So apparently Ben's thread no longer exists....hmm....But if the thread does indeed still exist, just link it here, because I can't find it. If it doesn't exist, just let me know.

Anyway, appreciate.

I don't think so. He was back posting a couple days ago. Unless he got banned again already, ha. I hope not though.

[shit stroll]

then why did all of his threads gets deleted?

No idea. I had heard he was initially on a six month ban. It looks like he's totally gone though. Weird. I didn't even notice.

Remaking all my old threads? (http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=618112&highlight=gram)

Haha Just kidding. Very glad to see appreciation.

Nice OP, jerk. ;-)

Haha, kidding too. But yeah, Gram Parsons is great. Pretty under-appreciated around here, it seems.

Haha, I thought you liked Ryan Adams? Oh well.

But eh, I don't know. I'm a bigger fan of Ryan, but Gram was more consistent. Tough call. I think ultimately Gram was the better songwriter, I just enjoy Ryan's stuff a bit more, personally.

I do. The forum was dead that day and I was trying to stir up some controversy. I was listening to a bunch of Ryan yesterday because I downloaded a bunch of his unreleased stuff that I had been missing.

Ah, I gotcha. I don't venture into General much at all, but I understand he's pretty well loved in there, isn't he?

That's cool though. Have you seen his cover of "Return of the Grievous Angel" with Emmylou? It's pretty sweet.

Bump. I love this man.

[IWasaCamera]

Sweet.

[jbaseball44]

Gotta love Gram

[micahistheballs]

I am always annoyed that he only did vocals for two songs on Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

[IWasaCamera]

The Byrds never did anything for me.

I just like that record due to buying into the Gram Parsons myth haha. Their Dylan covers have always kind of bugged me oddly enough.

[IWasaCamera]

That's not so much odd as it is expected.

[micahistheballs]

Valid point. Many people think I just automatically love any song related to Dylan in any way.

I wish Parsons had stayed in bands longer though simply because it wreaks havoc on my last.fm

Enjoy, haha.

On topic, I only have Grievous Angel, what should I check out next?

[micahistheballs]

Ughhhhh

See, I figured you automatically carried disdain for Dylan covers. I'm that way with quite a few of my favorites.

GP, The Gilded Palace Of Sin, and Burrito Deluxe.

[murrich]

Thanks, will check some of that out.

[IWasaCamera]

I'd say GP first since I always preferred Gram "solo" more than his work with The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Agreed, always preferred the solo stuff.

Article I wrote on the Gilded Palace of Sin...

Listening to The Gilded Palace of Sin, my first non-Byrds Parsons record, and I really like this style. Could definitely get into more of his material.

[cshadows2887]

GP is pretty awesome.
