The title track \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eJesus Was a Capricorn (Owed to John Prine)\u003c\/span\u003e pays homage to John Prine by borrowing melodic elements and portraying Christ as a sandal-wearing hippie while replying to critics of his prior work, showcasing Kristofferson's admiration for emerging songwriters. A unique highlight is the closing gospel-tinged \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhy Me\u003c\/span\u003e, inspired by a personal moment of gratitude and humility after a religious experience, which became a country gospel standard covered by artists like Elvis Presley. Fan favorites also include \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eNobody Wins\u003c\/span\u003e, later covered by Frank Sinatra on his comeback album, and the duet \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHelp Me\u003c\/span\u003e with Larry Gatlin. The album itself reached No. 1 on the country charts and the single \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhy Me\u003c\/span\u003e hit No. 1 country and No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, both going gold for Kristofferson's greatest commercial success as a solo artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793587990809,"sku":"KZ-31909","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-kris_kristofferson-jesus_was_a_capricorn.jpg?v=1783553284","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/kz-31909","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
