Four of country music's premiere influences over the past five decades, each an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer or instrumentalist in his own right, are the subject of the latest entries in the American Milestones Series.

The albums which comprise this series are Expanded Editions of classic breakthrough LPs by Rodney Crowell, Joe Maphis, and Charlie Rich, along with the 30th anniversary reissue of the debut album by Kris Kristofferson - all featuring rare bonus tracks and new liner note essays to augment the original restored artwork and packaging.
