Gram Parsons Hickory Wind by AJ Lee

The Tuttles with AJ Lee at Redwood Bluegrass Associates (RBA) 20th season concert, Oct. 2010. This was a CD release party for the band and we thank everyone who showed up when they could have been watchin the San Francisco Giants taking the World Series. Thanks to Dan Booth from Kathy Kallick's band for playing upright bass for the group that evening.
You may go to www.TheTuttlesW... for their first CD.

This is the first time AJ sang this in public! I absolutely love the way she renders it with no frills -- just letting the song sing itself through her! I wish Gram could have heard this version.

[@davidbergin6184]

This would make Gram Parsons smile.

[@velvetunderpants44]

I think Gram would approve.

[@steveoh4595]

With all that's wrong in the world, and no matter how hard life gets, I come here and listen to this and my heart glows...

[@peneleapai]

Amen, bro. Amen ♥️

[@AJLeeMusic]

Thank you ALL for such wonderful responses to a lot of hard work. Yes, these kids and the grown-ups who back them are industrious performers as well as just fine individuals. We appreciate your efforts to hang with us; it is an interesting journey!

I realize I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream new movies online?

[@zaidbenson3932]

@Hendrix Hayes i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@dukearthur2473]

@Zaid Benson yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since march myself :)

[@hendrixhayes7098]

@Zaid Benson thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!

[@dogpatch75]

Twelve and sixteen when this video was uploaded in 2010, AJ and Molly are 25 and 29 in 2022, and both are award winning musicians. Both are now miles beyond where they were as kids. This video shows why there was never any doubt what their destiny would be!

[@mkollander99]

They both are beautiful young ladies that have our hearts in this day of need

[@mkollander99]

Very beautiful women and family musical talent

[@sireugenecourtney5797]

Fast forward 8 years, Molly Tuttle becomes a household name in the bluegrass community. I wonder why she doesn't use one of her many groups to do a version of this song in her solo voice?

[@kenkakeeway7910]

This little lady can sing.

[@haroldarmstrong8285]

Oh, of Gram had stayed clean and lived out his life it is unsurmountable what he could have accomplished. What a wonderful talent!

[@ghostwriter11]

"I started out younger" . . . indeed. AJ, you are a treasure.

[@joelgalvan8358]

Aj and family, I had never heard of you. I live in Mexico, so that's part of the reason. I be loved gram, for 40 years, now. I love your music also.

[@anonymous203020]

I swear AJ tears up a little on the second verse, you can see it in the corner of her eye. That woman has a magical voice

[@dennispiatek7775]

Fabulous rendition.....Thank you Gram Parsons.

[@belascialoja4812]

Perfection from this uber-promising young lady. A natural she is!

[@MrRazorblade999]

I would love to hear AJ Lee sing more from Gram Parsons. Songs like "She", "Brass Buttons", "$1000 Wedding", or "A Song for You" would suit her voice.

[@alan4sure]

What a unique treasure AJ Lee is! So young, but sounding so mature, and talented. Five or ten years from now, who knows???

[@daveg4963]

It's 12 years later.

[@alan4sure]

@@daveg4963 yep and boy is she good now. I got to jam with her recently at a festival.

[@daveg4963]

@@alan4sure that's awesome. I've recently discovered her on KZbin and I'm hooked! I'm hoping to see her at the Huck Finn festival. I grew up listening to traditional Mexican folk music because of my background so I have an appreciation for Bluegrass.

[@bobspear5478]

Does this old heart good to see the young ones carrying on with the good music of the world

[@CadillacL]

My favorite Gram Parsons song. Very well done :)

[@willshogren1987]

This level of musicianship is astounding. I can barely play the radio but i know technical skill when I see it. Phenomenal work, ya'll.

[@faymari3962]

Voice of an angel,love this song and the way she sings it....

[@soundwise]

Gram would have loved this. Beautiful version. Thanks AJ!

[@jhurl9473]

aj whatever you do don't stop singing

[@Pasovineyard]

So many singers who have sung for decades never are able to sing from down deep in their sole. Here we have a child that reaches for that understanding.

[@johngusdon3537]

Kind of fascinating to listen to this song written by a genius now preformed by another musical prodigy/genius. Beautiful sound all around.

[@Byrdfan]

Just wonderful. Great tribute to a great song writer, Gram.

[@ronwooden2002]

Hmmm.....I'm thinking......... I'm lonesome ...and I thank you AJ for capturing this song and presenting it to our hearts. Amen

[@tcary1289]

Sweet voice! Thanks!

[@alan4sure]

Such a good reminder of what an amazing voice AJ had at such an early age. Must be about 12 here...You go AJ! My fav!

[@stephenward6223]

Wonderful! My favourite video on KZbin. Truly captures the essence and magic of this beautiful song. I'm sure Gram would be proud!

[@djehoti]

Can't get enough!!!

[@ricksmith5019]

Bass player is spot on.

[@SkydivingGoat]

Wow. I think I have a new favorite song.

[@AMattsen1]

This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard.

[@huntercenters7397]

Try the jd crowe and the new south video

[@JG-zt8wv]

Gram’s version is truly the one that every other version owes a debt of gratitude.

[@TerryHarrisontbh]

Perfection from every band member. Such incredible talent and skills especially from those so young.

[@matthewdiebel7151]

This is easily the best version of this song. AJ brings both emotion and sophisticated phrasing that is amazing for such a young person.

[@bobhemphut4011]

Its amazing how great her voice was soo young. Really refined and graceful... she sings great today too. Great job by the band!!!

[@tortuga3030]

Huge Kudos to Jack who put this (and created most of) band together! His harmonies really warm the choruses up along with his Skippy fiddle playing! My hat is off and offered to you sir...

[@DannerPlace]

Just beautiful.

[@RandySchartiger]

WOW!!!! Thank you for directing me to this, this is absolutely stellar! I'll definitely be watching for more from these young people in the future because no question about it, it's just a matter of time before they are on top! Outstanding!

[@jonprude2557]

Beautiful version!... great.

[@BigRollBand]

Beautiful - Graham is looking down and smiling!

[@TheMemphisSlim]

Very good job; the little gal sure has some pipes on her.

[@guywolff]

We played this in front of the big croud at Union Groves in 71 . Great moment . Great work here and a voice to take one off to heaven with .. Thanks for this one , Yours Guy

[@tortuga3030]

What an absolutely beautiful performance...I feel like i am watching these kids grow up on the internet, what a privilege! I love them and their music dearly...

[@RICHIETHEF]

A Masterpiece. No one has ever done it better.

[@joshearley5277]

This girl can sing!

[@faymari3962]

Oh My Goodness, for what this music means to me...... love her music....

[@tortuga3030]

@randomfarm THANK YOU for publishing all this great music on line! My god AJ can sing...

[@webuymusic]

This was the first time they sang Hickory Wind in public? Oh my goodness, how wonderful that they got that moment recorded on video! AJ Lee is lightning in a bottle!!

[@ronniewilcox3976]

No she sang it in public when she was real small

[@Ppopov51]

i'm living so far (marseilles france) and thank you for your pure films and sounds (i'm crying). patrick

[@randallfrank5682]

So beautiful AJ Lee. I really like the twin mandolins.

[@MrMuziekfan]

Beautiful song and very beautiful voice, i like it, it sounds WONDERFUL, !!! Peter :)

[@arnold7156]

I have listened to this at least a thousand times , cant get enough. what a soft calm soothing voice. reminds me of my childhood when I climed those oak trees. love it

[@guitar_player_bernie]

I love this version. Your vocals are just beautiful. And of course, there's The Tuttles.

[@gerryfalcon6353]

Beautiful... You know this is what country was all about, around the fire on the porch, each playing his or her part, that makes my heart shine. This young lady with that strong voice, I'd wish her to be my daughter. Never been to SC out east, but I know the feeling. Each of us know. AJ carrying the torch of the ol' country.

[@tortuga3030]

@randomfarm THANK YOU for publishing all this great music on line!

[@Bravo18tc1]

This is one of my favorite Gram Parson songs, I have listened to Emmylou Harris, Keith Richards and even the Birds version and honestly the AJ Lee arraignment with the Tuttles is exactly how this song was truly meant to be sung. Great job AJ keep it soulful and spiritual and you will never go wrong no matter what the song or subject. Larry Milby

[@AJLeeMusic]

Thank you Larry.

[@raybankes7668]

@@AJLeeMusic I feel the same way AJ, some covers are better by the new artist than the original. look at "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, is is way better that 9 inch nails any day... He owned the song, just as u and the Tuttles own Hickory Wind.

[@demich0007]

Yeah, I'd definitely say they learned that one. What an amazing voice and talent.

[@johnmeyers8585]

Oh My!!! This girls voice is the most beautiful I have ever heard, and she has the looks to go along with it!! She is blessed beyond description.

[@peneleapai]

Mind = blown. I'm just stumbling into soul-wonder!!, taking in this wee lass AJ Lee. Not being online much, I know this is probably old as the hills by now, but am feeling rather chuffed tonight at having accidentally discovered this wee love-generator. Lookin forward to sharing wit me mates round here (quiet rural lakeside realms of Éiriú) ....everyone probably knows but me.. Beannacht ✨ ♥️

[@bikerman02]

Beautiful harmonies. Awesome.

[@crlguitar1]

Love the Tuttles and AJ Lee....Such talent at such a young age.

[@Schaapje123]

Amazone voice. Love it!

[@ianwalkerdownland]

A very strong performance of this lovely song.

[@rogershafer3888]

Definitely put a check mark on that one awesome job AJ😅

[@katsounds1]

So many gifted young artists.love the sound!

[@a1scooter1]

AJ Lee, you have a beautiful voice. Both you and Molly have drawn me to being a bluegrass fan.

[@reedjoel9826]

Me too

[@ralorpa]

Not bad for a "...maybe we learned it"-song. Actually, it cant be better, and it makes me feel better. Thanks again. From Norway, where hickory is absent in the woods, as far as I know, but were common knowlegde for old skiers and of course used in shafts for hammers/tools.

[@larryfranks3616]

Beautiful beautiful cover!

[@LoydClayton]

I always loved this song by The Seldom Scene but this cover is also very good. I love it.

[@1951rfj]

Beautifull

Beautiful. Best performance of this great song since the Byrds on Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

You are shooting star AJ.I dont know what else to say.

She is amazing!

[@msfanaddict]

Where did these people come from? Man they are good! It's nice to see people carrying on the tradition of good old Bluegrass music. I just love their voices, the instruments sound great too. I really enjoy listening to this kinda music.

[@michaelrogers3564]

Heard it sung by many in different styles but this combination is a major chord. Sweeter than Carolina porch tea. Proud of that California Girl.❤

[@MrRazorblade999]

This guys are amazingly good.

[@olmmbill]

Terrific performance all around. Great feeling and artistry. Thank you.

[@dogpatch75]

Sweeeeet!!! It just doesn't get any better than this. Huge potential. Jack, you're doing a great job with these kids. Keep 'em together, keep it fun, and keep polishing. The blend of AJ and Molly's voices makes for something very special. Unsurpassed harmony, and along with the skills that Michael and Sullivan possess, you have the ability to create tremendous variety within the group. It keeps us all wanting more.

[@cricketbat08]

Emotional and brilliant.
