[@jeffgaumond4250]

Next to their double album "Untitled", Sweetheart is my favorite Byrds' album. It was so ahead of its' time. Roger McGuinn had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do it. It has Chris and Gram's indelible stamp on it. It wasn't originally a big commercial success but critics now agree it was one of the best rock albums ever. Music that stands up so well after 50 years is good music, it will probably be listened to 50 years, or more, into the future.

Yup! Gram just seemed like one of those ppl you just feel like you've known forever. Rare thing. At the time of his death he was married and had a daughter. All of us in this time frame had been doing our own thing for many years. I compare kids to day and not all but kids are still at home, living with mom and dad, no job ect. Just a difference in the times I guess. When I look at Gram and take all this in, it makes me just respect the man he was not only in music but for trying to have a wife and family even though it didn't work out. Love Gram Parsons.❤

Discovered Mr. Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers just a few weeks back. Why Mr. Parsons isn't in both the Country Music and Rock and Roll halls of fame is truly beyond me because his influence is pretty much apparent in music from 1970 on, namely, The Eagles, to name one. I wished he had lived longer. Would have loved to have heard what new sounds he'd come up with.

[@ARIZJOE]

Yes. Some of the old school Nashville people had contempt for rock musicians. See Ralph Emery. However, Gram Parson should definitely be in the rock hall in Cleveland. It's hard to believe that he isn't. They should do it while Keith Richards can present him for induction.

[@Jackie-gh4kq]

They were an extension of the Bakersfield Sound or Nashville West. Started by artists like Merle haggard, and Buck Owwns. It was the California country sound, where they just took country music from Nashville and mixed it with a rock and roll sound, using more electric guitar sound to it. Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman along with "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow where right at the forefront of this new sound, along with Emmylou Harris who played with the Burritos at times. The Burrito Brothers don't get the recognition they deserve. Its a shame Gram died so young, cause who knows what great music they still could of made.

[@JTRocks4Ever]

So handsome, talented and self-destructive. 😪❤️

[@patrickrooney5452]

There is nobody who has been able to blend country and rock music like Gram Parsons still to this day. He was way ahead of his time. He has influenced countless other musicians and he pioneered his own type of music and he has still not been given the recognition he so deserved. Without Chris Hillman getting Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons together she would never have become the country music icon that she is. Emmylou Harris was a folk singer before she got together with Gram Parsons. She has always had the beautiful voice but her career was on a totally different path. If she had never gotten together with Gram Parsons she definitely would have become the country and Americana star. He definitely has changed country music for the better and he should be recognized for his contributions he literally changed the entire genre and he never had a hit record in his lifetime. So sad that he didn't get to see how much he changed the world of country music. Without Bernie Leadon getting into the Flying Burrito Brothers he would not have gone on to form the Eagles with Don Henley and Glenn Frey. There are so many people who have totally changed country rock music and they are all connected with Gram Parsons

Since the age of 17, I have played this album more than any other. In good times and bad, its restorative powers remain undimmed, its beauty relentless. I return for the songs and their direct cardiac address. For the vocal harmonies, chapel and profane. For the hurt, crackled varnish of Gram Parson’s voice. For the swimmy pedal steel sluiced through a rotating Leslie amp. For the fuzz and the fog and the clarity. And for times lost and regained.

[@philgunter5855]

I had bought the book before moving to Florida and only happened to get to reading it while I was living there. Really put me in his shoes for the week or so I spent reading it.

Take this inspiration to creative and spiritual work and try to keep on a steady path. Often there is a period of disillusionment afterwards, when we realize that the beloved is human and fallible.

Clarke is not even hiding the fact that he is completely faking it on the bass.

Love Gram Parsons. Thank you for sharing his songs!

[@Keeleysound]

The greatest and most moving singing voice in music history. God's Own Singer, indeed 🙌🌟

"I wouldn't lie. - you know I'm not that kind of guy..." What a love song.

I love Gram

[@ilikeponiees]

god i am so glad this exists.

[@camero1974jb]

When I first heard this tune I could not get over the emotion and feeling. That was 1972 I think. After all this time it still has the grit and sorrow in it. Just think of the music Gram would have written.

RIP Gram what a song right from the heart simply beautiful !

[@davidmurray9580]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Only Gene Clark and Ryan Adams possessed and possess this depth of soul in this genre of music.

[@grifftrain]

Good call David Murray. You named two of my favorite artists with Gene Clark and Ryan Adams. Ryan does a great cover of Gram’s “a song for you”

I'm 64. I didn't know of Gram Parsons till this year....and yet this is my favorite song, displacing "it hurts me too" Elmore James. Says alot

This song is a certified classic. Love the oldies

Love you Gram, you were just so far ahead of your time. This world wasn't ready for your beautiful voice and a face to match😻🎤🎸

One of the greatest videos ever! 😂😂😂 Gram was the man.

[@JimDiBattista]

This song was impossible to find on KZbin a couple of years ago-you could only see a small clip of it during some interview. I'm glad it's been found and posted-Thank you InternetPilgrim

[@luvsilly60]

So many great bands don’t get the recognition they should.

[@thomasiii5736]

Gram always talked about being influenced by John Denver's singing style, but you really notice it here.

[@virginiaviola5097]

The man who left the world with a whole ton of heartache. ❤️

[@grievousangel7364]

Lord what a sweet southern soul 💜💜💜. Rest easy Gram , but we wish you were here

[@_mothmaam_]

I wish he and Townes could’ve collaborated, seems like they would’ve gotten along well.

[@JRWorkshop]

Wow... I'm, I'm speechless. It's been a while a song just punch me in the center of my soul like this one has done. Truly sad song. Perfect for what I'm going through. Very talented guy, how didn't I knew about him before?

What a love song! Gram was the soul of Cosmic American Music. Love that Grievous Angel 🌟

[@robmoss8198]

There's something genuinely heartbreaking and real in the words and Gram's delivery. Always gets me.
