Drug Store Truck Driving Man Gram Parsons 1973

[mdudesk1]

I love it that Gram was fromGeorgia , and sang this to hell with the KKK I love peaches

[basicaa]

@mdudesk1 He spent his early years in Waycross, GA, but moved to Winter Haven, FL, where his mother's family ran a citrus empire. I went to high school with him -- that was a trip, as anyone else can tell you who knew him from that

I got into Gram Parsons a little late...Was a Stones Fan since 1970 and loving Wild Horses by the Stones led me to the earlier Burrito version,,,

[dadzbluz]

@1stSaintsFan Wild Horses is a Jagger-Richards composition, although Gram Parsons friendship with Keith and time spent with the Stones in France certainly influenced their writing. Keith Richards and Gram were both big country fans. In the documentary about Gram Parsons life his widow, Gretchen said that Mick and Keith' "gave Gram the song to record." The Stones also ensured the opening spot for The Burritos at Altamont. I was there and they were the openiing band! They were GREAT! Luv, BluzKat

@dadzbluz ...thanks for the note...I have been a big reader of rock history and certain bands since 1970..numerous Stones books and finished Grievous Angel : An Intimate Biography of Gram Parsons ...Which explained what you wrote...That Gram knew classic and obscure Country songs and turned Keith and then later Mick onto...I know Gram didn't get credit like you said, just a big influrence...I love the Stones and Gram...Peace Out!!

Gram sings "Ku" Klux Klan the way that most of us say it down here. He knows what it means.

[msjacquelineroh]

[basicaa]

@msjacquelineroh Did you know they called it Imperial Polk County because of the road system?

How great to hear this vintage recording. It's good to hear the talking as well as the music. Thank you for sharing this. --Jan

[johnebeaty]

Does anybody know where to find Joan Baez and Jeffery Shurtless's version of this song?

[PlaztekNerd]

It was on some out-take bootlegs from Woodstock, I think his last name was spelled Shurtleff, and he ad-libbed a verse about Ronald Reagan !

[aliaswhiteroom]

@PlaztekNerd

ronald raygunssss s

[billiam77]

This is on the woodstock soundtrack. You can buy it online or probably any music store. Double CD. Joan Baez and Jeffery Shurtless did a pretty good job, would loved to have been there to hear it live. The whole woodstock soundtrack is pretty good!!!

Yesterday was Ralph Emery's 76th birthday. He's lived long enough to know that he was wrong, I hope he lives to be 100 to rub his face in it.

[emjee]

@johnebeaty Long enough to know draft-dodging is wrong, you're right there..

[jczother]

@emjee They didn't even know how fucked up it really was over there, are you kiddin me. They should have never been issued. Fuck L.B.J. and Nixon pawns in a fucked up war that only won our boys lives!!!!
