Info for The Austin Sessions (Expanded Edition, Remastered)

Im Sommer 1997 verbrachte der 5fache Grammy Gewinner Kris Kristofferson einige Tage in Texas und nahm einige seiner bekanntesten Songs in auf das Nötigste reduzierten Versionen auf. 1999 wurden die Austin Sessions erstmals über Atlantic Records veröffentlicht und zeigten den Outlaw-Country-Songwriter mit einer Band von Studio-Assen und Gast-Backgroundsängern in höchst intimen Versionen von Klassikern wie »Me And Bobby McGee«, „Why Me?“ und „Sunday Morning Coming Down“.

Rhino Records feiert das 20. Jubiläum dieser beeindruckenden Aufnahmen mit einer remasterten und erweiterten Version des Albums, die zwei zusätzliche, bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen enthält.

Einige hochkarätige Gäste waren bei den Aufnahmen dabei, darunter Jackson Browne („Me And Bobby McGee“), Steve Earle („Sunday Morning Coming Down“), Vince Gill („Help Me Make It Through The Night“), Catie Curtis („Nobody Wins“) und Mark Knopfler („Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends“). Zwei Songs, die auf dem Originalalbum ausgelassen wurden, erscheinen jetzt in HighResAudio zum ersten Mal: „Best Of All Possible Worlds“ und „Jodie And the Kid“. Rezensionen

"Nie geht bei der Neuaufnahme der Charme des Originals verloren - gute Songs und große Stimmen altern eben nie." (stereoplay)
