  • 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.

About a year and a half lat- er, we started working on what would eventually become our biggest release, Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves From Minneapolis/St. Paul 1964-1979. What follows is our attempt to share with you some of the amazing stories, history, and photos that have been so gracious- ly shared with us during the course of producing a compilation of soulful tunes from our hometown. ..... R&B, soul, and funk music in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota went through dra- matic changes during the 1960s and 1970s. Predating these changes, a vibrant jazz scene beginning in the 1920s laid the groundwork with several players being instrumental in helping teach young local R&B mu- sicians how to play. However, many of the early R&B pioneers, including Mojo Buford, Maurice McKin- nies, and Willie Walker, came to Minnesota from other states and brought the music with them.

  • James Carr: Soul Singer By: Dave Hoekstra March 22, 1992
    James Carr: Soul Singer by: Dave Hoekstra March 22, 1992 MEMPHIS---- So this is how it is when all a man has left is a song. Soul legend James Carr sits on a big sofa in a small office located near the Memphis State University campus. His brittle body is clothed in an oversized brown sports coat and baggy slacks. Some of Carr's yellow fingernails are so long, they curl up at the end. When Carr drifts in on a conversation, he will explain how his parents left him when he was 3, how he suffered a serious head injury in a Mississippi cotton field, how he grew up illiterate and how he feels regret for becoming "spellbound" onstage at a 1979 concert in Japan. When Carr drifts out, well, there is the song: "(At the) Dark End of the Street." And there is silence. Publicist Joe McEwen once called Carr "The World's Greatest Soul Singer," and the label has stuck. The late O.V. Wright, himself a stirring emulator of Otis Redding and Otis Clay, often said he wished he had Carr's big, emotive baritone. Then you look at Carr, who sits on the sofa so shy and so unsure. Maybe his voice is so spiritually manifesting because that is the easiest way he can communicate. If only it were that simple. Quinton Claunch, the original vice president of Goldwax Records, is trying to restart the label for which Carr recorded. He is taking a long shot by centering the effort on Carr's comeback. Claunch resurfaced in 1988 as a producer for the Rev.
