Kris Kristofferson Border Lord Monument 1972 LP Still Sealed NOS A Classic! Very Rare to find in New, Sealed Condition. Kris Kristofferson's voice is edgy, raw and sexy in these vocals. The guitar is tried and true. This is one of few albums I own that I can listen to & enjoy each and every song. All the songs have lasting replay value. As far as I know, this was the 3rd of Kris Kristofferson's albums and it was the first that was made up of original Kristofferson material. Border Lord proved to be a disappointment sale wise. As I've read the critics say it's the worst of Kristofferson (I disagree). The song "Josie" was the first single released from Border Lord. In my opinion "Josie" isn't near the best song on this album. Of the ten songs, six -- "Josie," "Stagger Mountain Tragedy," "Somebody Nobody Knows," "Little Girl Lost," "Smokey Put the Sweat on Me," and "When She's Wrong" -- were on the subject of women. Probably, the most meaningful song on this album is "Kiss the World Goodbye"- a ballad about coming to terms with one's own death. Among the songs religious & bar room references, the only really new subjects were about life on the road, which was treated in such songs as "Border Lord" and "Gettin' By, High and Strange," an indication that this always confessional songwriter was writing about his current life as a touring musician. Fiction has nothing on reality, as this album proves.
"Little Girl Lost" has to be my favorite song on the whole album. It's a sexy little bittersweet love song. Kris' vocals are the best in this song. Border Lord is THE BEST of Kris Kristofferson!
The 1970's Me and Bobby McGee and 1971's The Silver Tongued Devil and I are stronger overall, but Kristofferson fans shouldn't be without this one. --Dan Epstein
