Gram Parsons

Ingram Cecil Connor III (November 5, 1946 – September 19, 1973), known professionally as Gram Parsons, was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist. Parsons is best known for his work within the country music genre; he also popularized what he called "Cosmic American Music", a hybrid of country, rhythm and blues, soul, folk, and rock. Besides recording as a solo artist, he played with the International Submarine Band, The Byrds, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. His relatively short career is described by AllMusic as "enormously influential" for country and rock, "blending the two genres to the point that they became indistinguishable from each other."

Close Up the Honky Tonks

Close Up the Honky-Tonks is a compilation double-LP by country rock artist The Flying Burrito Brothers, which was released in 1974. By this time, the Flying Burrito Brothers no longer existed, having been dissolved by Rick Roberts in 1973.

This compilation was released after Gram Parsons' death in 1973, presumably to capitalize on posthumous interest in Parsons' music, though the compilation does include cuts from the Chris Hillman-led post-Parsons era as well (on Side Four). This compilation still holds relevance into modern times as some of these songs have yet to be released anywhere else.

    Gram Parsons

    by: Gram Parsons

    Sometimes I get upset when people treat me bad
    I don't have time to think and so I get real mad
    I pull my hair and find somewhere that I can be alone
    But when I do I think of you and then I hurry home
    Where I've got chores to keep me busy
    A clock to keep my time
    A pretty girl to love me
    With the same last name as mine
    And when the flowers wilt
    A big old quilt to keep us warm
    I've got the sun to see your blue eyes
    And tonight you're in my arms
    Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past
    Money don't get me down but I can't make it last
    I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself
    stoned
    But when I do I think of you and head myself back home
    Where I've got chores to keep me busy
    A clock to keep my time
    A pretty girl to love me
    With the same last name as mine
    And when the flowers wilt
    A big old quilt to keep us warm
    I've got the sun to see your blue eyes
    And tonight you're in my arms
    Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past
    Money don't get me down but I can't make it last
    I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself
    stoned
    But when I do I think of you and head myself back home
