Moving Pictures Golden Nugget: 1981 Footage of Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson

Posted by Adam Gold on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:19 AM

This awesome 1981 video (via YouTube user jackogreene) titled "The Other Side of Nashville" features interviews with Johnny Cash's floating dome, Kris Kristofferson singing a fantastic living room rendition of "To Beat the Devil" and Willie Nelson musing on the genesis of the term "outlaw country." During Kristofferson's interview he talks about the anti-commercialism of himself and his peers, and about soul in country songwriting. These comments, despite having been made 28 years ago, lead me to call bullshit on his proclaimed "admiration and respect" for Toby Keith. Peep it!
