Kris Kristofferson is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He was born on June 22, 1936 in Brownsville, Texas. Known for his iconic compositions such as "Me And Bobby McGee," "For The Good Times," and "Help Me Make It Through the Night," Kristofferson has established himself as both a respected recording artist and songwriter.

In 2004, he was honored with induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Despite his success in the country music scene, Kristofferson's left-wing views have made him somewhat of a misfit among his peers.

Throughout his personal life, Kris Kristofferson has been married twice. His second marriage was to Rita Coolidge from 1973 to 1980. Since 1983, he has been married to Lisa Kristofferson (formerly Meyers), with whom he shares five children including their daughter Kelly Marie Kristofferson.

New West Records is a rock-oriented independent label that was founded in 1997. With a focus on alternative, indie, country, and folk music, this US-based label has established itself as a powerhouse in the industry. Headquartered in Los Angeles and Austin TX, New West Records also exclusively represents the renowned PBS Television program Austin City Limits. Known for their commitment to showcasing both archival and current performances, this label releases an impressive range of music on DVD and CD formats.

Recorded live on September 15, 1981, Live At Gilley’s captures Kris Kristofferson at a time in his career where he and his band were firing on all cylinders. Kristofferson was with a full band out of the road that featured Stephen Bruton, Donnie Fritts and Billy Swan. On this night, the band stopped by Gilley’s Honkytonk in Pasadena, Texas to deliver a one in a lifetime performance featuring the hits, “Me And Bobby McGee”, “The Pilgrim” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.” “What a great album this is! Classic Kristofferson songs throughout, and live!! Kris was in his prime and his vocals were outstanding and very soulful as always.” - George Strait “Kris Kristofferson was such an amazing songwriter, a great performer, and was a good match for our crowd. It was totally jam-packed every night, but we’d have an especially big crowd whenever an artist like Kris would come to town.” - Mickey Gilley
