Description:
Released in 1972 on Monument Records, Border Lord came at a time when Kris Kristofferson was juggling his career as both a songwriter and a Hollywood actor. Unlike his earlier records that leaned heavily on polished Nashville arrangements, this album reflected his restless approach to storytelling and his willingness to experiment with darker themes. It was recorded during the height of the “outlaw country” ferment, when Texas and Nashville musicians were beginning to challenge industry norms. The record stands as a snapshot of Kristofferson before his cinematic fame overshadowed his music, rooted in a turbulent period of shifting country traditions.
