...I always thought this song was magical in that it really has no beginning and no ending...it's as if a microphone was suddenly thrust into a room where the Stones where frantically jamming at a blistering pace, red-hot and oblivious to anything else...and then a few minutes later the guy holding the microphone just walked away down the hall and the sound picked up by that mic faded into t

Lovely interview. I am a huge fan of Gram Parsons' music. The Byrds' "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" (the re-released version with Gram's vocals restored) and the Burritos' "The Gilded Palace Of Sin" are two of the greatest 'Country Rock' albums ever made. His solo work (GP and Grievous Angel) are masterworks. His voice had a fragility that gave it in
