Small Time Blues by Pete Droge (Almost Famous movie)

This video is an extra on the 'Almost Famous', The Bootleg Cut (Director's Edition) 2000 DVD. The quality isn't great, but it's not had much post-production on the DVD itself.

This track caught my attention and I spent quite a while tracking it down from the lyrics. (Well before the DVD was out.) According to a thread on SongFacts it's a tribute to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.

This track can be purchased on iTunes US as well as MSN Music US. Please support the artist!

I wasn't alive when music was like this, but damn I wish I was.

[v2vroth]

I always wondered if this was loosely based on Graham Parsons and Emmylou?

I ordered a cd (yes, they still exist) from amazon.com last year for like $5!!!! Not much else on the disc but this song is amazing!!!

[arael13]

please anybody !!!!! where can i buy this song,, itunes doesn't have it !!

Now I understand why this song never got the recognition it deserved. Apparently this song was only made in the late 90s. This song belongs in the 70s. If it would have been produced back then it would have been a world hit in my oppinion!

@DLeeTrois you weren't alive in 2000? that's when Pete Droge originally did the song.

it isn't just about the kind of music they are playing, is about whether you make the MUSIC itself the important thing, or just the money you get out of it. It is about passion, and the way of doing things, to make them wonderful, to enchant peoples hearts. i loved this movie because they quite got that feeling out of it.

@nolanborn510 im not trying to start an argument here but i think what they want to say is that why isn't this type of music dominating the radio/tv airwaves compared to the Biebers, Lady Gagas and Beyonce's. i agree with you that there are a lot of indie/underground bands and artists creating great music out there. it's just that the people handling the media chooses to play bubble gum pop, which is sad.
