The flying Burrito Brothers (Gram Parsons) - Tried so hard

[TheFashionbugs]

Warning: No Gram Parsons in this song/video! The owner of the channel is using a cheap tactic to get you to watch his videos!

[bicklesby1]

@TheFashionbugs I feel so , so , so used. I watched it twice

[lichtbundel]

Just awesome. Timeless. First heard it when I was just 3 years or so in the Netherlands. My father liked Country music. It just sticks to the genes.

[CadillacL]

Hmm, this doesn't sound like Gram.

[kezie666666]

great

The Beautiful, Doomed Genius of the Incomparably Great Gene Clark

[vito54749]

gene gene where are you now.

[fredquimbythe23rd]

One of Gene's best songs and the Burritos really moved it along on this version. Wasn't Pete Kleinow fantastic on steel?

[kyoung40]

Gram Parsons had already left the band, and this vocal is by Chris Hillman, because Gene Clark had left the band, also, when the famed "Blue" Album was released in '71!

[Mangosunsplash]

BACK TO THE POINT': I've since had -pretty convincin' INFO: THAT HE ACTUALLY DIED OF A ' SMACK OD' ....-WHAT'S THE TRUE PIC' ?????ANYONE KNOW???!!!!!!(Not that it matters a 'toss' ....just like to KNOW'!!!XXXT.

[RasMajnouni]

Gene Clark, not the Great Gram Parsons. Check out a song from this Gene Clark lp called "Polly"

[heliot58]

One of Chris Hillman's best vocals ever!

[scottdavis0801]

No Gram in this version. Still a great song by Genius Gene Clark.

[funknik]

the single version actually has Gene Clark participating . . .

[Claudian99]

Not read all the comments, so forgive me if this is a re-post, but Chris Hillam is on lead vocals here, not Gram. brillaint song though, thanks for posting....

[rockon1898]

Love this, but please get it right - this is from the Chris Hillman-Rick Roberts-Bernie Leadon Burritos, NOT Gram!

[55pogue]

its rick roberts singing with chris hillman,parsons was out of the band by this time

[llenllenllenl]

@55pogue  True. This is from The Burrito's 3rd album, (post-Gram Parsons). This album was almost as good as the Parsons-era Burritos. A great album.

[Tuzotonic]

I love this song, and not to be picky but it was actually Gene Clark who wrote this not Gram Parsons. Parsons had already left the band when this song was recorded.

[fasterthanbolt]

@Tuzotonic

Correct. Gene was an awesome songwriter

[Desperado235]

thx :)

[AGibsonJ]

Love this version of Gene Clark's wonderful song.

[supposedly about Michelle Phillips]

[instrofan]

one o' me favorite songs of all time. i love the brilliant chord change at "please her."

[HarmonyOneClass]

@instrofan It goes to E major - every other time it goes to E minor, so it sounds really bright there. Mind you this is if you play the song in the key of D.

Music Theory: In the key of D, E minor is the II- chord, but E major is called the V/V because it is a fifth away from A major, which is the 5 chord in D.

In major keys, every chord has a related V chord....

Not Rick Roberts, Fargo, but Chris Hillman

[hoppuss44]

this is a gene clark song i thought id point out

[lookinginfargo]

It's one of the Burritos' best songs . . . but it's from their third album, recorded after Parsons had been fired. That's Rick Roberts singing.

[hoppuss44]

its a gene clark song, not a burritos song, clark wrote this song in 66 a few months after he left the byrds for the first time

[vjk5552]

Not Rick Roberts, Fargo, but Chris Hillman.

[kahane2007]

I'm from India, heard this after ages, thank you for the magic and god bless you.
