Released in 1979, Sings Kristofferson is an album of covers of Kris Kristofferson songs sung by Willie Nelson. The album peaked at #5 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart and at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart.

A return to country-rock after the smash success of Stardust the year before, this is one of Willie Nelson’s best albums. Admittedly, it doesn’t withstand comparisons to Shotgun Willie or any of his earlier triumphs, but it holds up as one of his most enjoyable second-stringers. “Me and Bobby McGee” is given an exciting, thunderous performance and “Why Me” is terrific, but perhaps more memorable are Nelson’s renditions of lesser-known Kristofferson treasures, such as the loping “The Pilgrim, Chapter 33” and the beautiful “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” As he demonstrated from the beginning, Nelson had one of the best interpretive gifts of any singer, and this album only strengthened that reputation. –AllMusic Review by Jim Smith
