Various Artists - The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson

The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson lovingly cast by Kristofferson's publicist and friend Tamara Saviano and American Roots Publishing VP Tom Frouge, The Pilgrim's 18 songs span the breadth of Kristofferson's career - tendered by an expansive roster of artists including Gretchen Wilson, Russell Crow, Willie Nelson, Brian McKnight, Rosanne Cash and produced by Grammy winner Randy Scruggs.

The Pilgrim offers testament to the truth, timelessness and timeliness of the former Rhodes Scholar, Country Music Hall of Famer and original Outlaw's work. The record features a 1970 demo from Kristofferson of Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends, along with brilliantly written extensive liner notes by The Tennessean music writer Peter Cooper. The Pilgrim is released in honor of Kristofferson's 70th birthday.
