofferson changed the songwriting landscape in Nashville when he arrived in the late sixties. In recent years the Rhodes Scholar has been known more for his acting roles than songwriting. The release of this collection aims to remind the world that Kristofferson is one of America's greatest songwriters. Kristofferson friends Willie Nelson, Rosanne Cash, Jessi Colter, Shooter Jennings, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell revive Kristofferson favorites here, along with surprise performances by country star Gretchen Wilson, R&B soulmaker Brian McKnight, Latino beauty Marta Gomez, and Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe.

Alanna Nash, author of The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley, Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch, and Dolly: The Biography is a wonderful friend of American Roots Publishing and its goals. To show her support, Alanna donated copies of her book Behind Closed Doors: Talking with the Legends of Country Music to help us raise funds for our ongoing initiatives to celebrate American culture through music, literature and art.
Publishers Weekly says: "Behind Closed Doors offers brief biographical profiles of and conducts Q & A interviews with 27 popular performers, from the octogenarian 'King of Country Music' Roy Acuff to Tammy Wynette, the 'Heroine of Heartbreak.' Nash asks knowledgable, penetrating questions and leads the singers into intimate areas with ease. Many speak with refreshing candor. Wynette: 'Acting is a very special talent. One that I don't think I have.' The late Marty Robbins: 'I love attention... My ears are tuned for the name Marty Robbins.' Brenda Lee: 'I grew up not really knowing who or what I was. I was what I read I was.' Charley Pride: 'I don't have skin hang-ups. I'm no color. I'm just Charley Pride, the man.' Loretta Lynn: 'I've had so many death threats that I don't get out of the bus that much.' Minnie Pearl reveals the hurtful experiences that led to the creation in 1936 of her comedy character. She also notes the 'special type of camaraderie that exists among country music performers.' Fans will delight in this hefty volume, replete with integrity, earthy banter and engaging anecdotes that capture the twang of their favorite honkytonk heroes and heroines."
