Annotation

"Gild edged gratitude certificates are being issued to Kris Kristofferson for overcoming his reluctance to record, thus making this album possible. To Johnny Cash for his sensitive annotation, and general inspiration. To Jerry Kennedy, whose birth-sign is Leo, and who is Mercury Records' top ion in Nashville, for his peerless guitar picking, and his overall creative contributions. And also to Shel Siverstein who got a lot of phone calls, and had the decency to return them whenever he showed up."

Originally released in 1970 under the title "Kristofferson"

Manufactured and distributed by CBS Records.
