Kris will sing on the next Todd Snider album, Snider said in a recent
interview with The Chatanooga Pulse.
The interview, which is highly entertaining, also quotes Snider on what it was like when Kris asked him to sing at his Country Music Hall of Fame Induction.
"I have every album and know every word," Snider said. "He’s very much a hero and, to be honest, that was one of the best nights of my life sitting in a room with Guy Clarke, John Prine, and Billy Joe Shaver—waiting to go on and wondering how the fuck I got in this room."

Kris was named the 2007 Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Artist in Residence, which means he'll play a pair of shows there this August.
"Few artists can legitimately wear the mantle of 'living legend,'" museum director Kyle Young said in a
story posted on Great American Country. "But Kris Kristofferson embodies the phrase."
The show dates are Aug. 14 and 15 at the Museum's Ford Theatre.
Tickets, which are $40 each with a limit of two per customer for each show, will go on sale to Museum members July 9-15. Tickets will go on sale to the public at 9 a.m. on July 16, at the Museum’s box office or by calling (615) 416-2001. One-year Museum memberships are $25 for adults or $10 for youths.
Posting again
Hey all,
Sorry for the lack of updates - things have been very busy lately and I just haven't had the time. But there's plenty of Kris news out there, so I'm going to try and start updating again.
But if anyone out there is interested in helping out, I'd love to have someone else join the Chapter33 team and spot and post Kris news to the site. E-mail me at glesnick@gmail.com if you're interested...
Thanks for reading -Gavin
