One
of those records in which Kris Kristofferson takes on the 70s, and comes up with a sound and style that's completely his own – even when working within the mainstream
of the time! His label, Monument, could do plenty
of hokey stuff – and even arranger Bill Justis wasn't always the hippest
of cats – nor producer Fred Foster. Yet working here, they all rise to the occasion under the majesty
of the man's music – a soaring batch
of original tunes,
of that special sort that Kris was always keeping to himself after his early years writing hits for others. Titles include "Why Me", "Give It Time To Be Tender", "It Sure Was Love", "No
body Wins", "Enough For You", and the title cut "Jesus Was A Capricorn", owed to John Prine!
