    Lovin Him Was Easier – Rosanne sings Kris

    rosanne cash

    ‘Tis a good thing to hear a well written, beautifully sung song. The words of Kris Kristofferson and the voice of Rosanne Cash come together quite nicely in “Lovin’ Him Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)”. The song (“Lovin’ HER” was the original) first appeared on Kristofferson’s 1971 album The Silver Tongued Devil & I, and has since been covered by the likes of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, and even Tina Turner.

    Just a nice song that’s prompted me to pick up this tribute to Kristofferson.

    It’s Grandaddy Time

    Want to put a little charge in your day? Listen to Grandaddy‘s version of “Best of All Possible Worlds.” It was written by Kris Kristofferson and released on his debut album back in 1970.

    If you haven’t heard of Grandaddy, I’ll be posting some more of their stuff soon. “Solar powered space pop” is how their All Music bio starts. This song is a pretty straight-ahead country rocker that’ll put a smile and sneer on your face. Enjoy. Oh and of course, see Grandaddy’s site here.
