[deadbunndeadbunn]

get someone to put it through a voice anylyzer

[basicaa]

I've only been listening to Gram for 50 years, but it doesn't sound like him to me

[crazyblondtits]

Good song, but i still wanna be a beatle :) m opinion

[MsHaroka]

love it!!

[dejordyball]

Yeah, it's him

[josgvis]

No doubts this is Gram Parsons!

[1stSaintsFan]

Sounds like a well baked party that happened to be in the studio just fucking up and off.,Gram Parson sounds to me...

[TheSoumyajyoti]

He was a leageand

god loves them who dies young....

[jawean61]

Addition- GP wrote this song too.

[jawean61]

This is without a doubt Gram Parsons- I heard this song years ago. It was a selection on the 1972 Lost Rehearsal tapes and is available now on the renamed Cosmic American Music. But thanks for posting this on youtube- it makes youtube worthwhile and it deserves to be here.

[kiernanist]

Undoubtedly Gram- sounds well-lit, too! Who found this recording and where? Thanks!

[benjamin422871]

I think it is Gram. I recognize his voice, and there's the part at 0:54 where you clearly hear the lyrics "Waycross, Georgia is my home." Not saying that proves anything, but Waycross, Georgia was Gram Parsons' home for a good part of his life.

[mrpianomancr]

This is Gram 100% sure. It sounds just like him. Gram loved country music. Sounds a lot like him if it isn't!

[SuperTomlynch]

Not Gram



[ben77114gaut]

qul est le prob ? il était pote avec Keith et c'est un bon morceau

[ibrewerwestislip]

I think its him singing. Not playing.

[dannyd1572]

I like a lot of Gram's stuff but this sucks.

[swiggy58a]

@dannyd1572 Who asked you?

[dannyd1572]

@swiggy58a The Freedom Of Speech Act did!

[swiggy58a]

@dannyd1572 Um; okay. Whatever. Enjoy yourself.

[howlinwolf73]

This is absolutely Gram Parsons. One of his ISB members told me before he died

that they played this song together. It was just an unfinished song idea. It was not a completed song.

[MrJsmyers]

@howlinwolf73 I think this is Byron Berline on fiddle.....it is Gram for sure

[jjkcharlie]

@MrJsmyers I think you've got a point there Judge.



[Krazede]

Unmistakeably A tuned up,out of tune Gram Parson...Man I would have LOVED to jam just 1 time with him...He united two music genres....

[singingwendy]

A Beatle? A Rolling stone? I'd rather be a Gram Parsons:)

[mugwamp4]

@singingwendy well lets look at the maths. a Beatle,, 50% chance of being dead ,,a Stone 20% chance of being dead ...gram parsons 100% chance of being dead.

[bluestone680]

a rolling beatle?

[southrules]

How is this Gram Parsons?

[ILOVERONNIE100]

who would you be? a rolling stone? or a beatle? me, a Rolling Stone! thumbs up!

[lcole98296]

Jimmyglitch - Oops - Posted my response twice (also well-oiled). haha

[lcole98296]

Jimmyglitch - Yes, it is Gram, and Rick Grech on fiddle. The song is indeed a Gram Parsons original and they were most certainly "well oiled" at the time this was recorded (on cassette, with a "ghetto blaster", as they're called now).

[acadx]

its gram on cosmic american music from what i understand recorded in 1972

[TerraceYouth]

Sounds like what's on County Honk by the Stones to me...

[harvey1954]

Ain't No Beatle is a song by Gary Sanders, a singer from Louisiana.

[blindlemonjoy]

The vocal is unmistakably Gram Parsons.

[kiernanist]

@blindlemonjoy you got it!

[lettingfreedomring09]

"Waycross, Georgia is my home." It's my home too!

[kingcrabspider]

@lettingfreedomring09 mine too

[jimmyglitch]

I've been wrong before, but I've never been as wrong as I am right now. That's the last time I question anything on the internet. 9/11 and now THIS? It's embarrassing...

[sludgeaholic]

@jimmyglitch ....hahahahaha....good call.....!!! i agree

[howlinwolf73]

It is also on the CD " Cosmic American Music ,The Reheasal Tapes 1972 "

import on Magnum Music Group records U.K.

[swanlikemodernlad]

This song comes off "Gram Parsons - The Lost Recordings". My cousin found it for me at a used vinyl store. Gear down jimmyglitch, know it all.

[kiernanist]

@swanlikemodernlad What a great find! Thanks for sharing!

[jawean61]

@swanlikemodernlad Heard the same vinyl years ago. good post

[jimmyglitch]

Don't hate it, but without doing any research, I'm going to say there's no way this is Gram. I'm not sure he wrote the tune--likely not. But the guitar style is not early 70's, the fiddle player is not anyone Gram played with...

...but sounds like a good party!

[sludgeaholic]

@jimmyglitch ......its Gram . You've only gotta 'listen' to the voice friend.As far as the 'styles' are concerned......what a load of bollocks ! Its this exact sound that made Gram the legend he is ! A sound that totally differs from his last , a sound you couldnt catagorize (if you will).As for subject matter..........its Gram to a tee....

[hankgwe]

@jimmyglitch

The fiddle player is probably Rick Grech.

[TerraceYouth]

@hankgwe Sounds like what's on County Honk by the Stones to me...

[Shidooobee]

@hankgwe I'm hearing this song for the first time now, and it made me think of the Rolling Stones song 'Country Honk' of the album Let It Bleed. The fiddle in that song is played by Byron Berline. When i checked wikipedia, it stated, he joined The Flying Burrito Brothers (in 1971), so my guess would be: Byron Berline,

[jfrsnjhnsn]

what album is this from?



[jjkcharlie]

Right on!

[HighTensionWire]

hey okapi898 you're opinyon blows and so does your screen name

[sciencekiller7689]

Sounds like the violin player was pretty drunk, or pretty stoned.

[jjkcharlie]

@sciencekiller7689 playing the notes that aren't there.

[jawean61]

@sciencekiller7689 Hanging out with GP probably alot of both.

[okapi898]

Out of tune....... badly......... garbage.

[monkey5000]

maybe ... it is an outtake i imagine ... but theres a germ of passion in there

[carney2000]

@okapi898 I imagine you do

[pat976]

@okapi898 go f$#k yourself, dude !!!

[Dilsteal]

@okapi898

just the right amount out of tune. i feel sorry for people like you who can't enjoy something for what it is.

[johnbucio]

Good!
