This Old Road

This Old Road is an album by Kris Kristofferson, released in 2006 on New West Records.

The underlying theme of the record is a retrospective and reflective look at what Kristofferson deems to have been important elements of his life.

The original recording of "This Old Road" was released on Repossessed, "The Final Attraction" appeared on Music from Songwriter and the original version of "The Burden of Freedom" appeared on Border Lord.

Allmusic's Thom Jurek gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and called it a "welcome comeback" for Kristofferson, who he felt had improved "considerably" as a singer: "Kristofferson is dead-on here, razor-sharp, economical in his language, and to the bone in his insight.

"[1] By contrast, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice graded it a "dud",[3] indicating "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought.
