Chris Hillman deserves credit for his influence in the same genre. It’s a tragedy Gram didn’t get sober and live a long, productive life. But his demons won out. Brass Buttons is a stunning song.
Gram had a short but interesting life starting w his family history in Winterhaven. So much has been written about Gram. His life and death is something to read about even if you aren't familiar w him. Alot of good music in a short time
I was getting ready to run some errands and I saw Gram Parsons name pop up and decided to stick around. Thanks for sharing. I think Gram would have approved. This channel is a treasure.
Thanks for pointing people to the visionary genius of Gram Parsons. IMO his recordings with Emmylou Harris are some of the greatest duet performances in the history of country music.✌🏽
Gram Parson was one of the greats who died too soon. Yet, he did create an incredible catalog in such a short time. The tribute album and the program from Sessions at West 54th Street introduced me to Gram. I have been hooked ever since. I learned most of his songs. I wish they would release the entire Sessions at West 54th Street on video. It includes a cover of Wheels that wasn’t on the album. It is as good as music gets.
Mr S. Thank you so much for running with this one as it was I that bought the Return of the Grievous Angel album and started all this. He seems a bit like van Gogh in that he has become huge and well respected way after his demise. Thank you once again from the UK Sklarites. We are behind you, have no fear.
I have the pleasure of playing bass every Friday afternoon with drummer Jon Corneal, Gram’s high school band mate who played with the Byrds (Sweetheart of the Rodeo), ISB, and FBB.
With the Flying Burrito Brothers, he released (before the Stones) the original version of "Wild Horses" (which features a great piano solo by Leon Russell).
One of my favorites is Gram Parson and his work. The tribute album mentioned is played often in our house. His work with Keith Richards in France during the making of Exile on Main Street is well noted. To live in today’s horror is unprecedented in history and media. Not an easy time to be conscious.
As for the pandemic, it is now noted that risk is for the elderly and immune compromised such as asthma Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes, and more are now high and growing. Are these people now expendable because many want to return to a pre-pandemic life style?
Today’s track has an infectiously bouncy feel. The Californian County Rock sound that Gram Parsons was involved with was highly influential to emerging Australian Bands of the time like Spectrum, Dingoes and Stars.
Thank you Leland for introducing Gram Parson's influence onto those who are going to seek him out discover how far ahead of his time he was, even if it was short. I remember Richie Furay saying that he asked Gram to show him the chords and how to play Brass Buttons and soon afterward Poco came out with the album Crazy Eyes and Brass Buttons was on the recording. By the way, what a Beautiful song that Richie and the guys did to pay tribute to Gram. Richie's title track Crazy Eyes has been associated in reference to Gram Parsons. Now I'm going to see if I can fetch that cd you talked about and probably buy it. I can hear my wife now, oh, another cd in the mail. Yep! that's right. Always loved Chris Hillman's voice and songs also. Have a Great weekend Folks. Love to All. Doug
@@terriqueen3315 Oh my, No, I'm just fascinated to this day the recording Poco did in 1973. I'm still in question as to what Richie Furay had in mind when he titled this song

Just talking w someone (Hans) about this album yesterday. It's not surprising, Leland that you played on it. Great album. Cosmic american music. Produced by Herb Peterson, as I just learned
Good to be back! I have been in LA (Sherman Oaks) for the last 4 weeks and flew back home last night! I have a bit of catching up to do! Looking forward to all of it!
I have enjoyed hearing him singing with Emmy. Enjoyed listening to an older guy friend's Flying Burrito Brothers album. So far everything I've heard off this album, is good. Not heard it all, but might go hunting the rest of it down after I make myself finish some offline homework. Meanwhile. 💖
This music is strictly at the intersection of Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakum and Gram Parsons, with some Bernie Leadon and Chris Hillman thrown in for good measure.
Great video today! Just wanted to tell you today that I saw Jimmy Buffet in concert in VA Beach last night and a musician you have mentioned was in his band. Mac Macanally. Not sure if I am spelling that right. Great show and Mac was really good!!
@@Mark_Brooks This makes me think of the first time my family was in Colorado, in summer of 71. One specific Boulder encounter that was in that little circular park down at the end of Pearl. We ended up moving out there two years later.
I was just listening to "The Flying Burrito Brothers Live featuring Gram Parsons" from 1969 today. I love how he harmonizes with Chris Hillman. This is a two-CD set on Amoeba Records. I'm also currently reading the David Meyer bio "Twenty Thousand Roads: The Ballad of Gram Parsons and His Cosmic American Music."
My memory is that album was released in 2000? I bought it then anyway. Was living in the Nashville area & it REALLY is Music City. I was always hearing new music while I lived there. I've LOTS of albums in my collection from those days!
Hi all. Great music Lee and made me realise again how much talent Australia missed out on. Everyone here was always trying to break into the American music scene and forgot about letting some of the great American music into here. So much happening back then like the Vietnam war and protests and national conscription and music was changing. Can you tell l don’t leave the house much. Stay safe and don’t overdo it. Watch out for the flu thanks to no masks. Prayers for Ukraine. Cheers all
Q linda música Leland!!!! Me atrevo a cerrar los ojos e imaginarme viajando por la Ruta 66 escuchando ésto!!!!!!!! Abrazo enorme de tu seguidor más austral del mundo!!!!!!
Gram's two solo records have long been on a combined 2-CD format (2 for 1). I sometimes go back to that CD ever 5 or so years, and each time realize how remarkable it is. Out of all my records, this is an all-time top ten for me.
the world owes gram a debt that will never be repaid. gram is the van gogh of the anti-nashville country movement that forms the foundation of todays true country music.
Yes, he certainly steered my musical tastes for a few years. Without him, I may have never been attracted to early Poco or the New Riders, etc. As I recall, the drama didn't end with his death...

Gram Psrsons is on my personal Mt Rushmore of Music along with Gordon Lightfoot, John Stewart, and Ian Tyson. I remember getting his first solo album "GP" and just being astounded by how good it was.

@@lastnamefirst4035 I saw a documentary about him. He's still romancing the whole deal but it was done very half ass and ended up in criminal charges, I think.

@@randyschiffer3265 thats the name of the suits. Named after the guy who made them. I believe his name is Nuda Cohen. Parsons and Hillman have one on in an album cover. Grams is white w poppies and desert flowers. Real fancy and expensive. Leland knows about the suits.
Sounds like you and the pianist are doubling the bass line on the shuffle. 1-3-5-6 and walk downs and walk ups, etc. I've been there before in sessions. Did you (or he) make some simple charts to indicate those patterns so that you'd stay in unison? Thanks, Lee.
There was a movie, not a biopic. It was called "Grand Theft Parsons " and it loosely told the story of Gram's band manager stealing Gram's body to fulfill Gram's wish to be cremated in the desert. It wasn't a great movie but it was entertaining. Starred Chritina Applegate and Johnny Knox(!?).

This was actually better than the original version on Burrito Deluxe. I got the feeling that Chris Hillman was happy to redo this.
Good call. After the fantastic Gilded Palace, B Deluxe was disappointing but this re-recording of HFQ is very good.
Yeah, their second album was pretty half- hearted
If any of you have not heard Gram's Music before I highly recommend starting with BRASS Buttons......GREAT SONG!!!!
Pretty song about Gram's mom I believe. "The tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair" 🎶. Brass buttons, green silk and silver shoes
