Light in the Attic

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.

Light In The Attic (LITA) is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington. Established in 2002 by two music enthusiasts, LITA began as a concert productions company before venturing into reissuing lost classics with modern packaging and production. With a passion for preserving and celebrating music history, LITA has become a respected authority in the industry.
Since its inception, LITA has been dedicated to unearthing forgotten gems and giving them new life. Their carefully curated catalog spans various genres and eras, showcasing the diversity of musical talent that may have otherwise been overlooked. From soulful R&B to psychedelic rock, LITA's releases are cherished by collectors and music lovers alike.
With their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality, LITA has gained recognition for their exceptional vinyl reissues.
