And during the second hour of  Stew, we’ll remember and celebrate the life and music of the late Kris Kristofferson.

From the Mulligan Stew archives we replay the Kris Kristofferson interview we did  2006 backstage at Calgary Folk Festival.

Answering media questions, including my own:

Kris talks about Johnny Cash, Willie and his sons, Hank Williams, movies, performing solo, the Nashville Underground,  songwriters these days John Prine, Todd Snider, and Shooter Jennings, and how nervous he gets singing for 12,000 people.
