Third World Warrior is an album by Kris Kristofferson, released on Mercury Records in 1990 (see 1990 in music). It is a concept album composed of topical songs on politics, primarily expressing left-wing support. The album was commercially unsuccessful, due in part to Kristofferson's declining career as a singer and the release of The Highwaymen's second album, Highwayman 2, the week before. On the tribute CD The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson, Country singer Patty Griffin covers the controversial but melodic song Sandinista.
