• 16 Biggest Hits Kris Kristofferson

*The New York Times has many newsletters for its subscribers. The Amplifier emails on Tuesdays and Fridays with a suggested playlist of 7-12 songs unified by some theme: songs of summer 2024; best songs from the movies of 1999; the “ultimate” outlaw country primer; and this one themed on Kristofferson because of his recent demise. Many are a bit too modern for my taste, but Kristofferson’s songs changed Nashville, according to none other than Bob Dylan. The suggested covers were:

• “Help Me Make It Through the Night” by Gladys Knight & the Pips
• “For the Good Times” by Al Green
• “Sunday Morning Coming Down” by Johnny Cash
• “To Beat the Devil” by Waylon Jennings
• “Why Me” by Merle Haggard
• “They Killed Him” by Bob Dylan
• “Nobody Wins” by Rita Coolidge
• “Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)” by Willie Nelson
• “The Hawk” by Tom Verlaine
• “Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin
