Closer to the Bone is the twentieth studio album by Kris Kristofferson. The album was released on September 29, 2009[3] on the New West record label.[9]
Kristofferson has said: ''Closer to the Bone is a reflective album. It's about making sense of life at this end of the game."[10] It was originally entitled Starlight and Stone, but Kristofferson changed it to Closer to the Bone as he felt like it was more descriptive of the meaning of the album: "...the closer to the bone you are and the closer to the truth."[11]
The song, "Good Morning John" was written in the 1970s and is about Johnny Cash.[12] Kristofferson wrote "Sister Sinead" as a tribute to Sinéad O'Connor. The album is dedicated to Stephen Bruton.
