Soothing Saturday Sounds with Gram
over 2 years ago

The first song I ever listened to by Gram Parsons was "Cash on The Barrelhead". Then I began checking out his other work. The funny thing is, I'm not really a fan of country music per se. But I can listen to Gram's stuff very easily. Even songs like "Close Up The Honky Tonks" which is about as country as it gets. If you look at Gram's biography on wikipedia, its pretty amazing how many cool peo...

There is something there holding it up. I think sometimes people want to be comple...

I have discovered and re-discovered so many artists since I started mogging. I listened to _Grievous Angel_ today...it was beautiful and perfect for my sunny drive through the mountains. While I was soaking up all the sweet vocal harmonies between Parsons and Emmylou Harris, I thought, "Thank you Moggers." I can't remember a specific post that turned me on to GP - it just seemed like his nam...

vinyl finds and a lesson learned
over 2 years ago

i have not had my record player set-up and connected to my stereo for over three years. Up until then I scoured for lps at garage sales and thrift stores but have stopped because I have nothing to play them on. My brother has a great vinyl collection. This is partly due to the fact that he got to my parents' lps before i really got a chance. He got all the johnny cash and bob dylan and i got th...

..(feel free to think the following thought in a whiny irritating voice)......don't you hate it when some lazy hack writes the same cliched history of alt country drawing the line from Gram Parsons directly to Uncle Tupelo skipping twenty years of important artists in the wink of an eye.
