5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece, August 19, 2004
These two CD's are wonderful. Third World Warrior is political and I think a masterpiece. It is about U.S. involvement in Central America in the 80's, and it is still relevant today. Kris cuts to the core with truth, his words evoking priceless imagery as always. I wish I had bought it the first time. I wondered how the music could be that good, considering the subject of the songs. Was I pleasantly surprised! The music and words are perfectly paired(more in his rock style with some Latin American touches.) By the way, his spanish accent is mesmerizing. "Aguila Del Norte(Eagle of The North) is powerful and stunning. "Sandinista" is beautiful and uplifting. Every song is great and it all goes together perfectly.

Repossessed is also excellent. It has a varity of great songs on it. "Shipwrecked in the Eighties" for the Vietnam vets is very touching. I like "This Old Road" about living and growing and getting older, it is hopeful and sad at the same time. All the songs are good.

After listening to this set, I couldn't help but think that maybe KK is a modern day prophet. He points out injustice, consequences of actions, suffering of the innocent and downtrodden as he has always done, but in "Love is The Way" he points to God and love as the way. There are other clues. Prophets are often misunderstood and under appreciated. I am pleased to see his spiritual growth showing through. Thanks Kris, for sharing with us.

Kris Kristofferson is without a doubt the best songwriter of our time. I have been a fan from the beginning. Over the years, I have found comfort in his music, words and voice. I know these two CD's will get a lot of play---already have. If you are a fan, don't miss the beauty and power of this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars more stars please, November 17, 2004
By Rohan G. Perera "Granfalloon" (Port Jefferson, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It was another 'poet and a preacher and a problem when he is stoned', Kurt Vonnegut who said, "let your language be the slave of your idea" and this, in a nutshell, is what this album is about. The music, lyrics and voice are still pristine but what knocks me dead after all these years is still his "ideas". The courage and the sacrifice of Kristoffferson to take this path has to be applauded. When many lesser musicians would play safe, Kritofferson has always been true to himself and this leaps out at you in this album. He laughingly admits to being 'distinctly less employable' as he made these songs. Yet he kept on. Kristofferson effortlessly exudes the cool of moonlight. What more can you say of a man who has shown us the nobility of all the blue patches that life has to offer and then goes on to play on the side of all the mistreated forgotten children of other worlds. He does it again and again with stunning effectiveness. Try "Broken freedom Road" (live and exquisite)and "A moment of forever" (more recent).Bless you KK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahead of His Time, August 29, 2004
The only reason these albums were not mega hits upon their first release is that they were too far ahead of their time. Krisofferson's perception and insight are (and always have been) so advanced, that it will take the general public years to conceive the significance and accuracy of his description and predictions. It saddens me to think that Kris himself, probably won't be arround to realize the full impact of his wisdom upon the world. I wish the record company would publicize the release of his material more, so that everyone (not just his enlightened following) would have the opportunity to experience Kris and his truth.
