I'm an Indian and a student of Indian Classical Music..never had any Idea of what American Music is all about. But after listening to Hickory Wind , I became fond of his music. Music is universal only if it emanates from struggles and frictions of life.
I would think that sometimes it can come from the joy of life as well. Not a big country fan but every time I hear "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver it seems to put me in a happy and thankful mood.
I listen to this often....I loved Grams speaking voice...very soft spoken and southern gentleman...I met him when I was 17 we stayed in touch til early 1971... miss him ❤️
Gram Parsons was a beautiful and exceptional man. He was haunted by his father's suicide and his mother's death due to her alcoholism. It's like he was destined to leave this world much too soon. He left his mark on all who have listened to his music..... " Now my man has got it made. He's gone far beyond the pain. And we must remain go on living just the same. We who must remain go on laughing just the same".
Now I understand. I've known of Gram's controversies, but I didn't know he had this hard a time. And then to be betrayed I don't know how many times by artistic partners. I've known about Gram since 1968, but it's only until I listened to this interview and saw your post, Tina, did I really understand the intensity he went through.
@@davidgargiulo1012 But the sweet pie slice Henry Dickey and I know of utter peace love and joy til 1958 with the firm foundation of hero dad worship, mother love adoration, black patriarchy & matriarchy, pastoral care, communion, strong faith, solid community along with various music genres of black, southern hymns, classical, Elvis, boogie, radio. He had a lot of percussion going on. His room was filled with drums.
This interview is truly a gem. To think that it was recorded almost 50 yrs. ago. Noticed Gram used no clichés or filler words. Honest, intelligent, humble, soft spoken, gutsy. I didn't care much for Byrd's 'Sweetheart' but loved the Burrito Bros. and saw them a couple times in L.A. Discovered his solo stuff later, still listening!
And right after this, Waylon broke free and became an outlaw country legend! Gram was spot on. And country music wasn't the only thing Keith and Gram had an affinity for. 😊
This interview is such a treasure! Thank you so much for posting, Rosemary! He is so young, his voice is still breaking--and so is my heart. This interview is a tribute to everyone who questions authority and challenges people doing things because "that's just the way it's done". Gram was so independent, I sure hope he's somewhere where he can enjoy the fact that his frankness and honesty predicted so much of what would come later, even up until now. His spirit lives on in all of us.
It’s an internet diamond in the rough. Based on a theatre production by Michael Bate of Ottawa Canada. Starting Anders Drerup as Gram and Kelly Prescott as Emmylou.

It's a damn shame that most people don't have a clue who this man is. I for one wish I'd been exposed to his music much earlier than I was. I'll say it's truly a great loss, to say the least, that he died at such a young age. He had so much more to contribute!!
@@rjhall5712 My experience is similar. I was a freshman in high school in 72 and we were listening to what we called outlaw country, including Waylon Jennings. I listened to Burrito Brothers but I was a big fan of Poco and the New Riders and had no idea about the Byrds or Gram Parsons influence and popularizing country music with young pop music fans. I got to the party late but there was so much great country-ish music going on I had tons of stuff to listen to.
@@rjhall5712 Me too. I didn't know who he was 'til much later in life. All the stuff he did with Emmy Lou Harris, his friendship with Keith Richards ... none of it. What a loss, I often wonder now what more we could've had from him.
Sherri Decembrini Gram’s Mom set up a trust fund which was paying him $50,000 per year. That’s roughly $350,000 annually in today’s dollars. Much easier to have guts and no patience with labels when you have financial security.
@@probono9341 I knew about the trust fund, did not know the amount. Have been a fan of his music and genre, if he'd allow that term, since it came out. Lucky to own all the original vinyl too. He fascinated me with all the great musicians he hung out with, influenced and recorded with. My world has been blessed with his contributions, fell very badly about the addiction and tragic consequences. Thank you for posting this, 1st time I've run across it, thank you algo too for putting this on my page,,,
I wasn't yet born by the time Gram Parsons came around, but damn... time passes so quickly. 50-51 years now! since he left. I'll always be jealous of my parents' generation, who got to grow up and listen to this sort of music as it was first hitting the airwaves.
What a warm voice. I am so glad that i found gram parsons. What a sad childhood. He was it seems to be a sweet person. You can't go through that kind of grief and not have it change you.
Oh sweet Gram, none of this is new to me, I’ve been into Gram since I was a young teenage girl, but I very much enjoyed listening to his soft kind voice speaking, I’ve heard him talk before, but this was longer & I’ll never tire of hearing Gram. Emmylou is such a treasure.❤️🥰👏
It melts my heart to think there are such fine ladies as yourselves, that seem know about the important things in life. I’m 31, I own about 400 vinyls and have also fallen in love with Gram. Along with Guy And Townes, and Willie and Waylon. Open your heart and feel the music. As Neil says, “Let’s go out and feel the night” 🥰

Gram is my childhood friend from Waycross until Coon Dogs death when he moved and afterwards Avis his sister and I visited back and forth between Waycross and Winter Haven.
I L💜VE THIS INTERVIEW ~ Just listening to his Sweet Voice - MAKES ME SMILE - AND TOTALLY BREAKS MY HEART - all @ the SAME TIME!!! GOD REST HIS SOUL!!! :)
It's a unique situation. Probably shows the power of his personality and talent. Someone said that once Gram gets into your heart, he doesn't leave. I'm finding that.
Amazing interview and the bridges by Michael are just so great. This manages to answer almost every question I've had about Gram's career for years. So young but musically deep and sincere.
It's amazing how much influence Gram had on the whole Counrty/Rock music thing that took off after Gram passed it's really a shame he did not live to see his vision take off
Great interview. Thanks. I was lucky enough to be a huge Byrds and Burritos/Gram fan early on. Was also a radio DJ at 18 y.o. When his first solo album came in and Emmylou’s voice blew me away.
This is the first time I've ever heard Gram Parsons interview but his passion and pure love for music remind me of interviews I've heard with Keith Richards.
"A song for you " is a mostly unknown melodic gem....his talent and profound soulfulness has only grown for me as time takes its own path ....imagining Gram spontaneously singing acapella of his beautiful " in my hour of darkness " at Clarence Whites funeral had to elevate his soul to spirit ....Love him ....as a side note , does anyone know if the Eagles , " new kid in town." Was about Gram ... everybody please keep safe and find truth while avoiding deception ....Crazy ass world exposing much darkness , watch out for the "devil in disguise"
Thank you sooo much for sharing this incredible interview with us! His speaking voice is so lovely! I could listen to him speak like I could listen to him sing! I was born in '69, am a singer/musician/songwriter & like soo many others out there, I've been inspired by & in awe of his God-given gifts! Without people sharing what was recorded of Gram, I'd never have known of him! Ahh, it won't be long now & we'll be snatched up & outta this beastly & brutal Dodge! After the very, very soon Rapture...we'll be singing w/Gram (& many others)! Thank God He created gentle *Gram* & humanity's innate Love for Music! 🎶 Suppose God brought Gram Home to Heaven to spare him any longer time living here w/his deep heartbreak... that Gram must've been self-medicating w/alcohol, etc. What would Gram have been without that visible/audible heartache... 'cause it drove his sweet, shyness to bravely express that pain through his music. It is something that so many of us feel from him & can empathize with 💕 I'm just thankful God lent him to us for the time He did... during the exact earthly years He chose to... (rather than the 1600s, for example) during an era when we could record & save Gram's youthful charismatic beauty & musical wow-ness...for all of these decades after his physical death! 💕 He'll never truly be dead & gone, thank God 😊❤️♾️
At 10:20, he refers to the "Main Street Blues Band" as a precursor to what became Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. I have never heard of this before and can find nothing of them online. Anyone else heard of this D&B incarnation before? Great interview! Have heard bits of this before, but never this complete. Thank you!
Thank you. I rewinded like ten times to try an decipher what he was saying and still couldn’t tell haha. Delaney and Bonnie have music released on Spotify.
Born in Denmark in 1981, I've always known some Gram Parsons songs - but it's only something like 10 years ago I actually heard about him. 10 months ago I started to actively listening to him, and it's only about 10 weeks ago I started my journey finding out more. Weird, ain't it?
No, not that weird. I was alive when he was, but he was just a shadowy figure to me until last spring. Had no idea Gram made such great music. Maddening but brilliant. Have fun!
GREAT VIDEO, I HOPE TO KEEP THUS A VERY. LONG TIME,THANK YOU VERY MUCH,REALLY LOADS OF HISTORY,YEAH,THAT VOICE,UNMISTAKABLE.LOVE IT WHEN HE SAYS F,U, I AM GOING TO ENGLAND,LEGEND..Man the LEGENGS HE KNEW ALSO,WALTER B.Memphis.
Gram and Chris Hillman you mean right? Their vocals on The Gilded Palace of Sin album are great. Christines Tune, Sin City, Do Right Woman etc all have that Everly Brothers feel in the vocals
GP One of my all time favorites, thanks for this interview. Gone way before his time. Just saw Sweetheart of the Rodeo tour with Hillman, McGuinn, and Marty Stewart. A tribute to Gram Parsons and the Byrds. Very nice concert.
How lucky are we to hear Gram Parsons today. As he laughs at Mick's suitcase of money to Switzerland or the grip of Chet's antiseptic atmosphere. His friends were all the great makers of music, not the businessmen. Imagine 'Sweethearts of the Rodeo' with his voice throughout, huge loss. Thank God for Tape Recorders.... And now UA-cam posters.
Thank you SO MUCH for the upload! Namaste. Gosh, I began to thinking that after awhile, it started sounding a lot like Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes. "Y'know, I uh, I never really liked the term, uh, "country rock", it's, it's just not my thang~, man."
Waylon Jennings was and is a bad ass once he left Chet Adkins and RCA he took right off and became a major Country superstar it's just too bad Gram did not get to see it.
Wild Horses wasn't written in some studio, it was written in France probably by Gram and Keef. Gram was trying to kiss ass according to Phil Kaufman. Nothing in this interview indicates he didn't have a hand in it's creation.
RIP Gram. He passed away 50 years ago on this day in Joshua Tree. He would be 76 now.
He & Emmylou were a 'match made in heaven!' He the Southern gentleman & his so-Beautiful Southern lady!
I'm an Indian and a student of Indian Classical Music..never had any Idea of what American Music is all about. But after listening to Hickory Wind , I became fond of his music. Music is universal only if it emanates from struggles and frictions of life.
Amen, Brother. Blessed Be.
It is.
I like sitar music, it is all universal . Ravi Shankar
I would think that sometimes it can come from the joy of life as well. Not a big country fan but every time I hear "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver it seems to put me in a happy and thankful mood.
You are totally right. My deepest respect, Sir
I listen to this often....I loved Grams speaking voice...very soft spoken and southern gentleman...I met him when I was 17 we stayed in touch til early 1971... miss him ❤️
Pure gold. I could listen to Gram talk all day long! Something about his voice...

Wonderful to hear him like this.

This just gives me chills...he was EVERYTHING you kind of imagined he'd be! Love his straightforward demeanor...
One of the most incredible artists, I am learning about his many paths that all led to music. 🌅🌸💙
How much sweetness in Gram's voice! I love to hear him speak.
Even when he says "fk you" to hazelwood he sounds sweet. "See ya" funny
One of the shiniest stars in the heavens
Such honesty and guts!!! I really dig Gram Parsons. Right on!
It's really nice to hear someone say the same things I always have about labels when it comes to music. Great interview!
I have a couple of Chicago Mass Choir videos in my playlist that I would put up alongside the hardest rocking bands of any era.
Great to hear the respect he had for Waylon Jennings.
He believed Waylon should have the right to get high where ever he wanted 😀
Great to hear his disrespect for Lee Hazelwood
@@gostrum1 lol😀 no kidding. Hazelwood was a jerk and sang stupid songs
And right after this, Waylon broke free and became an outlaw country legend! Gram was spot on.
And country music wasn't the only thing Keith and Gram had an affinity for. 😊

Gone in six months; his demons won, but he left so much for us to love.

I went to high school with Gram. I lived on the same hall at The Bolles School. He was a special talent for sure.
It sounds like Bolles was a very good place for Gram. Away from his troubled family and living with supportive friends and teachers.
So Handsome ,such a Great musical genius. Such a positive influence on rock and country music.
Amazing interview and the bridges by Michael are just so great. This manages to answer almost every question I've had about Gram's career for years. So young but musically deep and sincere.
Im gonna try to go to sleep to his voice. It calms me down
He had a beautiful soft southern drawl. I find that his song Brass Buttons is very calming when I feel tense.
RIP great interview
What a loss he was....what a singing voice he had.
I've known his name for 50 years. First time I've ever had the opportunity to hear what he was about. What a loss for music.

wow that was amazing thank you now we know he didn't write wild horses from his own lips. Hickory wind is still one of my favorite songs
hickory wind is one of my favourites too :)
Wild Horses wasn't written in some studio, it was written in France probably by Gram and Keef. Gram was trying to kiss ass according to Phil Kaufman. Nothing in this interview indicates he didn't have a hand in it's creation.
William Morgan 🤣
William Morgan it was written long before they went to France. Recorded in Muscle Shoals Alabama Dec 2 and 3 1969. Not by Gram period
@@BILLYMORGAN1971 i dont put any stock into what kaufman says...consider the source
Thank you thank you Rosemary.
Thank you.
Who’s playing his instrumentals in the background? Really nice!
Don’t forget that Gram went to Harvard. Very bright fella. And super eloquent

We like it, Gram. We really like it.
miss what you could have been
I'm really surprised to hear Gram's true feelings about Lee Hazlewood.
