Culled from an evening that also included Suzanne Vega and Victoria Williams, there was perhaps no other pairing more perfectly suited to the In Their Own Words platform than this singular meeting of Lou Reed and Kris Kristofferson. As much a course in music history and songwriting as a performance, and years before VH1’s Storytellers series, Allan Pepper and Vin Scelsa’s In Their Own Words series afforded the audience a window into the minds of their favorite songsmiths, in a run that lasted from May of 1990 until March of 2003.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eThe two songsmiths in question were born and raised in two very different worlds - Lou Reed in the jungles of New York City and Kris Kristofferson in the heart of the Southland. Still, both men demanded total artistic freedom and created raw, brutally honest art that addressed strikingly similar issues of struggles – with loneliness and alienation, addiction and recovery, love and loss, good and evil, vulnerability and hopelessness - painfully aware of contradictions and critical of hypocrisy, painting pictures of characters known or imagined, yet always finding the humanity in our faults and weaknesses during our darkest hours. Through the lens of their music, Lou and Kris view the human condition with a sense of humility and no small amount of humor, which was always close at hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eRecorded at the Bottom Line in New York, February 2, 1994\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Vin Scelsa Introduces Lou Reed\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Betrayed\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        VS Introduces Kris Kristofferson\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        Shipwrecked\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        LR on Songwriting\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Legendary Hearts\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        KK on His Childhood \u0026amp; Songwriting\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Sunday Morning Coming Down\/The Pilgrim\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        LR on New York\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC1        Strawman\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC2        KK talks about “Strawman”\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC3        Sam’s Song\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC4        LR on Writing for Wim Wenders\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC5        Why Can’t I Be Good\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC6        LR on Autobiographical Songs\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD1        KK on Nashville\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD2        Help Me Make It Through The Night\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD3        LR on Velvet Underground \u0026amp; Warhol\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD4        Sweet Jane\u003cbr\u003e\r\nE1        KK on Writing\u003cbr\u003e\r\nE2        To Beat The Devil\u003cbr\u003e\r\nE3        LR on Writing Prose\u003cbr\u003e\r\nE4        Romeo Had Juliet\u003cbr\u003e\r\nE5        Burden of Freedom\u003cbr\u003e\r\nF1        KK on “Me and Bobby McGee”\u003cbr\u003e\r\nF2        Me and Bobby McGee\u003cbr\u003e\r\nF3        KK on “Bird On A Wire”\u003cbr\u003e\r\nF4        Bird On A Wire\u003cbr\u003e\r\nF5        Tracks of My Tears\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: THE BOTTOM LINE RECORD COMPANY\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
