Closer To The Bone features Kristofferson on vocals, guitar and harmonica, Don Was on bass, Rami Jaffee on keys, Jim Keltner on drums and longtime friend, the late Stephen Bruton, to whom the album is dedicated, on guitar, mandolin and backing vocals. All lyrics and music were written solely by Kristofferson except “From Here To Forever" which was written in collaboration with Stephen Bruton and Glen Clark.
On November 10, Kristofferson will be honored with the BMI Icon Award at the performing rights organization's 57th annual Country Awards, the oldest awards saluting country's top music makers. The Icon designation is given to BMI songwriters and artists who have had “a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers." Kristofferson, who will be saluted with an all-star musical tribute that evening, joins an elite list of past honorees that includes country music stalwarts Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, Loretta Lynn and last year's honoree Hank Williams, Jr.
