Well, three more of Kris' songs from the Highwaymen concert "live from Nassau", that made me fell in love so badly with Kris' music.

It's available on DVD.

Some scenes even made me smile. Watch closely...

Kris must tell Willie to start singing,

"IT'S YOUR TURN, WILLIE!!!..."

Then watch them both laughing :-)

This song is on Kris' album Easter Island (1978)

Living legend (1978)

Was it bitter then with our backs against the wall?

Were we better men than we'd ever been before?

Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?

Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore?

We were simple men by her side when she was born

It was simple then like the freedom when you fall

And we were smaller then, you see, but soon we gathered like a storm.

They don't understand what that thunder meant at all.

Was he crucified? Was he done in by the lawman?

Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again?

Some people say he got away; they say he never died at all.

If that story's true, does it bother you, my friend?

Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall?

Were we better men than we'd ever been before?

Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?

Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore?

I met Kris the other day. He was kind, humble and gracious. I told him I felt this was his best song, arguably the greatest song of all time. He said, "Hell, I don't even remember that one." So I started the lines to remind him, he follows me with "... with our backs against the wall?" I was so glad to get him to ask "would you still answer to the call?" to which I could finally answer, "Yes!" I told him he had given voice to the soul of the revolution. He said, "I have to look that one up."

...yes, we germans, swiss and austrian people of course listen to your country music - but our kind of "country-music" has quite a different sound compared to your's......
