He's not a great guitar or mouth harp player and doesn't have a great voice, but he's a great songwriter and entertainer. Ronnie Hawkins was in the audience and seemed to be having a great time. We came home and put on The Silver Tongued Devil album. We hadn't listened to it in years. I notice he has a woman singer doing back-up vocals on The Taker. The album notes list her as The Lady. Is this Joan Baez? It sounds like her. My wife thought it might be Rita, but I don't. Also, was BLACK & BLUE written about Janis? |

I think also that country music in rock arenas was quite rare in those days and that also contributed to his less than warm welcome. Kris is a brilliant performer and also a fine actor and I would reccomend the Film Lone Star directed by John Sayles in which he plays a prominent role. |
