Who didn't see this coming?

The "Yeah, Man!" for this week is a the new release from songwriter legend Kris Kristofferson, This Old Road. This recording is bare bones. No polish, no smoothing the wrinkles of almost 70 years. Kristofferson is reflective about his life, his spirituality, his children, and his politics.This Don Was production is being touted by ROLLING STONE as his greatest work.

I am enthralled by him. He speaks the words of a father, a lover, a friend, a teacher. "Look at that old photograph. Is it really you?" The fist line of the first song sets the stage for this poet's journal. From the introspective creed of Pilgrim's Progress to the bluesy addiction recount of Chase the Feeling, you will be blown away by his words and imagry.

This record is an education.
