Michael Streissguth > Quotes

“Kristofferson’s songs, particularly, explored sensual love and desperate negotiations with personal devils in a rambling ballad style that sharply contrasted with the strictly tempered verse that had dominated country music for decades. He engendered a freedom of expression in Nashville’s music business, and, in his wake, other freedoms emerged.”
― Michael Streissguth, Outlaw: Waylon, Willie, Kris, and the Renegades of Nashville
