  • 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.

  • “Outlaw Pete”: Bruce Springsteen and the Dream-Work of Cosmic American Music
    “Outlaw Pete”: Bruce Springsteen and the Dream-Work of Cosmic American Music Peter J. Fields Midwestern State University Abstract During the 2006 Seeger Sessions tour, Springsteen shared his deep identification with the internal struggle implied by old spirituals like “Jacob’s Ladder.” While the Magic album seemed to veer wide of the Seeger Sessions ethos, Working on a Dream re-engages mythically with what Greil Marcus would call “old, weird America” and Gram Parsons deemed “cosmic American music.” Working suggests the universe operates according to “cosmic” principles of justice, judgment, and salvation, but is best understood from the standpoint of what Freud would call “dream work” and “dream thoughts.” As unfolded in Frank Caruso’s illustrations for the picturebook alter ego of Working‘s “Outlaw Pete,” these dynamics may allude to Springsteen’s conflicted relationship with his father. The occasion of the publication in December 2014 of a picturebook version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Outlaw Pete,” the first and longest song on the album Working on a Dream (2009), offers Springsteen scholars and fans alike a good reason to revisit material that, as biographer Peter Ames Carlin remarks, failed in the spring American tour of that year to “light up the arenas.”1 When the Working on a Dream tour opened in April 2009 in San Jose, at least Copyright © Peter Fields, 2016. I want to express my deep gratitude to Irwin Streight who read the 50 page version of this essay over a year ago. He has seen every new draft and provided close readings and valuable feedback. I also want to thank Roxanne Harde and Jonathan Cohen for their steady patience with this project, as well as two reviewers for their comments.

Sid Griffin reside desde hace años en Londres, donde escribe libros (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons), colabora con la BBC, y lidera su banda de bluegrass The Coal Porters. The Trick Is To Breathe es su primer disco en solitario en diez años. ”Mi amigo Billy Bragg me dijo que grabó su último disco en cinco días, y recordé que Dylan grabó Nashville Skyline en unas pocas sesiones, así que contacté con unos cuantos amigos de Nashville y me recomendaron a Thomm Jutz como productor. Cuando volé a Tennessee los músicos se sabían las canciones mejor que yo, así que empezamos un lunes y para el jueves ya habíamos terminado!” Sid canta y toca la guitarra en seis de los temas, y la mandolina en otros dos, pero el trabajo duro lo hacen esos fabulosos músicos de los que habla, a la mandolina Sierra Hull (un prodigio del bluegrass que fue fichada por Rounder Records a la edad de 13 años), al banjo Justin Moses (de la banda de Rikky Skaggs), a la batería Paul Griffiths (Sheryl Crow, K.D.Lang, Marty Stuart…), a la guitarra acústica Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith…), y al bajo Mark Fain (John Fogerty, Dolly Parton…).

  • The First Thing I Thought When I Was Offered
    The Popular Music Project: Listening Party at LACE Sept. 16, 2008 The Paisley Underground Notes by Alejandro Cohen The first thing I thought when I was offered to host the Paisley Underground listening party was: "What makes me qualified to do this?" after all, I was only 10 years old by the time the movement as it's known now was over. And even worse, I wasn't even born or raised in Los Angeles!!! Let alone the US. So again, what makes me qualified to do this presentation? I find it funny that someone like me, being a foreigner, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, is doing a presentation about a local group of friends, colleagues and bandmates that at some point connected, played and wrote songs together at a special time and place in music history. But I guess it is not uncommon for a person to go to a foreign land and find something that locals take for granted fascinating, and appreciate how amazing that something is. My first exposure to what is called Paisley Underground was in 1996, when I first moved to Los Angeles. A friend of mine owned a record by Kendra Smith, The Guild of Temporal Adventurers. And although that record technically is not a Paisley Underground record, I found the sound so unique and at the same time so connected to everything I liked, that I made it a point to find out more about who was behind this. You have to remember that this was 1996. I didn't own a computer, and the Intemet was something that only a couple of people I knew had access to.

  • NEO-GARAGE Il Rinascimento Garage Degli Anni Ottanta CORSI E RICORSI Un Antefatto
    Mappapsyche 6-04-2006 11:48 Pagina 28 MAP MUSIC PAGES Neopsichedelia USA ‘80 NEO-GARAGE Il Rinascimento Garage degli Anni Ottanta CORSI E RICORSI Un antefatto. O, meglio, l’Antefatto. Nel 1972, avviluppato da una sgargiante ve- ste che, più di una semplice copertina, è un’esplosione di luci e colori, la Elek- tra pubblica un doppio album dal titolo, come si suol dire, di per sé esplicativo Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era (1965-1968). Per quella che, a ragione, viene considerata la madre di tutte le compilation, un Lenny Kaye già apprezzato in veste di critico e archeologo rock oltre che di (futuro) chitarrista del Patti Smith Group, responsabile unico del materiale assemblato nonché delle preziose note informative che lo corredano, riapre uno spiraglio verso un’epoca del rock’n’roll sulla quale si erano posate troppo in fretta le sabbie del tempo: quella del garage americano degli anni sessanta. Un piccolo varco destinato ad ampliarsi a dismisura negli anni succes- sivi con la pubblicazione di materiale pressoché inesauribile (come dimenti- care, ad esempio, la serie infinita dei Pebbles?), che getta finalmente luce su quella che forse, nonostante la lonta- nanza dalla luce dei riflettori (o, più pro- babilmente, proprio grazie ad essa), ri- mane l’epoca d’oro del rock’n’roll a stel- le e strisce. L’epoca in cui, in risposta alla British Invasion di Beatles e Rolling Stones, una miriade di band in erba si rinchiude nelle cantine, il più delle volte senza nemmeno saper suonare, buttan- do sul piatto energia, spontaneità, fre- schezza ed entusiasmo nella speranza di emulare il successo dei propri idoli d’oltreoceano.
