  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.

ABSTRACT "KING HARVEST (HAS SURELY COME)": RURAL POPULIST IMAGERY IN ROOTS ROCK MUSIC, 1967-1973 CHRISTOPHER LEE WITTE CANDIDATE FOR DEGREE OF ARTS IN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND MAY2006 PROFESSOR ROBERT C. KENZER The Americanroots rock musical genre of the late 1960's and early 1970's too oftenhas been overlooked in the historical discussion of popular culture of the period. This study, through an examination of the works of fivepopular musical groups- Bob Dylan, The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Byrds, and Creedence ClearwaterRevival - focuseson how this music tied into a continued American mythology tradition of populism. Through an approach that corresponds with Richard Slotkin's views on the creation of Americanmyth , and a focuson the lyrical content of the songs and their presentation of nature, the open road, American heroes and anti-heroes, and death and destruction, this thesis examines how these songs utilized populist philosophies foundin earlier American folkand blues music andadapted them as a means to explain and rationalize their place in the post-modem American society.

  • MUSIC; a Grievous Angel, a Busy Ghost
    Published: December 8, 2002 MUSIC; A Grievous Angel, A Busy Ghost By NEIL STRAUSS WAYCROSS, Ga.— THERE is a ghost that hangs heavy over the town of Waycross, a railroad hub in southeastern Georgia that has fallen on hard times. Though most folks move through the streets oblivious to it, some people say they can actually see it. And they see it everywhere. ''Before me, gentlemen, Gram once walked down these streets, as sure as I did,'' said Billy Ray Herrin, a local songwriter who held a tribute to Parsons here last week. He was sitting in the passenger seat of a crowded rental car. ''Take a right here,'' he said. ''I'm going to show you the exact monkey bars that he used to swing on.'' Gram is Gram Parsons, the patron saint of country-rock and, beyond it, the catch-all modern folk genre known as Americana. Raised in Waycross, which he left at the age of 12 after his father committed suicide, Parsons lived fast, died young and left a good-looking corpse, a good- sounding body of work and a good-size cult audience that is about to see his memory taken to new heights. For someone who sabotaged himself so much -- who often put the musicians he worked with second to his musical vision, who could be difficult to work with in the studio and who got so drunk and high that he exasperated those around him -- Parsons still managed to be the force behind five of the greatest albums of the late 60's and early 70's.

    BEAR FAMILY RECORDS TEL +49(0)4748 - 82 16 16 • FAX +49(0)4748 - 82 16 20 • E-MAIL [email protected] Truckers, Kickers, Cowboy Angels The Blissed-Out Birth Of Country Rock "It was something in the air, almost like the earth was passing through a cloud. I think this music was the direct result of psychedelia, the chaotic noisiness of it. People wanted to return to the simplicity that country music represented. Three-chord songs, melodies, and stories." (Roger McGuinn, the Byrds) G A new series from BEAR FAMILY chronicling one of the most important musical developments of the rock era! G Volumes one and two available now! They include the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, The Band, Linda Ronstadt, Doug Sahm, Lovin' Spoonful, and many more! G Extensively annotated and profusely illustrated! INFORMATION BEAR FAMILY has issued critically acclaimed and top-selling year-by-year anthologies of R&B ('Blowin' The Fuse' 1945-1960) and Soul ('Sweet Soul Music' 1961-1975), and Country Music ('Dim Lights, Thick Smoke & Hillbilly Music' 1945-1970). Now it's the turn of Country Rock. In 1966, rock groups began turning away from the self-indulgence of early psychedelia to the timeless values embodied in Coun- try Music, but they brought a counter-culture sensibility to it. It was a trend that began slowly in 1966, picked up steam in '67 when Bob Dylan released his groundbreaking 'John Wesley Harding' album and The Band's first LP appeared, and became a phenomenon in 1968 when the Byrds released 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo,' and Dillard & Clark's first album appeared.

  • Home Taping: Country Rock
    Home Taping: Country Rock At the time of his death, Gram Parsons was in grave danger of being taken for granted. Although it was accepted that he had 'invented' the musical style known as Country Rock, this was simply being overlooked in a mass outbreak of droopy-moustached yee-hawism. Today it is called New Country and has become the fastest growing market in American popular music. The roots of Country Rock lie in the 1960s recordings of West Coast artists Buck Owens and His Buckaroos, Merle Haggard and The Strangers and the sublime pop- country songwriting of the (late) great Harlan Howard. This was known as the Bakersfield sound, where true-to-life songs and fast shuffle rhythms, often performed by musicians attired in flashy Western duds, caught the creative imagination of approximately one person: the young Gram Parsons. When Parsons founded The International Submarine Band in 1966, rock and roll was entering its progressive phase and the Nashville hit machine was at the peak of its powers - a diabolical climate in which to attempt a revolution. 28 years later we see Gram Parsons in his true light: a man alone with no precedent, no road map, just a vision that has at last begun to register with the record buying public. Today Gram Parsons’s spirit lives on in the music of Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt, Vince Gill. And twenty-something years ago, awestruck by the imports in the windows of London's One Stop or Musicland, a small throng of fans were also travelling without a road map.
