Music reviews of Who's to Bless and Who's to Blame/To the Bone

Music Review: Two Great Ones on a Single Disc
Rating: 5 Stars

These are both two of my favorite Kristofferson albums. "Who's to Bless," from 1975, does have a fair amount of filler, but there is a consistency of sound that unifies the album, and the great tracks are, as always with Kris, must-haves. "Welcome to the Year 2000 (Minus 25)" is well beyond dated at this point, but it's still a great listen with the classic line "I don't give a damn / when I choose to / And you know it don't hurt so bad / when you're high." "Stranger," a mid-Seventies hit for Johnny Duncan, is a fine one-night stand story. And the title track is pure Kristofferson philosophy and swagger.

"To the Bone" went all but unnoticed in 1981, and that's a shame. This is one of Kris's finest efforts, an unflinching examination of pain, romantic disintegration, and divorce. Simple but classic lines abound in the songs -- "Don't give me no more g----mn pain" (Snakebit); "All we have left of our love / is a little girl's laughter" (The Last Time); "I'm back being me again / you're back bein' you / Stronger for the lovin' war / that we've been through." (Nobody Loves Anybody Anymore). Perhaps the most heartbreaking song on the album is "Daddy's Song," where Kris relates the pain of having only partial custody of his daughter. It's a great song, but it sure can be a tough listen sometimes; the honesty hurts.

These albums were released on cd back in the Nineties on the One Way label. Now they're back, and the world is better for it. If you don't have these classic Kristofferson cds, buy them. While you're at it, get the other re-releases too. You won't be sorry.
