Mickey Newbury had his hand in the success of several of his contemporaries. Alongside Van Zandt, Newbury influenced the songwriting sensibilities of his friend Kris Kristofferson. He even helped his career get off the ground by convincing country artist Roger Miller to record Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" that would easily become the songwriter's most famous work. This eventually led to other artists covering his songs and, in time, to the release of Kris's debut album Kristofferson in 1970.
Here is the discography surrounding Kris Kristofferson's debut album:
Golden Line (1967 single)
Kristofferson
