Following the death of Kris Kristofferson on Saturday (September 28), Eric Church has shared his previously unreleased song, “Kickin’ It With Kristofferson,” to honor the country music legend.

Church’s song is the soundtrack to his deeply moving Instagram video that features personal clips of the two country musicians hanging out backstage and performing together on stage, along with glimpses of their families spending time together.
