pWotD Episode 2708: Kris Kristofferson Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,696,188 views on Monday, 30 September 2024 our article of the day is Kris Kristofferson.Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024) was an American country singer, songwriter, and actor.Kristofferson was a pioneering figure in the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, moving away from the polished Nashville sound and toward a more raw, introspective style. He released his debut album Kristofferson in 1970. Among his songwriting credits are "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", all of which became hits for other artists. Kristofferson was also a member of the country music supergroup the Highwaymen between 1985 and 1995. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.During the 1970s, Kristofferson also embarked on a successful career as a Hollywood actor. He became known for his roles in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973), Blume in Love (1973), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), and A Star Is Born (1976); for the latter, he earned a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. His acting career waned somewhat following his role in the box office bomb Heaven's Gate (1980), but he continued to act in films such as Stagecoach (1986), Lone Star (1996), and the Blade film trilogy (1998–2004).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:26 UTC on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Kris Kristofferson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

Kristoffer Kristofferson was an American country singer, songwriter, and actor. Among his songwriting credits are "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", all of which were hits for other artists.

This week, Americana singer-songwriter Waylon Payne talks about Willie's 1970 cover of Joni Mitchell's iconic “Both Sides Now.” Waylon, an NPR-darling as an artist now, grew up in Willie World; his mom, Sammi Smith—of “Help Me Make It Through the Night” fame—played package shows with Willie in the ‘70s; and his dad, Jody Payne, was Willie's lead guitarist for almost forty years. Waylon walks us through all that, describing the way Willie songs were his lullabies as a kid, the incredibly difficult personal trials when he says Willie saved his life, and the time Willie paid his songwriting the highest praise possible. Note: the compliment wasn't remotely suitable for small ears.

Kyle Austin abre hoy el tiempo de TOMA UNO como un ejemplo palpable de la música independiente. Kyle ha sumado todas sus influencias, que llevan del country tradicional casi hasta el punk, para conformar un álbum autoproducido durante la pandemia y en el que ha tocado todos los instrumentos. Out-Law es un álbum que tiene que ver con su nacimiento en Kansas y las enseñanzas de su abuelo músico, que le regaló su primera guitarra con 10 años y le enseñó a tocarla. De esta forma. “Kearny County Kid” es un tema autobiográfico que trata sobre cómo crecer y vivir en un pueblo pequeño con sus aspectos positivos y sus negatividades. Y habla de su abuelo, que fue sheriff de su ciudad natal durante 20 años. Drew Moreland debutó hace un par de años con su álbum homónimo, al que ha dado continuación ahora con el EP Feeling Good Again, un título tomado de una canción de Robert Earl Keen. Era una canción que ha venido utilizando para abrir sus actuaciones en la escena tejana a la que pertenece. Es una forma de dar la bienvenida a los honky tonks y bares a los que ahora no se puede asistir, con pocas esperanzas de volver pronto. "I've Got Faith in You" es un tema cariñoso y optimista que forma parte del nuevo proyecto de Randall Bramblett, Pine Needle Fire, que aparecerá a mediados de noviembre. Es una especie de salvavidas sonoro para combatir el abatimiento y la angustia por situaciones tan complicadas como las actuales, aunque el veterano artista de Georgia compuso la canción años antes del aislamiento actual. Randall Bramblett tiene una trayectoria de cuatro décadas componiendo, grabando y tocando con artistas como Steve Winwood, Bonnie Raitt, o Gregg Allman, entre otros. Para este nuevo proyecto ha podido contar con viejos amigos e incluso con la mítica guitarra Gibson SG de Duane Allman para el solo de slide que en “I’ve Got Faith In You” protagoniza su viejo amigo Tommy Talton. Blue Eyes, The Harlot, The Queer, The Pusher & Me es uno de los álbumes que se nos quedará en la memoria cuando recordemos lo mejor de 2020 dentro del terreno de la Americana. Lo firma Waylon Payne, hijo de Jody Payne, el que fuera guitarrista de Willie Nelson durante años, y de Sammi Smith, que llevó a la cima de las listas su versión de "Help Me Make It Through the Night" de Kristofferson. Su faceta de compositor ha sido siempre muy apreciada, además de sus trabajos como actor. En este trabajo es una especie de viaje a través de su propia vida, con referencias a las turbias relaciones familiares, los estragos de la adicción, la desesperación y la esperanza final. Así podemos recrearnos es "Back from the Grave", con una tonalidad cercana al góspel con ritmo contagioso que celebra el regreso de la oscuridad casi claustrofóbica de la desesperación. Es pura emoción humana, buscando destellos de luz. El pedal steel es el protagonista de “Who I Am”, una de las canciones que los seguidores de Waden Bowen solían escuchar en directo, pero que nunca había sido recogida en un estudio de grabación. Y ha sido la situación de aislamiento provocada por la pandemia la que ha llevado al músico tejano a tejer un Ep de seis canciones que ha llamado The Waiting y ha lanzado casi por sorpresa. “Who I Am” es una canción de amor llena de sentimiento que solía interpretar junto a su banda West 84 y que solía tocar en el Blue Light, situado en la Buddy Holly Ave de la tejana Lubbock. Otra de las buenas noticias de estas fechas es la unión de Brandy Clark y Brandi Carlile para regalarnos una nueva canción de forma inesperada. Se trata de "Same Devil", donde afirman que todo el mundo tiene algún tipo de infierno, solo que en diferentes niveles y donde abordan temas de drogadicción, sexualidad reprimida, distintas creencias y la política legislativa. En realidad las dos artistas conectaron por Zoom para conseguir un resultado lleno de armonía dentro de una tonalidad profunda y a veces oscura. Manteniendo el nivel de sorpresas, Ashley Campbell sigue preparando intensamente su nuevo álbum, Something Lovely, que dará continuación a The Lonely One, su debut de hace dos años. La joven artista de Phoenix, en Arizona, lo ha grabado en el sótano casero en tan solo 10 días contando con un invitado sorpresa como Vince Gill, que hace los coros vocales en "If I Wasn’t", una canción profundamente sentimental sobre la incertidumbre que Ashley compuso junto a Chris Roberts y Jabe Beyer. Elizabeth Cook es posiblemente una de las personas más impredecibles de la escena de la country music. Con una capacidad excepcional para reinventarse, suele afirmar que sus canciones son una especie de catolicismo hillbilly, contando sus propias experiencias con una explosiva libertad. Nacida y criada en una granja familiar de Wildwood, en Florida, se mudó a Nashville hace casi 20 años. Aftermath es su nueva apuesta, manteniendo con tenacidad sus compromisos y supone una especie de renacimiento en el que cualquiera puede encontrar algo con lo que se sienta relacionado. “Stanley By God Terry” es, además, un delicioso regalo sonoro. Cada vez está más cerca la publicación de Wildflowers & All The Rest para cerrar el círculo de aquella creación de Tom Petty en 1994 que se vio limitada por imperativos de su sello discográfico. Así se pueden recuperar canciones no conocidas hasta ahora como “Confusión Wheel”, donde comparte como se ha convertido en alguien lleno de inseguridades y desconfianzas, aunque esa racha dará pasó a momentos felices. Todo ello arropado por sonidos de folk-rock. Mike Campbell y Benmont Tench, miembros de los Heartbreakers han participado en el nuevo álbum de Chris Stapleton, Starting Over, uno de los registros más esperados en esta temporada. Será el cuarto de su carrera en solitario y verá la luz a mediados de noviembre, aunque en TOMA UNO podemos compartir ya canciones como "Cold", una pieza llena de tristeza donde el piano y las cuerdas adquieren un protagonismo vital que recuerda mucho las formas en que suele conformar sus canciones Elton John. Once canciones nuevas y tres versiones, de "Joy of My Life" de John Fogerty y "Old Friends" y "Worry B Gone" de Guy Clark, componen esta nueva entrega del artista de Kentucky que ha contado con la producción de Dave Coob, la base de ritmo de su banda de acompañamiento, el apoyo de su mujer, Morgane Stapleton y el legendario guitarrista Paul Franklin. Bruce Springsteen acaba de cumplir 71 años y tiene terminado su reencuentro con la E Street Band en el álbum Letter To You. "Ghosts" es posiblemente una de las canciones más personales del nuevo registro, recuperando el poderío y la energía de sus comienzos, en una clara referencia a los Castiles, su primer grupo a nivel profesional.

Japan [00:49] "All Tomorrow's Parties" All Tomorrow's Parties Hansa 1218 1983 Well, it's certainly of a time. Originally recorded in 1979, this Steve Nye remix was released in 1983. Benny Goodman Sextet [06:05] "Flying Home" All-Time Greatest Hits Columbia KG 31547 1972 From one of the many, many Columbia retreads of Goodman's material, we have Lionel Hampton's signature tune "Flying Home" featuring solos by both Hampton and pioneer electric-guitarist Charlie Christian. Willie Nelson [09:25] "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" Always on My Mind Columbia FC 37951 1983 I was really hoping Willie's rendition of the Aretha Franklin classic would well, not be a weak early 80s arrangement. But there ya have it. Ya can't win 'em all. The Decemberists [12:23] "Valerie Plame" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 1: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-074 2008 Ah, a single from simpler political times. The Decemberists [18:26] "Days of Elaine" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 2: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-075 2008 A snappy little number from Mr. Meloy and Co. This single also features a cover of VU's I'm Sticking with You. The Decemberists [22:55] "Record Year of Rainfall" Always the Bridesmaid, Vol. 3: A Singles Series Jealous Butcher/Y.A.B.B. Records JB-076 2008 Sure wish we were having a record year for rainfall here in Sonoma County. Brian Eno [27:26] "2/2" "Ambient 1: Music for Airports PVC/Ambient Records 7908 AMB001 1978 Ground breaking ambient music from Mr. Eno with this track engineered by krautrock/kosmiche impresario Conny Plank. Hermes Nye [37:49] "Bonnie & Clyde" American Folk Music (The Life Treasury of) LIFE L1001 1961 Jiminy jilligers... those are some sympathetic sentiments right there. Neil Young [40:48] "Hold Back the Tears" American Stars 'n Bars Reprise MSK 2261 1977 Linda Ronstadt and Nicolette Larson on backing vox, Ben Keith on pedal steel. All fine stuff on this track. Other tracks on this album featured Crazy Horse, and of course Star of Bethlehem with Emmylou Harris. Made it to number 21 on the top 200. Oh, and the awesome cover art by none other than Dean Stockwell. Silver Jews [45:08] "Smith & Jones Forever" American Water Drag City DC149 1998 Recorded at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, the late great Dave Berman created another wondrous record. Michael Nesmith [48:28] "Different Drum" And the Hits Just Keep Comin' RCA Victor LSP-4695 Michael Nesmith and Red Rhodes with a post-First National Band release. Mighty fine in its simplicity. Brian Eno [52:43] "I'll Come Running" Another Green World Polydor Deluxe 2302 069 1975 Yes, more Eno. This time it's Pop Eno. So many great tracks to choose from this 1975 album, but I've always loved this kinda goofy number featuring Robert Fripp on "restrained lead guitar". Gladys Knight and the Pips [56:32] "Help Me Make It Through the Knight" Anthology Motown M792S2 1973 I saw this song listed on the back of the album and thought, wow... I need to hear this version. And now you have too! This rendition made it to number 33 on the Hot 100. The Supremes [01:00:57] "Baby Love" Anthology Motown M9-794A3 1974 Once again, sometimes you just have to go with the classics, like this number one smash hit from 1964. Dean Hurley [01:03:32] "Edge of Known" Anthology Resource Vol. II: Philosophy of Beyond Sacred Bones Records SBR-225 2019 Like many folks, I was introduced to the work of Dean Hurley through his sonic contribution to Twin Peaks: The Return and was instantly enthralled. This is the second collection of thematic soundscapes, dealing with what lies beyond the veil. Music behind the DJ: "Dance with Domino" by John Barry

Hey. It's Me. A great singer cannot be limited to a singular style, like jazz or country. Singer, recording artist and actress Renee Olstead is an example of this. Known by many for nostalgic interpretations of American Songbook standards, the Texas-born Olstead is exploring the emotional sounds of country music. Her latest single "Help Me Make It Through the Night" is generating considerable excitement on the internet.The thing that is intriguing about Renee Olstead is how versatile she is. You could imagine her fitting in effortlessly on the set of a movie in LA, behind the microphone at a jazz club or a smoky Honky-tonk. Well, we're just glad she thought she'd fit in here on The Paul Leslie Hour. Support The Paul Leslie Hour by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/the-paul-leslie-hour

"How'd you like to wake up in the morning and be him?"The Next Reel's Speakeasy is an ongoing series of ours in which we invite an industry guest to join us and bring along one of their favorite movies to talk about. In this month's episode, cinematographer Sam Levy joins us to talk about one of his favorite films, John Huston's 1972 boxing film Fat City. We talk about the depressing story presented here as these characters try to reach the good life and why some of us can connect easier to it than others. We look at the incredible (and incredibly dark) cinematography by Conrad L. Hall and discuss the importance of a cinematographer getting to time their own film. We chat about the brilliant cast, from the actors like Stacy Keach, Jeff Bridges, Susan Tyrrell and Nicholas Colasanto; to the real-life boxers like Curtis Cokes and Sixto Rodriguez. We discuss Kris Kristofferson's song “Help Me Make It Through the Night” and why it works so well in this movie. And we touch on what critics thought of the movie compared with how it did at the box office. John Huston was at a period in his career where he'd been making some duds so it's great to see him return to top form with Fat City. It's a master class in cinematic realism and a boxing film well worth watching and discussing.

Holt was born in Kingston in 1947.  He recorded his first single in 1963 with "I Cried a Tear" for record producer Leslie Kong, and also recorded duets with Alton Ellis. He achieved prominence in his home country as lead singer of The Paragons and they cut a succession of singles for Duke Reid at his Treasure Isle Studio and enjoyed a string of hits, including "Ali Baba", "Tonight", "I See Your Face", and the Holt penned "The Tide Is High" (later made famous by Blondie and also covered by Atomic Kitten). "Wear You to the Ball" was another of his hits with The Paragons, and hit the charts again when U-Roy added a Deejay verse to it. During his time with the Paragons, he also recorded solo material for Studio One (including "Fancy Make-up", "A Love I Can Feel", "Let's Build Our Dreams" and "OK Fred") and Prince Buster ("Oh Girl", and "My Heart Is Gone"). Holt left the Paragons in 1970. By the early 1970s, he was one of the biggest stars of reggae, and his "Stick By Me" was the biggest selling Jamaican record of 1972, one of a number of records recorded with producer Bunny Lee. His 1973 album, Time Is The Master, was successful, with orchestral arrangements recorded in London. The success of the string-laden reggae led to Trojan Records issuing a series of similarly arranged albums produced by Bunny Lee starting with the 1,000 Volts of Holt in 1973, a compilation of Holt's reggae cover versions of popular hits (and later followed by similarly named releases up to 3,000 Volts of Holt). 1,000 Volts spawned the UK Top 10 hit "Help Me Make It Through the Night" (written by Kris Kristofferson), which peaked at number 6,[2] and included covers of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and "Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross. http://en.wikipedia.org
