The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo (ACTUAL THREAD HERE)

my friend A also has a picture of gram on the wall and it is at least reason #6 why i <3 her so much

everyone should have a photo of gram on their wall.

his outfit in the hot burrito 1 youtube thing I posted elsewhere is hilaarious.

where did you post it?

OPO: Flying Burrito Brothers (songs)

And I didn't get an answer :(

i remember now, i tried to find it for you but i couldn't.

<3<3<3 estela

aw<3

ha thanks for trying!

it was my pleasure.

man gram doesn't come off well at all in the hotel california book i'm reading. he really bummed a lot of people out.

there's an early - prob international submarine band era - vid clip of gram performing on a boat - so he's prob 'luxury liner', really can't remember - where he does this terrible, i mean just awful, camp jagger impersonation, kinda punctured the myth a bit for me, for a while - but so glad i finally got to hear his vocal version of '100 years from now', one of the bonus tracks on the expanded edition of 'sweetheart'

i def remember an old ilx thread where lots of ppl were really slagging of 'sweetheart' and i was like :-((( so thanx for this thread folx

prob singing 'luxury liner'

man gram doesn't come off well at all in the hotel california book i'm reading. he really bummed a lot of people out.

i guess i always sorta suspected this? what little i know of his life (i'm vague on much other than "harvard dropout," "was in byrds," "liked drugs," and "friends stole body, supposedly?"), for some reason, made me assume that he was better at singing country than he was at conducting life

musician in blah blah blah shocka

yeah, don't get me wrong. i like this album and the burritos stuff a bunch. just weird reading about how he was really a non-entity to a lot of people at that time. like an "oh is that guy still alive?" kinda thing. but, you know, its 1969! he wasn't taken seriously by a lot of people. the myth came later.

listenin to this bitch right now

wait are you talkin about this "older guys" clip? i have to admit to thinking it's sort of great. goofy, but great.

haha i love how the other dudes look in that clip

lol i used a to date a girl who looked remarkably like Gram in that video. she had short red hair tho.

i tried to cut my hair like gram once when i was wasted, but ive told that story on ilx like 3000 times. anyway its still growing out

i always like that story, it was a good impulse.

was going for this iirc

ok ok i get it

i love you!!! merry christmas!!!

got this on vinyl finally the other day

what a fucking brilliant record.

I love that it doesn't say who wrote what on the back of the record because honestly who cares

check the labels iirc

i mean yes, i know i know, but it doesnt say on the back cover it just lists the songs, that is cool to me

real punx

Oh how my lonely heart is achin tonight for that girl I left behind

100 yrs from now <3

not hatin but so-called naysayer thread has some interesting shit to say about the album & its place, this thread is just "fuck yeah, sweetheart of the rodeo"

that's right, it is fuck yeah sweetheart of the rodeo

good/weird to know i have gram parsons hair right now tho w/o starred cowboy hat obv
will listen to byrds today

yeah, its "fuck yeah sweetheart of the rodeo," and that is what it is for

thank god we aren't on ilm

hickory wind

the alt. version of "you're still on my mind"

hickory wind comes on and i *hush*

banjo on pretty boy floyd, yes. is that mcguinn playing or is it a sparkly nashville session dude.

yes that alt version is supreme

its john hartford, he used to be on the smothers brothers show and had hit with "gentle on my mind"

nice.
used to think blue canadian rockies was the dud of this album, but it is now one of my faves.

it readies me for fall

been listening to lots of flying burrito bros and graham parsons on my walks to work the last few days.
