The legendary Kris Kristofferson passed away on Sunday, prompting an outpouring of tributes, including one from fellow country artist Eric Church.
Eric Church had a close friendship with Kristofferson, with many photographs of the two available on Getty Images. A simple search on YouTube reveals Church participating in a tribute concert for Kristofferson and collaborating alongside Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. To honor their connection, Church has released a previously unreleased track titled “Kickin’ It With Kristofferson.” As highlighted by Rolling Stone, Church has shared a demo version of this song, referred to as a “worktape” in the upload on YouTube. The track encapsulates that nostalgic essence often found in Church’s softer ballads.
