Emmylou kicks off the record with an all-too-sacred version of The Pilgrim. (Hey! It’s only rock ‘n roll!) Rosanne Cash’s Lovin’ Him Was Easier is serviceable but not particularly inspiring; quirky Jill Sobule and Lloyd Cole do a quirky version of For The Good Times, which nearly works (nice try, though); Brian McKnight’s R & B reading of Me and Bobby McGee is creative, but any similarity to the melody of the song is merely coincidental; and Willie Nelson’s The Legend sounds like every other Willie Nelson record. Noteworthy performances include Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis’s version of Help Me Make It Through The Night, Shawn Camp’s Why Me, and the Kristofferson demo of Please Don’t Tell Me How The Story Ends, which caps off the record. Kris deserves better. Skip this and buy one of his.
