Kris wrote the great songs. This and so many others that others sang. Janis Joplin and Johnny Cash but Kris wrote them from his experience. But people forget that he sat down and wrote them. Help Me make it Though The Night, Me and Bobby MGee. Sunday Morning Coming Down, Why Me Lord. Every one remembles who sang his songs but not the guy who lived them.
agreed on his voice. It was better a few yrs ago but the years etc have taken its toll. I will say however that without Kris there would be a void in country music. nuff said.
@marydwyer14119 Waylon talks about it in his autobiography. The Highwayman sound board guy, Jack Clement, was instructing Willie to "sing on the beat" telling him "you start in last week and you wind up in next week" and Willie replied "fuck you, Jack" and then later Jack pissed off Willie again. Willie asked Waylon if he sings Good Hearted Woman too fast. Waylon says yes but Jack isn't the guy to tell him. Willie has Waylon fire Jack. Kris smokes a joint with Willie and Willie forgives Jack.
@oaklandfla Without Kris Kristofferson, counrty and rock music would not sound as good as it does. He has written a lot of great songs for himself and other musicians. I agree he is one of the most underappreciated singers and songwriters of all time.
They all are stars, No, we all are stars. I think the Highwaymen should continue just as the song says. There are more peeps that can stand in for those who have gone to the other side and see where it will grow.
@4saturdaychild1 There is only one Highwaymen group: Johnny, Waylon, Willie and Kris. Just like there is only one Traveling Wilburys: Bob, Roy, George, Tom and Jeff.
Where's Waylon? I only see the other three.

The song is great, but I wonder about one thing:
why does Willie pronounce the word "end" like "yend". Is that kind of Texas slang? I don't know, I'm from Poland.
