  • Twentyfour Al Di Meola
  • NYT Amplifier suggested playlist of Kris Kristofferson covers*
  • 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
