Kris Kristofferson had been making music for more than 30 years when he went into the studio with producer Fred Mollin to cut The Austin Sessions, and the 1999 Atlantic album is a rich reflection of that history. Joined by a band of L.A. and Nashville studio aces and some high-profile guest stars (Jackson Browne, Mark Knopfler, Steve Earle, Vince Gill and Alison Krauss among them), Kristofferson revisits some of his most famous songs, including “Me And Bobby McGee,” “For The Good Times” and “Help Me Make It Through The Night.” His weathered vocals fit these classics perfectly, and the stripped-down arrangements are in many ways superior to the original versions. Rhino's new Expanded Edition of The Austin Sessions includes unreleased outtakes of “Best Of All Possible Worlds” and “Jody And The Kid” to complete this portrait of outlaw country's greatest storyteller.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
