Kris Kristofferson: The Road From Rhodes

Jacoba Atlas, Circus, October 1970

Now thirty-four, the singer has been everything from a Rhodes Scholar to an oil driller and back again. Intensely uncomfortable on stage, he is not coping well at all with his sudden recognition and acclaimed album, Kris Kristofferson (Monument).
