  • 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.

  • Safaris to the Heart of All That Jazz
    Safaris to the heart of all that jazz.... JoniMitchell.com 2014 Biography Series by Mark Scott, Part 6 of 16 In January of 1974, Joni began an extensive tour of North America with the L.A. Express, wrapping up with three concerts at the New Victoria Theatre in London, England. The final concert at the New Victoria was videotaped and an edited version was broadcast on the BBC television program The Old Grey Whistle Test in November of 1974. Larry Carlton and Joe Sample were playing with The Crusaders at the time and both opted not to go on the road with Joni and the L.A. Express. Guitarist Robben Ford replaced Larry Carlton and Larry Nash filled in for Joe Sample on piano. In a 2011 interview for JoniMitchell.com, Max Bennett said that although the pay was good for this tour, the musicians could have made more money playing gigs in L.A. and doing session work in the recording studios. Max said that the musicians loved the music, however, and that they were treated royally in every way throughout the tour. Excellent food, first class accommodations, limousines, private buses and private planes were all provided for the band’s comfort. Max also made a point of mentioning the quality of the audiences that attended the concerts. Attention was focused on the performances so completely that practically complete silence reigned in the theaters and auditoriums until after the last note of any given song was performed. For Max Bennett, “As far as tours go - I've been on several tours - this was the epitome of any great tour I've ever been on.

  • The Great Depression As Seen in the Pages of the Daily Record September—December 1934
    The Great Depression as seen in the pages of the Daily Record September—December 1934 “Observance of Labor Day has had a dull gray tinge, in recent years, due to the unpleasant fact that the spirit of earnest toil which the day is supposed to commemorate hasn’t been getting much chance to exercise itself….We can say that things are somewhat better than they were, and that the future is pretty encouraging—but, meanwhile, the American Federation of Labor estimates that there are something like 9,000,000 men who want to work but have no jobs, and the federal government continued to spend millions of dollars every week for unemployment relief….We have learned that the community is not healthy when labor is not healthy…that none of us will get along properly unless all of us are getting a fair break. Once we fully realize this….There will be less exploitation and more fairness; less class antagonism and more cooperation; less aimless drifting and more progress along the road to a broader, fuller richer life for every man which is the essence of the great American dream.” (editorial, September 1, 1934, p.4) Daily Washington Letter by Rodney Dutcher, Sept. 1, 1934, p. 4: “The Forgotten Man is being invited to become his own banker. The government will tell him—if he’s interested—how to become a stockholder, depositor, and borrower in a type of bank which experienced virtually no failures in the years when 14,000 commercial banks were folding up like trampled eggshells. Through Federal Credit Unions the fellow who wants to borrow from $5 to $200 for useful purposes may now do so without falling into the hands of the loan sharks who would soak him for interest running from 30 to 100 per cent or more….Credit unions are really old stuff.
