The Story
Black & Blue Galaxy Vinyl. Kris Kristofferson was the true country outsider, a man who single-handedly pushed the genre leftward, changing forever the perception of it's songwriters, it's performers and it's message. He was long-haired, anti-war and sang songs with drug use, sex and violence always lurking as dangers in the margins, at a time when Waylon and Willie were wearing sweaters and playing golf on their album covers. He was the outlaw, in a genre that would soon have people recording his songs, and co-opting his vision for a new version of country, to much greater financial success.
