About this album

Jesus Was A Capricorn is one of Kris Kristofferson’s most distinctive early albums, bringing his hard-edged songwriting, country roots and folk protest instincts into clear focus. Released in 1972, it features some of his best-known writing, including Why Me and Help Me, and helped confirm him as far more than a Nashville writer-for-hire. The record moves between plainspoken balladry, spiritual questioning and wry social observation, with Kristofferson’s weathered voice giving the material extra bite. Its blend of country, folk rock and country rock made it a key statement in the era when Nashville storytelling met countercultural scepticism.
